In this program we teach parents to observe their children and we also provide parents with the skills necessary for organizing their home environment according to their child's needs. These classes become a wonderful community for parents and a source of support.
Five-day program for children between the ages of 1,5 and 3 years.
This is the place where children stay without their parents. Here they form relationships with other adults, learn the skills of self-care (getting dressed and undressed, learning to use the toilet, preparing food, etc.) and learn how to interact with other children. The work is held in Russian and English languages.

Five Day program for children between the ages of 3 and 6 years.
The environment in this program is built in a way that we can provide the development of social, mathematical and language skills by using every child's natural interest.

Half Day | 8:30 - 12:00 - 75 000 RUB Full Day | 8: 30 - 15:45 - 90 000 RUB
Five Day program for children between the ages of 6 and 12 years.
In this program, academic skills and the development of intelligence come first. Adults assist children in organizing trips outside the classroom. Together with a mentor, children learn to plan their time in order to pay attention to all those activities that are important to them. All this contributes to establishing an objective and structured worldview and prepares each child to find his or her place in it.
Montessori program for adolescents between the ages of 11 and 15 years
By the age of 11, our students have taken their first steps in the field of entrepreneurship and the development of their own projects. The teenager is no longer a child, but not yet an adult. It is important for him or her to separate from his or her family and make sure that he/she is needed and valued outside of it. We organize the day in such a way that academic and practical activities alternate, and we also allocate time for relaxation and reflection.
Let us tell you why MSM is unique and introduce you to the Montessori Method
Bilingual approach
In all of our programs we use English and Russian languages. This makes the process of learning the language natural and comfortable for every child.
We are 14 years old
We were the first in Moscow who began to work according to the international standards and cooperated with colleagues from abroad.
Seminars for parents
For example, we educate parents on how to support their child's interest in Math and how such interest can be revealed in later years.
AMI Standard
This means that our Lead Teachers are qualified professionals in the Montessori education field. In order to work with your child, each teacher goes through 2-3 years of academic training, including teaching practice in other schools. This guarantees qualified and serious approach to each child's education.
Safety
A fire alarm in every room, staff trainings with first responders and regular evacuation trainings with the children. We are extremely serious about this.
Nutrition
In our children's menu, there are no dishes with sugar and no pork. For children who have special needs in nutrition, we develop an individual menu.
Our Families' Stories
During the time that our children spent in MSM we've noticed extreme achievements in their development in this very important period in their lives.
Jens and Louise Harpot
Our graduates' parents from Denmark
Today we feel really proud when people admire our children's behavior, how independent and hard-working they are. I do not know any other school in Moscow that could give them a better foundation for the future life.
Sona Lasikova
MSM graduates' mother
This is the school for those who know what their growing child needs. It's for the parents who want their children to be happy, curious, independent.
Tijana Vucak
Mother of Helena and Sofia Kaljevic
Our family is from Greece where mechanistic memorizing as the method of education is normal. We were pleasantly surprised when we discovered in Moscow the cozy oasis of quietness for our children.

Why Montessori?
A systemic and deeply developed methodology that has existed for over 100 years.
The innovative essence of the Montessori method is that this approach is based on the method of scientific observation. We take into account universal human needs and tendencies, and in doing so, we take into account the developmental level of each individual child before offering him or her this or that activity. The Montessori method provides children with freedom within clear rules in a prepared environment. The child develops naturally, taking into account his/her innate characteristics, and this contributes to the fullest development of his potential.
Special Montessori materials Their position, methods of presentation to children and forms of work with them are the product of a deep methodological study carried out in different countries with the participation of a large number of children and for more than 100 years. All materials are designed in such a way as to support the natural cognitive interest of the child.
Prepared environment
A key element of the Montessori method. Each classroom is a living environment. It is designed in such a way as to be easily adapted to the changing needs of both each individual child and the entire group as a whole.
Self-regulation
In Montessori environments, the principle of "uninterrupted work cycles" is implemented, each cycle lasting approximately 3 hours. At this time, there are no interventions and interruptions in the activities of children in the form of school bells or breaks set by adults. At the same time, the students have complete freedom of movement around the class and can both work and relax or watch the work of others. It helps them build themselves.
Concentrated attention
In the Montessori method, this is called "spontaneous discipline" - the ability of children to enter a special state in which their attention is completely focused on what they are doing. In our classes all the conditions needed for the development of this ability are provided. No one will disturb the child, distract him or her with "another lesson", force him/her to switch because the bell rang. This skill is very important for the development of the capacity for prolonged and joyful work.
Learning through discovery!
Cognition through work with the material, and not based on the explanations of the teacher.
What is the difference between a school and «daycare»?
The essential difference is the full implementation of the Montessori method and the continuity of programs. The child moves from one level of development to the next, staying with us for many years and strengthening his bonds with peers and adults. In addition, we have been focused on the AMI international standard from the very beginning: our school has adhered to it since its inception.
Teachers
The training of specialists takes several years. This is a complex and deep learning designed to ensure high quality work with your child.
System
Continuous professional development, connections with local and international communities of colleagues, supervision of children by specialists, constant parent education.
Materials
Montessori materials are not just toys. These are seriously designed teaching aids that should be correctly presented to the child. That's when the "Montessori miracle" happens.
Support for parents
We help parents develop competencies and skills necessary to support their child's natural development at home.
