Curriculum

Our Curriculum
Maria Montessori International School takes pride in its integrative, outcome-based and socially relevant curriculum which is especially designed to encourage learners to contribute to local and global community development. The academic programs are aligned with the institutional goals of MMIS.

It also provides a learning environment that caters to the needs of the 21st century learners. It aims that the integrative, outcome-based and socially relevant curriculum will unfold the students to become academically excellent, virtuous, independent, responsible, and servant leaders as they contribute towards social transformation.
Known for being the pioneer in providing Montessori Education in Cebu City, the Preschool Department provides a “sensorial curriculum” where children can unfold and discover themselves in a “prepared environment”. The classroom has defined areas for Practical Life, Sensorial, Reading and Language, Mathematics and Cultural. It also takes into consideration the holistic development of each child. With its Caring and Nurturing nature, activities have been designed and embedded in the Preschool Curriculum to cater to each child’s Multiple Intelligence and provide them an avenue for self-expression and creativity.
The Basic Education program in the Primary and Secondary levels are imbued with the Montessori philosophy of developing the whole child. Its Mission across all levels and departments is to unfold diverse learners through a curriculum that is integrative, outcome based and socially relevant. Curricular and extracurricular activities are provided to hone aesthetic skills and abilities which are innate in the children.
