EDUCATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Montessori British School
Our essential teaching method is based on the guidelines of the Montessori school. Our students achieve happiness by learning in a playful way and implementing their intellectual, cognitive, emotional, spiritual, physical, moral, and aesthetic training in environments and living spaces designed to stimulate, motivate, and enhance the spectrum of their multiple intelligences (linguistic, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic). All of the above is supported by physical resources (such as guides, teaching aids, and specialized instruments for each area of knowledge) and human resources (characterized by their high level of professional qualification and ethical and moral suitability).
We develop a multilingual environment (Spanish, English, French, and Mandarin), without ignoring the validity and preeminence of the mother tongue and national cultural values. We educate citizens of a country, but simultaneously prepare students for active and transformative participation as citizens of a global and multicultural society. Thus, our education incorporates, promotes, and implements universal human values in the local social and family environment, with an emphasis on respect for freedom of religious worship and expression. This provides our students with a comprehensive education, with social responsibility and commitment to the great challenges of today's society.

PRINCIPLES AND VALUES
Montessori British School
Our institution's essential teaching method is based on the Montessori school principles.
In accordance with the Montessori school, and based on solid and true values, our education guarantees the full development of the human personality. The institutional values that underpin the comprehensive education at the Montessori British School are summarized in the acrostic of the word Montessori as a sign of identity and belonging. Although originally named in English—given that it is the most widely used language in the academic context—we offer a definition in Spanish of the value or values, so that they are clear and accessible to the entire educational community:
Our aim is to raise well-rounded students with high academic levels in all domains of knowledge.
STRATEGIC PLAN

INSTITUTIONAL PROFILE
Montessori British School
We are a co-educational, international, multilingual, and intercultural institution. Our primary objective is to bring up human beings endowed with values, critical thinking, and commitment to the social reality of our country and the world. In consequence, we base our educational methods on the following aspects:
C: CHALLENGE
We teach with creativity. Our students are always pushed to do innovative work that reflects their critical thinking. We have original physical premises, which, much like a museum, inspire learning.
R: RAINBOW
Our school encompasses rainbowlike intelligences and values. We teach across different intelligences (linguistic-verbal, logical-mathematical, corporal-kinesthetic, spatial, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalistic) and cultural values, seeking to develop them through the subjects we teach.
O: Organization and quality (Organización y calidad)
All the processes of our organization are structured, measurable, and applicable at the time of making the right decisions, always in search of continuous improvement. Likewise, we teach and demand organization from our students, as we believe it essential for them to succeed.
W: Wisdom (Sabiduría)
We maintain our students’ expectations high and constant, for our methodology allows them to learn by living real experiences, applying new technologies, and positively impacting their community.
N: New Generation (Nueva Generación)
We focus on new cultures and languages. We learn and teach in four languages (English, French, Mandarin, and Spanish), besides attending to the cultural values they convey.
