Buccleuch Montessori School is one of the largest and most established Montessori Schools in Africa – promoting world class Montessori education for children ages 4 months to 13 years. We owe our success to our consistently high standards and our passion for educating the ‘whole child’ within the Montessori framework.

What is Montessori Education?

Montessori is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play. In Montessori classrooms children make creative choices in their learning, while the classroom and the teacher offer age-appropriate activities to guide the process. Children work in groups and individually to discover and explore knowledge of the world and to develop their maximum potential.

“Both my girls flourished at Buccleuch Montessori. They were academically and socially well-prepared and made the transition to a mainstream high school with ease. I am very happy with the solid foundation that they received on all fronts. This school is truly dedicated to the principals of quality education.”

Vishwakarma

“My father was transferred to the Netherlands when I was in Grade 7. On entering high school, I was so academically advanced, I skipped 2 years! I am forever grateful to the kind, devoted teachers at Buccleuch Montessori who had opened doors beyond my imagination.”

Milla Bekker

“Buccleuch Montessori is truly a wonderful school environment. Best decision I have made for my girl. Thank you Buccleuch Montessori!”

Kim Scroder

“Real individual attention for my daughter's educational and emotional needs - many schools may claim this, but Buccleuch Montessori truly offers it.”

Tabisa

“A solid educational foundation which equipped me to achieve well in sports, culture, leadership, and academics in my high school and tertiary education. The warm and welcoming environment is more like a second home than just an academic institution.”

Michael Bongani Reinders

“I attended the school from the age of 3. It sparked my love for scientific exploration. This is evident in my present PhD studies in Chemical Engineering. Buccleuch Montessori is for parents seeking a head start for their child to becoming the best person he/she can be.”

Saartjie

“What an unforgettable moment when my daughter’s team won the Arnold Schwarzenegger Tournament – and her not even being a “sports” person! This was only made possible through the hard work and dedication of the sport coaches. Both my children are thriving here.”

Charmilla Poobala

“My four year old can already write her name and count to 30. She has learned to be so independent and well disciplined. I am looking forward to see what is next… a medical career in the making, for sure!”

Ziyanda Diko

“Our daughter was struggling academically at a local private school – then they suggested a remedial school! Instead we brought her to Buccleuch Montessori Primary. Seven months later and she is thriving – a confident and happy child who has developed in leaps and bounds"
