The school relies on Montessori pedagogy and neuroscience to release and deploy the cognitive, social and physical skills of all children. The vocation is to develop the potential of each child in an exceptional material and human environment. The education follows Maria Montessori's tradition and is viewed as an 'aid to life,' with the aim that children become free, confident, aware and responsible individuals. The school emphasizes three pillars—Observation, Rigor and Researchers—to guide teaching and continual improvement.
The school offers Montessori Activities, an English course, Visual Arts in English, Musical Awakening and Theater workshops. These workshops run on Wednesdays for ages 3 to 12 and develop motor skills, language, creativity and self‑confidence. The Visual Arts program introduces children to fine arts and artistic culture, while Theater helps express emotions and foster curiosity and collaboration.
The school provides 100% bilingual education with two educators per class, one English‑speaking and one French‑speaking, both present daily. Fully bilingual materials are used, including books and games in both languages. Children hear and practice English and French every day, with immersion leveraging the sensitive period before age 8. The school has a Cambridge English language program starting from age 7, with Cambridge tests available (Fun For Starters, Movers and Flyers) though tests are not mandatory; CEFR levels pre‑A1 to A2.
Wednesday workshops for ages 3 to 12 include Montessori activities, an English course, Visual Arts in English, Musical Awakening and Theater. The Theater program uses play to help children express themselves and develop listening, curiosity and creativity. These activities foster autonomy, concentration, social interaction and an openness to learning.
The school partners with Pour un Sourire d'Enfant (PSE) to support children in Cambodia and raise funds through campaigns and product sales. PSE has operated in Cambodia for nearly 30 years to lift children out of poverty through education and vocational training.
The living environment includes 1500 m² of outdoor space for movement, sensory and cognitive development. Greenery includes small plantations and animals, with a park at the foot of the classroom, enabling daily nature experiences. The school is housed in a Belle Epoque mansion dating from 1900, renovated to childcare standards to provide a safe, aesthetically pleasing setting. Hygiene and safety standards are scrupulously observed, access is secured, and meals accommodate allergies and medical needs with trained supervising teams.
École Montessori Internationale de Nice is an international Montessori school in France for ages 2 to 12. It teaches Montessori pedagogy across three age-based levels: The Children's Community (2–3), The Children's House (3–6), and The Elementary School (6–12).
