Primary school – Montessoriskola i Lund
Our primary school is based on Maria Montessori’s educational philosophy and harnesses the students’ natural curiosity and desire to learn. We view diversity and language as assets, and the English language runs as a common thread through all our activities.
Lingua Montessori is a Montessori school in Lund for students from preschool class to grade 6. Here, students of different ages learn together, with attentive teachers and the space to find their own path in learning.
Primary school in Lund with Montessori pedagogy
At our primary school in Lund, students follow the Swedish curriculum. Montessori pedagogy is based on the premise that children have a natural desire to learn, explore, and understand the world around them.
The teaching combines freedom with clear boundaries. Students gradually take greater responsibility for their work and learn to plan, carry out, and complete tasks. The teacher is always close at hand to provide guidance, challenges, and support tailored to the student’s needs.
A smaller school where everyone is seen
Lingua Montessori School has around 150 students in grades F through 6. The students attend mixed-age classes with a maximum of 20 students per class. This creates favorable conditions for a sense of community and ensures that every student is seen.
All our teachers are certified, and together they cover the subjects required by the curriculum. Lingua Montessori complies with the Swedish Education Act and the national curriculum, and the school is tuition-free. Guardians only pay for a place in the after-school care program, if applicable.
Mixed-age classes where students learn from each other
Mixed-age classes are a central part of the education at our Montessori school. We believe that students develop at their own pace and learn best in a stimulating and social environment.
Younger students gain role models and guidance from older classmates. Older students act as mentors to the younger ones, strengthening their own knowledge and leadership skills, while the younger students receive inspiration and guidance. This interaction fosters a sense of community and responsibility.
Mixed-age grouping allows room for individual development
The mix of ages allows students to develop in different ways and at different paces. This means, among other things, that:
- Students can work at different levels regardless of age.
- Each student is allowed to develop at their own pace, with time to consolidate knowledge or the opportunity to move forward.
- The focus shifts to one’s own development rather than comparisons with others.
- Students collaborate across age groups, which strengthens communication skills and understanding of others’ differing circumstances.
Learning with freedom and responsibility
At Lingua Montessori, instruction is individualized with the aim of giving every student the right conditions to advance in their learning. Freedom is a key part of the Montessori method, but it always goes hand in hand with responsibility.
Students are therefore trained to make choices, plan their work, and take responsibility for their own learning process within clear frameworks. Teachers establish clear frameworks for instruction, allowing students to use concrete materials to explore and understand various subjects.
A Montessori school that educates global citizens
Maria Montessori emphasized the importance of raising children to be global citizens who understand humanity and take responsibility for the world. Through education that fosters peace, cultural understanding, and respect for diversity, students can develop empathy and a sense of responsibility for the world.
We value collaboration, respect, and a sense of belonging to a global community, which provide the tools to become reflective and engaged global citizens. Education should prepare students to become conscious and active fellow human beings who contribute to creating a better world for all.
Language and diversity enrich the school
At Lingua Montessori, we view languages and cultural experiences as an asset. Our staff speaks around 25 different languages, and English is a natural part of the school environment.
Our ambition is for students to leave school with both knowledge and an understanding of their role in a larger context. Education helps students see their place in the universe and understand how all life is interconnected, inspiring them to contribute to a sustainable and peaceful future.
