Bannockburn Independent School Reviews

Bannockburn Independent School is founded in Montessori, and hews close to the spirit of the method and its fundamental principles. There is an abiding attention to creating a supportive, student-centric environment, one that can stimulate and build on children’s curiosity. That said, Bannockburn has introduced a few adaptations as well, such as a lower teacher-to-student ratio than one might expect to see in a Montessori classroom. Such changes are welcomed by families looking for individualized education. The school is, furthermore, a very much an expression of the surrounding community, as a labour of love that began in 1993 with the initiative of local parents and educators. The life of the school is shaped by an active and robust parents’ association and a proud community spirit. So, yes, the school has a strong Montessori program, though there is also a clear Bannockburn identity, one that nicely reflects the community that it serves.
