Amalur Comunitat Educativa Montessori offers a Montessori-led education for ages 3 to 16, blending hands-on learning with a multilingual environment. The program uses the Montessori curriculum with instruction in Catalan and Spanish, and English as part of daily life, enabling students to acquire language skills naturally through authentic activities. Class sizes are deliberately small, ensuring individualized guidance and steady progress, with ratios around 1:8 in early years, 1:14 in workshops, and 1:15 in secondary. A central pillar is daily contact with nature, connecting academic work with the surrounding environment and fostering curiosity and responsibility. Teachers continuously train to implement Montessori methods faithfully, focusing on concrete materials, self-paced development, and respectful academic growth. The school cultivates a strong community where families, students, and staff learn together, with a clear emphasis on sustainability and social commitment integrated into daily routines. Signature features include a trilingual model and a community-centered ethos for families.
