ABOUT MONTESSORI SCHOOL OF REGINA

The Montessori School of Regina, Inc., established in 1971, is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to child-centered learning that helps each student reach their potential. We offer Pre-Primary Programs that operate as licensed childcare facilities regulated by the Ministry of Early Years in Saskatchewan, serving children aged 2.6 to 5 years across three campuses in Regina. Our Elementary Programs for students in Grades 1 to 8 function as a Qualified Independent School in the south end of Regina. As an alternative school, the Montessori School of Regina strives to create a respectful and peaceful environment where students can nurture their unique talents and develop a foundation for lifelong independent learning.

Mission

The Montessori School of Regina, Inc., strives to create a respectful, peaceful Montessori community, where students can nurture and grow their unique talents and develop a foundation for lifelong, independent learning.

Vision

To make our school as the community’s choice for Montessori learning experience in Regina.

At Montessori School of Regina, we embrace four core values that shape our community and guide our approach to education:

Independence

Encouraging self-directed learning and fostering confidence in children to make their own choices.

Education

Providing a holistic, child-centered environment that nurtures intellectual, social, and emotional growth.

Diversity

Celebrating the uniqueness of every individual and building a community that values inclusivity and cultural richness.

Respect

Promoting kindness, empathy, and mutual respect in all interactions, creating a harmonious learning environment. These values reflect our commitment to nurturing well-rounded, compassionate individuals.

PROGRAMS

Maria Montessori said, “Free the child’s potential, and you will transform him into the world.” At Montessori School of Regina, we believe in holistic education that fosters independence, diversity, and respect. We believe in the child’s natural ability to wonder and explore the World around them.  Providing an educational experience where every child can develop who they were made to be!

PRE-PRIMARY

Our Pre-Primary programs, starting at the age of 2.6 years, are offered at our three campuses, which are licensed childcare facilities under the Ministry of Early Years: Pasqua campus (3515 Pasqua St.), Hillsdale campus (3913 Hillsdale St.), and Mayfield campus (101 Mayfield Rd.). We also cater to kindergarten-age children, offering the program five days a week in accordance with the school calendar at each campus.

Under the direction of a Montessori head educator and an educational assistant, the children explore Montessori areas: Practical Life, Sensorial, Cultural/Science, Math, and Language.

The Pre-Primary program is individualized to meet the unique needs of every student, providing them with free choice and movement throughout the classroom. Our program offers Montessori materials, engaging activities, vibrant art projects for creativity and exploration,and a music program once a week. We believe in the importance ofdeveloping the whole child: physical, cognitive, social, spiritual, andcreative.

ELEMENTARY

Our Elementary program is offered from grades 1 to 8. The Elementary Program is divided into three multi-grade classrooms – Lower Elementary (grades 1-2), Middle Elementary (grades 3-5), and Senior Elementary (grades 6-8). Our elementary programs are based on Dr. Maria Montessori’s observations on the second plane of development. During this stage of growth, students aged six to twelve are innately learning socialization, reasoning, peer identity, and moral development.

By following the Saskatchewan Curriculum and Guidelines, students engage in a personalized learning experience that accommodates their unique needs and interests. The Montessori approach encourages independence, choice, and collaborative learning, promoting the development of the whole child through thematic exploration and cosmic education. Progress is monitored through regular report cards and parent-teacher interviews, ensuring open communication about each child’s development.

This week, our campus has been learning how to be sun smart! We talked about the importance of wearing hats, applying sunscreen, and drinking plenty of water to keep our bodies safe and healthy while we play outside. Through stories, discussions, art, and daily routines, the students are building independence by taking responsibility for protecting themselves in the sunshine. We are proud of how our little learners are practicing healthy habits and caring for their bodies each day! ☀️🧢
 
Remember your 5 S’s and check out sunsense.ca for some great information on sun safety!

Nomenclature Cards are a foundational Language material used to build vocabulary and introduce scientific classification. Children use these cards to internalize information through a process of matching and visual discrimination. 

There are three different types of cards - the control card, the picture card, and the label card. 
There are many key benefits to this Montessori lesson including: vocabulary & literacy, classification skills, independent learning, and visual discrimination.

This week our Middle Elementary class performed with the Regina Symphony Orchestra at the Conexus Arts Centre! 🎼🎶🪈

Over the last several months, our grade 3-5s participated in the Link Up: The Orchestra Rocks program with schools from Regina and the surrounding area!  During their art classes, students learned how to play recorders, sing, and dance along to a wide variety of famous songs that were specifically selected for this program! Some songs were from ballets and operas. Some were more modern and others were over 500 years old. One was even in Latin! The students worked so hard to prepare these pieces and they were so excited to perform them in a concert with the RSO! 

Our students did such an amazing job, and we had so much fun performing! We also learned a lot about music theory, instruments, and the orchestra! 

Thank you to the Regina Symphony Orchestra for such an amazing program! We can’t wait until next year!

For #HillsdaleTuesdays, our Oak classroom has been busy learning hands-on with their sunflower project! The students planted sunflower seeds, talked about what plants need to grow (sun, water, soil, care), and started a plant diary to track their progress. 🌱 

Right now, they’re seeing sprouting stems, fresh new leaves, and roots quietly beginning their work below the soil 👀🌿 Safe to say - they’re growing quickly!!

It’s full of excitement as they continue watching the sunflowers grow and change each week 🌻💛
