Escola Natura Montessori in Castellbisbal, Barcelona province, combines Montessori pedagogy with forest-school practices for children aged 1 to 12. Housed in a 17th-century farmhouse surrounded by forest, the campus offers a natural setting while remaining accessible to families with transport options. Multi-age communities—Infant Community (1-3), Casa de Niños (3-6), and Taller I–II (6-12)—foster collaboration, independence, and peer learning. Instruction in Catalan, Spanish, and English includes dedicated English language support. Learning is guided by Maria Montessori's scientific observation, shaping the prepared environment around each child to support emotional, physical, social, and academic development. Academic spaces cover geography, geometry, mathematics, history, and language, with Montessori materials arranged to support progression. The school emphasizes autonomy, creativity, love of nature, and responsible participation. Extracurriculars include a nature-focused Casal de Verano Natura Montessori and weekly forest-school outings, reinforcing outdoor learning and community engagement. The dining hall serves ecological, locally sourced foods.
