Rockingham Montessori School is an independent school near the ocean in Rockingham, Western Australia. We are committed to Montessori philosophy and practice. Between our Infant Toddler Program (playgroup), Primary School and Adolescent Program, we provide a genuine Montessori education experience for around 250 children and young people, from 12 months to 18 years of age. Our mission is to provide a Montessori environment in which the needs of the whole child are met in a nurturing, safe and caring school, by encouraging independence, mutual respect and self-discipline so that students are prepared to take their place in the world. Our values are independence, respect and self-discipline. Celebrating our ‘place’ and our history, our classes are named after ocean creatures, from the little penguins and sealions that live on or near Penguin Island, near the site of the original School, to the wobbegongs, jellyfish, starfish, turtles and dolphins regulary seen at our local Rockingham Beach, to the more fanciful, dramatic and unique seahorses, mantarays, orcas, narwhals, crocodilos and dugongs.
