The Hills Montessori School has been operating in the Adelaide Hills for forty-five years, offering educational programs based on the Montessori philosophy. With a focus on nurturing children’s curiosity and fostering respect for self, others, and the environment, the school provides a comprehensive curriculum approved by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA). The school’s two campuses, Yultiwirra primary campus in Aldgate and Wairoa Middle School campus in Stirling, cater to children and young people from birth to 15 years of age through a range of programs and cycles.
As a parent-teacher run school community, The Hills Montessori School emphasizes active family participation in shaping the school’s ethos. This collaborative effort creates a supportive environment where collective wisdom and shared goals enrich the educational journey for all involved. The school’s commitment to the Montessori principles of education, including self-respect, respect for others, and respect for the environment, aims to instill a love of learning and a sense of community responsibility in students.
With a focus on providing a secure, happy, and non-competitive learning environment, The Hills Montessori School aims to support students in becoming self-motivated learners who are prepared to embrace the future with confidence. By offering programs from birth to Year 9, the school ensures that students can learn at their own pace and develop skills appropriate to their level of development. Through a rich educational experience grounded in the Montessori philosophy, the school has been dedicated to empowering students for over four decades.
