Montessori School of Athens Maria Goudeli is a Montessori school in Greece serving children from 2.5 to 12 across levels: Nursery, Kindergarten, and Primary. Each class accommodates up to 23 students and is taught by one teacher with a Montessori assistant or specialist educator as needed. Classes use mixed-age groups, a prepared Montessori environment with natural materials, and work organized by students with teacher support. There is no homework in Primary, and the emphasis is on internal motivation, free choice, collaboration, and paced learning. The program fosters social development alongside strengthening logical thinking, while social skills are emphasized in the Toddlers' class. The school is owned by the Maria and Sotiris Goudeli Foundation, a nonprofit philanthropic foundation. The Montessori approach is adapted to the Greek context. The school runs a four-week Summer Camp after the school year, combining Montessori activities with swimming, excursions, crafts, and chess lessons, preserving Montessori ethos.
