Aaranya International School of Montessori

“Children and seeds are powerful tools to nurture humanity and peace.”

“Aaranya International School of Montessori” is a unique educational setting where our rich cultural traditions are combined with global Montessori principles. At Aaranya, we think that using practical, child-centered approaches can help each child develop their innate curiosity and love of learning. Our curriculum combines traditional Montessori teachings with elements of the rich Tamil heritage, including language, art, and regional customs. This combination guarantees that children grow with a profound understanding of their cultural heritage in addition to developing critical academic and life skills.

Learning is a comprehensive process that fosters independence, creativity, and a sense of community, preparing children to thrive in a global world while staying connected to their heritage.

Montessori the Tamil Way

At Aaranya Montessori School, we blend the timeless Montessori approach with the vibrant cultural heritage of Tamil Nadu. Children explore Tamil folklore, traditional songs, local flora and crafts, seamlessly integrating regional customs, language, and arts into daily learning activities.

They also participate in cultural events and festivals that instill values of gratitude, respect, and community. Montessori materials with regional themes further enrich their learning experience.

This unique integration nurtures a sense of pride and belonging, empowering children to embrace both their cultural and global identities as they grow.

Dr. Maria Montessori

About Maria Montessori

Dr. Maria Montessori (1870–1952) was an Italian physician and educator, renowned for pioneering an innovative approach to childhood education. As one of Italy’s first female doctors, she combined her medical insights with a deep respect for the natural development of children.

Her unique philosophy, now known as the Montessori Method, emphasizes hands-on, child-centered learning, fostering independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love for learning. Today, Montessori schools around the world carry forward her legacy, creating environments where children can thrive at their own pace, building both knowledge and character.
