Who Owns Modern Montessori School?

Modern Montessori School was founded in 2005 as a premium school offering authentic Montessori education. The school was established to provide a high-quality Montessori educational experience for students from early childhood through secondary school, drawing on the educational philosophy developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 20th century.

The Montessori method, developed by Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori beginning in 1907, is one of the world's most widely recognized and practiced alternative educational philosophies. The method is based on the observation that children learn most effectively when they are given freedom to explore and learn at their own pace within a carefully prepared environment that provides appropriate materials and activities for their developmental stage. Montessori education emphasizes child-centered learning, hands-on exploration, mixed-age classrooms, and the development of intrinsic motivation and self-discipline rather than external rewards and punishments.

Modern Montessori School was founded to offer this distinctive educational approach in a premium school setting, combining authentic Montessori methodology with high-quality facilities, qualified Montessori-trained teachers, and a comprehensive curriculum that extends from early childhood through secondary school. The school's name reflects its commitment to applying the Montessori method in a contemporary context, adapting the approach to meet the needs of students in the modern world while preserving the core principles of Montessori education.

Over its first two decades, Modern Montessori School developed a reputation for authentic Montessori education, attracting families who sought an alternative to traditional academic education and who valued the Montessori method's emphasis on child-centered learning, individual development, and intrinsic motivation. The school built a community of students, families, and educators committed to the Montessori philosophy.

In 2024, Inspired Education Group welcomed Modern Montessori School to its global portfolio of premium private schools. The acquisition represented an expansion of Inspired's educational offerings to include Montessori methodology, complementing the range of curricula and educational approaches offered across Inspired's global network of more than 125 schools. Inspired's philosophy of preserving each school's individual identity and local character while providing access to global resources aligns well with the Montessori tradition of respecting each school's community and educational approach.

Under Inspired's ownership, Modern Montessori School gains access to the company's global educational resources, teacher professional development programs, and the broader Inspired network of schools. Inspired's involvement provides the school with additional resources for facility development, curriculum support, and operational best practices, while the school maintains its commitment to authentic Montessori methodology.
