We Love Mômes: our Montessori school in Versailles
As a Montessori school, we put the child at the heart of our concerns. We are a private school, but above all we are a bilingual, international school whose aim is to support children in their personal development.
We welcome children aged 2.5 to 6 in a Montessori nursery class, and children aged 6 to 10 in a Montessori elementary class.
The whole team wishes you all the best for 2024!
Our classes are mixed-age, based onMontessori pedagogy, where children interact and collaborate.
The school is open 4 days a week, from 8:30 am to 4 pm, with bilingual daycare until 6:30 pm.
Every Wednesday and during the school vacations, we offer extracurricular activities focusing on bilingualism and nature.
Our Versailles Montessori school accepts new enrolments all year round!
A Montessori elementary school
Our school offers a unique environment in mixed-age French-English bilingual classes. Our two Montessori environments, with their specially prepared spaces, enrich learning. Montessori materials guide an exceptional pedagogical approach. Our structure is precisely tailored to the developmental needs of each age group.
Montessori Kindergarten - 2.5 to 6 years
“Encouraging Exploration and Growth
In the bilingual kindergarten class, children explore a prepared and stimulating environment, designed to foster natural curiosity and all-round development. Students use Montessori materials specially adapted to their age. Interactive and sensory activities are carefully designed to cultivate fundamental skills. They are valuable because they also nurture an early love of learning. Teachers act as caring guides, fostering cognitive, social and emotional growth.
Montessori Elementary - ages 6 to 12
“Autonomy and Progressive Development”.
The bilingual elementary classroom offers children a “self-directed” environment. This prepared environment meets the specific needs of this age group, always using Montessori materials. Students explore their interests and choose their own activities. Teachers monitor and guide this exploration, and encourage critical thinking and problem-solving whatever the context, academic or social. This approach helps develop responsibility and prepares students for academic and personal success.

WHAT IS MONTESSORI PEDAGOGY?
Montessori pedagogy is above all a philosophy, a way of perceiving the child. In fact, we see them as actors in their own construction. The aim is to enable children to develop and express their potential, thanks to an appropriate environment and respect for their personality.
Thus, the essence of Montessori education lies in the development of each child in all its dimensions: physical, social, intellectual and emotional. As children have different needs at different times, our schools enable them to be the masters of their own development through selected experiences. We are a private Montessori school, which allows us to apply this unique pedagogy.
MONTESSORI VERSAILLES SCHOOL COMMITMENTS
Foran educational program to be considered “Montessori”, it must include several criteria. First of all, multi-age groups are essential to encourage peer learning. Then long, uninterrupted cycles of work time are needed to enable the child to achieve concentration. Under the supervision of professionals, called educators or assistants, children can be supported in their development and learning.

“Our main concern must be to educate humanity, or rather human beings in all countries, to guide them and help them pursue common goals. We must roll up our sleeves and make the child our main concern. The efforts of science must be focused on him, for he is the source and key to humanity’s enigmas.”
