House on the Hill Montessori emphasises a child-centric approach that supports independence and freedom within limits. Unlike traditional preschools that may follow a more structured, adult-led curriculum, Montessori education encourages children to choose their activities and learn through hands-on experience at their own pace, fostering a sense of responsibility and critical thinking. We instil strong language and mathematical skills to prepare your child for their next step in local or international schools.

While the ideal starting age can vary depending on individual development, House on the Hill Montessori offers programmes starting from infancy, recognising that early years are a critical period for developing a foundation for lifelong learning.

House on the Hill follows the Montessori curriculum and is tailored to ensure children are well-rounded and have a solid foundation in all subjects necessary for academic and life success. It is centred on a hands-on experiential learning approach and is designed to cater to your child’s holistic development.

 The curriculum includes Practical Life, Language, Mandarin, Sensorial, Phonics, Mathematics, Culture and Geography, creative expression, and social awareness to nurture independent learning and critical thinking skills.

 We also have a Mandarin programme aimed at building a solid foundation for students to listen to, speak, read, and write in Mandarin.

House on the Hill Montessori maintains a low teacher-to-child ratio, allowing personalised attention and guidance. This setup is especially beneficial for our mixed-age classes, a unique feature among House on the Hill Montessori schools that encourages peer learning among different age groups.

Mandarin is a vital part of the House on the Hill curriculum alongside its English curriculum enhancing language acquisition from an early age. We strive to instill a love of the language for each child through engaging and stimulating lessons that will help them achieve a native level of fluency by the time they graduate. Through an immersive and joyful learning experience, your child will be able to listen, read, write, and speak in Mandarin. And will prepare your child for primary school 1 readiness and comprehension.

We also offer a Japanese optional program. This is available once a week at our Balmoral and Mount Sophia schools.
