Our School

Nestled in the leafy grounds of Fig Tree Pocket, wrapped by Brisbane River, Brisbane Montessori School began its journey in 1984 with just five children, one dedicated volunteer teacher, and a humble verandah as their first classroom. From these modest beginnings, our school has flourished into one of Australia's largest Montessori institutions, offering a dynamic, child-centered education for students from 15 months to 16 years. With exciting plans underway to establish a senior school by 2026, we continue to grow, innovate, and inspire a love of lifelong learning.

We believe that the world needs curious, creative, compassionate, global thinkers. That is why our vision is to be a school for families committed to an excellent education in a Montessori environment. More information about our school can be found at
