Montessori School of Mallorca

The IGCSEs are here ✨

The IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) are international exams taken at the end of secondary school, opening the door to higher education opportunities around the world.

After two years of preparation, our students now face this challenge — one that not only assesses knowledge, but also something much deeper: consistency, organisation, commitment, and the ability to sustain effort over time.

At The Montessori School of Mallorca, we believe in a whole-child education. We care deeply about the human, emotional and relational development of our students… while at the same time strongly committing to a solid academic foundation that prepares them for future challenges and opens doors to the world.

Because supporting them also means this: helping them trust in everything they have built, step by step.

Wishing the very best of luck to all our students sitting their exams in the coming days 🍀
We are with you.

At The Montessori School of Mallorca, one of our most cherished principles is “Learning from Peers.” But what does this truly mean for our students?

It’s not just about sharing a classroom; it’s a powerful development tool. When a child or adolescent explains a concept to a peer, they consolidate their own knowledge in a way that even the most formal lesson cannot equal. And the one receiving the explanation absorbs it with the naturalness and closeness of someone who is going through the same learning process.

the youngest are inspired by observing older children working with advanced materials, feeling driven to grow. The older children, in turn, reinforce their mastery by acting as guides, developing patience and empathy.

In Secondary, team projects and in-depth discussions become the driving force. Students learn to debate ideas, to value different perspectives—crucial skills not only for academic success but for professional and personal life.

✨ Did you know that Taylor Swift attended a Montessori school? ✨

Taylor Swift, born on December 13th, 1989 in Reading, Pennsylvania, spent part of her early childhood in a Montessori school, where she attended preschool and kindergarten. During those years, she lived near a forest, surrounded by nature, trees, and freedom… an environment that nurtured her sensitivity, creativity, and unique way of seeing the world.

At her Montessori school —Alvernia Montessori School— Taylor experienced an education that respects each child’s rhythm and encourages curiosity, independence, and exploration. The same foundation that would later help her find her own professional path and become one of the most influential artists in the world.

At Montessori School of Mallorca, we deeply believe in that parallel:
⭐ Montessori education provides children with the tools to discover their talents, develop their authenticity, and shape their own direction.
⭐ We accompany our students on this journey with respect, observation, and expert guidance.
⭐ And just like Taylor, our children grow up surrounded by nature, free to explore, create, and connect with the world that inspires them.

Because we never know if the next brilliant scientist, the future artist who will move the world… or the next Taylor Swift is growing in our classrooms. 🌿✨

🎃 Halloween & All Saints’ Day at The Montessori School of Mallorca 👻

Halloween originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain , a celebration marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter — a time when people believed the world of the living and the spirit world came closer together. Over time, this tradition travelled across countries and evolved into the celebration we know today, full of costumes, pumpkins, and fun.

In Spain, around this time of year we also celebrate **All Saints’ Day**, a day to remember and honour loved ones, visit cemeteries, and enjoy traditional treats such as panellets, buñuelos, or roasted chestnuts.

At The Montessori School of Mallorca, our international community celebrates these dates in many different ways. Some families carve pumpkins and dress up, others share traditional sweets or remember their ancestors. And some families choose not to follow any tradition at all — which we think is just as wonderful.

Each family contributes their own culture — or their own choice — and that is precisely what enriches and gives life to our school: **a diversity of traditions, beliefs, and ways of celebrating (or not celebrating) that coexist with respect, curiosity, and joy. 🍂

“Everyone talks about peace, but no one educates for peace in this world; they educate for competition, and competition is the beginning of any war. When we educate to cooperate and be in solidarity with one another, that day we will be educating for peace.” – Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori lived through two world wars. In a time marked by violence, division, and fear, she devoted her life to imagining a different future — one in which education would be the seed of peace.

Her ideas about war, cooperation, and human dignity were so revolutionary that she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1949 and 1950.

In her book Education and Peace, Montessori invites us to understand that peace is not merely the absence of war but “a way of life that must be cultivated from childhood,” through respect, empathy, and collaboration.

For her, peace is built from the earliest years of life, when children learn to live together and resolve conflicts with understanding and respect. Montessori believed that education has the power to transform society, replacing competition with cooperation and nurturing in each child the awareness of belonging to a common humanity.

She also taught that peace is an inner state, a balance that begins within each person and extends to their relationships with others. Only education that cultivates this inner peace can sustain peace in the world.

At The Montessori School of Mallorca, we deeply believe in this vision: to educate for peace is to educate for a better world. 🌿✨
