design philosophy

"In designing each location, core elements of Maria Montessori’s method have been considered and rooted into the design. These elements include Simplicity, Minimalism, Organization, Accessibility, Security and Silence." – Nicholls and Associates

Angus Valley Montessori Schools (AVMS) provide your children with a safe and nurturing environment where they receive the best possible foundation so that they are inspired for a lifetime of learning, independence and achievement.

Angus Valley Montessori schools set out to prepare children for a lifetime of learning and provide valuable life lessons that will serve them well beyond their primary years. The physical learning environment plays a significant role in this scientific schooling approach, ensuring the Montessori teachings can be fully realized.

Simplicity and minimalism are represented by natural and muted colours, as they create a sense of calm. Light wood tones and minimal yet intentional accents are thoughtfully incorporated in each area. A concise definition of Biophilic Design is the love of life in nature. Spaces such as ours, where these practices are applied, positively impact the well-being of both children and adults who spend time in them.
