The educational model
EDUCATIONAL MODEL
At Montessori Gran Bilbao we offer a unique and cutting-edge educational model that combines academic excellence with the comprehensive development of the child. Our educational approach is based on Montessori pedagogy, adapted to the needs of today's world and enriched with an international Montessori curriculum that fosters autonomy, critical thinking and socio-emotional skills.
The Montessori Method
Montessori pedagogy, based on scientific observation of child development, allows children to learn by exploring in a prepared environment. At Montessori Gran Bilbao, we encourage independence and self-directed learning, offering spaces designed with specific materials that facilitate manipulation and experimentation. Our mixed-age classrooms promote cooperation and learning among peers, while the Montessori guide acts as a facilitator, respecting the pace of each child. We believe in an education that nurtures curiosity, critical thinking and autonomy, preparing students to face the future with confidence.
Prepared Environment and Montessori Materials
Our environments are designed as a prepared environment, where every detail contributes to the child's autonomous learning. Montessori materials allow for a deep understanding of abstract concepts through direct experience.
Education for Peace and Nonviolent Communication
At the heart of our philosophy is Peace Education. We foster peaceful coexistence and mutual respect through Nonviolent Communication (NVC), teaching children to express their emotions and needs in a conscious and empathetic way.
Connection with Nature and Active Life
Located in a privileged environment, we integrate nature into our educational model, promoting outdoor learning and physical activities that complement the child's comprehensive development. We collaborate with the Artxanda Sports Centre, the Bilbao libraries and other facilities in the area, providing enriching spaces for both learning and sporting activities.
Development of Soft Skills and Social Model
Beyond academic knowledge, we prepare our students for the future through the development of essential soft skills, such as effective communication, conflict resolution, empathy and autonomy. Our social model encourages teamwork, cooperation and responsibility, building a school community based on respect and the active participation of each child in their learning process.
Mentoring and Personalized Education
Each child has the support of a mentor who accompanies him/her in his/her personal and academic development. Through a close and guided relationship, mentoring allows the identification of his/her strengths, needs and interests, facilitating meaningful learning adapted to his/her development.
