Our Philosophy

We believe that education should be broad, balanced, and integrated and that it should breed effective acquisition of social, academic, and practical skills in a carefully prepared environment, which fosters the aim for excellence. Our school and daycare programs are built to encourage children to love learning and be caring, socially responsible citizens of their community and the world. We seek to educate the whole child, applying the Montessori philosophy, in a family-oriented environment. The Montessori philosophy is based on the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori whose holistic vision of education focuses on the cognitive, social, emotional, and physical needs of the child. For Dr. Maria Montessori, and at The Britleys – education is preparation for life.

Our Classrooms

At The Britleys School, we nurture children's natural love of learning through hands-on exploration and real-life lessons. Uninterrupted work time encourages concentration, while freedom of choice empowers students to own their learning. Kindness, compassion, and respect thrive in our carefully prepared environment, fostering curiosity and independence. We guide children to develop self-sufficiency, preparing them for life's adventures with a love of learning and a strong academic and social foundation.
