Forestville Montessori School (FMS) is an Independent School, 0-12 years, located in the picturesque suburb of Forestville on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
Each stage of your child’s life indirectly prepares them for the next. Starting in our Birth-3 Program, we embrace your child’s individuality whilst nurturing ways to explore a deep and meaningful understanding of the world around them. Our NIDO, Parent Toddler (0-3 Years), and Toddler Community (2-3 Years) are all included in this program.
During their time in our Pre-Primary (3-6 Years) Program, students are encouraged to seek adventures each day, sparking their natural curiosity, independence and joy for lifelong learning. Within our Pre-Primary (3-6 Years) Program, we provide both three, four and five day options, with extended hours available (8:30am-5:30pm). Before and After School Care along with Vacation Care become available once students enter our Pre-Primary (3-6 Years) Program.
As they transition to our Lower Primary (6-9 Years) Program, students are offered hands-on, self-paced, collaborative learning. Following their 9th birthday, students make their final transition into our Upper Primary (9-12 Years) Program, where we play to each child’s innate strengths – regardless of their age or ability - without competitive pressure.
At FMS we celebrate joyful scholars who embrace independence, responsibility, initiative and self-discipline. We guide each individual student to take their place in the world, as mentors and leaders of the future.
We welcome you to schedule a personalised tour to see our classrooms in action, and learn how we can help your child thrive beyond at FMS.
