About Lisbon Montessori School
LMS offers holistic Montessori education, which orients the student toward the path of independent learning endevours. Students work individually or in small groups and are guided through their choices of resources and presentations. LMS classrooms have an abundance of a wide range of Montesori learning materials, which cover most areas of life and science: the materials are available to students at all times, and a student may choose to work with a particular activity to which they have already been presented, this includes science experiments. Montessori education is preparation for life as an aid to life.

Through holistic Montessori education, paying attention to the student's psychological needs. If a child works with a specialist who is hired by the family they may work with the child in the environment or utilise another space within the school.
Montessori teachers are qualified to work with children with some special learning needs; however, we ask that the family carries out a complex evaluation of the child's learning needs in a developmental centre. Admission is usually granted to very young students with special needs, up to age three-and-a-half or four years.
When the child joins us at the age of 3 we provide all the necessary support within our curriculum, no extra support is considered necessary. Starting at age 4&1/2 applicants must be fluent in English as we do not run an ELL program.
