A beautiful sunset to end a beautiful day. FMS Founders’ Day is special in so many ways. It’s celebrated on or close to Maria Montessori’s birthday. It’s the day we invite Grandparents and Grand-friends to come along and see what a Montessori-education is really all about, enjoy morning tea and hear our story. It’s a rich story of truly dedicated Founders who started a Montessori school for their own children because they believed do much in the power of a Montessori education.

Today, we celebrate our heritage-Dr Maria Montessori, FMS Founders and our Grandfriends who truly know what it means to connect the generations.

Dr Montessori's concept of education encompasses more than what we can simply teach a child, and instead focuses on how to see, nurture and develop the potential of each individual child to learn, grow and discover for themselves.

When education is framed this way, it's not only more interesting for the student, the opportunities boundless.
