A child’s early experiences help to form the foundations for their relationship with the world. Joyful early experiences help the child to see beauty in the world. It is with this in mind that we have created an environment for children that is truly beautiful inside and out, in every way.
This begins with the building itself, the physical environment that will provide a home away from home. Rosemont House is located at 59 Kensington Road, Norwood and is a stunning, Heritage-listed Victorian mansion with significant historical relevance to Adelaide. It was built in 1856 by James Watson and in 1861 became the home of William Christie Buik who served as Mayor of Kensington and Norwood, and later as Mayor of Adelaide between 1878 and 1879. Over the years it has seen many transformations, from offices to medical rooms. Now, for the first time in many years, it has been restored to its original glory as a well loved family home. We are thrilled to be the guardians of this wonderful building. This building has a rich history but we are delighted to be opening a new chapter, one filled with energy, vibrancy and joy. Each family who attends Rosemont House Montessori will be writing their own page in the story of this unique environment.
