FAQ

Below you may find a list of the most frequently asked questions when entering the school, and the answers to them. You can get detailed answers on a general visit with a teacher and the school administration.
How does the adaptation to preschool look like?

Adaptation to kindergarten begins with an individual visit of the child to class. The child gets acquainted with the teacher and the environment during the absence of other children in class. During this meeting, the child gets the first experience of interacting with the teacher, working with materials in the classroom and orientation in a new space for him. Regular class attendance begins with short visits. Observing the child, we increase the time he spends in class. After a while, the child starts visiting in accordance with the chosen program.

During adaptation, parents receive daily feedback from the teacher so that this period is comfortable for the child. Parents also have the opportunity to get answers to the questions that arise.


Do sick children attend classes?

We are attentive/ pay great attention to the health of children attending school. In the morning, teachers examine the children visually. If the child does not feel well and symptoms of discomfort are visible, we immediately inform the parent, and the child goes home.

For the prevention of diseases, we regularly clean surfaces, ventilate the premises, disinfect the air using germicidal lamps, and disinfect materials.

How do children transfer from the Elementary to Middle School?
Upon completion of the 6-12 program, students have a level of academic knowledge that meets the requirements of modern educational programs. Upon completion of the program, 12 year olds are highly motivated to study. They are independent and ready for cooperation, take responsibility, know how to work in a group, plan their activities and achieve their goals. All of these skills and abilities allow them to successfully transition to, and be successful in, middle school. We are also confident that the next levels of Montessori education will actively develop in Moscow and Russia in the near future, and children will have the opportunity to continue their education in an environment that helped them at first.
Does the school have parent education meetings?
During the year, our school regularly hosts informational meetings for parents: seminars given by teachers and the educational director, monthly meetings with a consulting psychologist on topics relevant to parents, as well as morning teas with the school director, where we mostly discuss organizational issues. You can find out more about events for the parents of the school in the section of the site ‘Calendar of events’.
Can a child get enrolled in the program in the middle of the school year?
Admission to preschool is possible throughout the school year, depending on the availability of places in the class. As a rule, children enter Elementary class in June or August. In any case, we consider each specific situation individually.
Why do Montessori classes have children of different ages?

Groups of different ages open up more opportunities for personal, social, intellectual and emotional development. In groups of different ages, there is a constant process of transferring knowledge and skills from older children to younger ones. Younger children observe the work of the older groupmates and see what they can do and what they will do better when they grow up. In addition, the younger ones do not need to constantly seek help from an adult, because older classmates are always nearby to help and give advice. Also, the child has more opportunities to develop leadership qualities. Even the shiest child can feel like a leader among young children.

Older children begin to take care of the younger ones, they feel more competent and responsible. For example, in the 3-6 class, children can show some presentations to their younger friends, reinforcing previously learned material even better, as well as trying themselves as teachers. 

All children develop at their own pace. In a class of different ages, a child will not feel insecure or lagging behind the program, because all children are at different stages of development. In a class of different ages, the child actively participates in his learning, step by step approaching more difficult activities. Thus, a love of learning develops.
