What families say about Natura Montessori School
Real experiences shared by parents in our community and on independent school directories.
Our child felt welcomed, understood and intellectually stimulated from the beginning. Natura gave him confidence and helped him overcome his fears.
The combination of Montessori, Forest School, a beautiful natural setting and everyday English has made Natura an exceptional experience for our family.
We have seen remarkable growth in our son’s independence. He loves his routine, the guides, the generous natural spaces and his weekly forest day.
We have been part of Escuela Natura for four years, and we are deeply grateful for the school, the guides, and the beautiful, inclusive community made up of families from all around the world.
The more grateful we are, the more beauty we see:
Thanks Natura for such a historic enclave. It is a rare privilege to have a school located in a traditional catalan house fully surrounded by nature.
Thanks Natura for the interiors. They are simply decorated, yet full of natural charm.
Thanks Natura for the extra-large, high-ceiled classrooms. They facilitate that close relationship that exists between movement and learning.
Thanks Natura for understanding that one does not necessarily learn better by sitting between table and chair.
Thanks Natura for being aware of the benefits of active learning.
Thanks Natura for choosing an alternative education, but not just any. Maria Montessori’s was so ahead of her time...
Thanks Natura for your well selected guides — kids adore them. They deserve a whole chapter apart...
Thanks Natura for rather than teaching kids lessons, guiding them in developing love for learning through self-motivation.
Thanks Natura for the wealth of materials available so as to learn-by-doing. And for all the hand-made wooden furniture that displays them.
Thanks Natura for offering an individualized approach where children learn at their own pace.
Thanks Natura for developing children’s autonomy without forcing it.
Thanks Natura for making nature a classroom. We have heard of the myriad benefits it brings so many times...
Thanks Natura for the Bushcraft and Forest School. In our politically agitated world, survival and self-sufficiency skills seem a must.
Thanks Natura for exposing children to multilingualism in a way learning-without-realising happens.
Thanks Natura for the emphasis placed in developing healthy eating habits. And for the ecologic, proximity products used in the meals.
Thanks Natura for that multicultural, international environment where local and foreign kids coexist.
Thanks Natura for existing, our kid made such a change...
Natura, THANKS!
