The Montessori Vacation School offers multiple fun learning activities that sharpen the senses and life experiences of girls and boys ages 3-7 over the period of vacations.
Parents find in our Vacation School a constructive alternative where children are able to enjoy activities that differ from the daily academic routines. Students make good use of their free time and get to socialize with peers through fun activities that takes place in a different environment from the traditional classroom.
The program consists of artistic and cultural activities, arts and crafts, motor activities, sensory experiences, water activities, culinary arts, and field trips.
