CLASSIC MONTESSORI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL is a preschool for 2 1/2 to 6-year-olds of all nationalities who communicate and are guided in English as the school's primary language. In an aesthetic environment the children are challenged by a broad spectrum of genuine Montessori materials that help them develop fundamental motor and technical skills, acquire self-discipline and enhance their creativity. They gain basic understanding and abilities in the areas of aesthetic perception, communication, reading, writing, calculating, rhythm and drawing. Linked up by a semester long theme, creative activities in drama, art and music complement the individual work and daily conversational circle. Many years of experience and dedication to the Montessori method contribute to the staff's professional qualification. After extensive studies in education the leading teacher received her classical Montessori training and International AMI-Diploma from Professor Hellbrügge in Munich, a spiritual companion of Maria Montessori's grandson, Mario, and co-author of their books.
