Lucy Welsted is the founder and director of Montessori Córdoba International School. The first phase converted a family home into a modern Montessori environment with three classrooms. In 2019 the second phase added a new building with five additional classrooms. The campus sits on a 2,500 m2 plot on the outskirts of Córdoba, with 550 m2 of indoor classrooms, 200 m2 of terraces and 1,500 m2 of play areas, and a doorstep bus route. The school is NEASC-accredited as an international school.
We do many activities for families to participate in their children's school life. There are orientation sessions for Montessori pedagogy and series of workshops where we learn more about children's education at home and at school. The school committees through which parents can, if they want, share their time, ideas and knowledge about the evolution of the project; observation days; the open house day for families and much more. Each Montessori Córdoba family contributes according to their availability to make our school and their children's education an extension of their home.

There are observation days and the open house day for families. Each Montessori Córdoba family contributes according to their availability to extend their children's education beyond home. Education begins at home with the family, which is the primary educator, and the Montessori school is a natural extension of the home; families are encouraged to participate in school life.
Montessori Córdoba International School offers a Montessori curriculum for ages 0 to 12 across five programs. The Nido (0.5–1.5 years) is an English-immersion space with a dedicated teacher for up to four babies. The Infant Community (1–3 years) provides English immersion that promotes independence, respect, and autonomy. The Children's House (3–6 years) offers a home-like setting with full linguistic immersion in English, where children learn to speak, read, and write in English. The Elementary (6–12 years) comprises three bilingual classrooms with 70–80% English instruction and the remainder in Spanish. Education is personalised with tailored study plans, and older students mentor younger ones. The programme prepares students for international citizenship through language immersion and Montessori principles. Lucy Welsted, founder and director, guides the school. The campus sits on a 2,500 m2 plot on Córdoba's outskirts, with 550 m2 indoor spaces, 200 m2 terraces, and 1,500 m2 of play areas. NEASC accreditation.
