The CJ Montessori Foundation: Where Brilliance Begins

At CJ Schools, we believe that the first six years of life are not just for "care"—they are for construction. Our Montessori Pre-school program is widely regarded as our strongest curriculum, serving as the engine room that powers the academic excellence seen in our Primary and High School levels.

We do not simply teach children; we ignite their natural desire to learn. By the time a child graduates from our Kindergarten (KG), they are not just ready for Primary school—they are often years ahead in their cognitive, social, and emotional development.

The Journey of Discovery

🍼 Babies & Infants
(The Nest)

Focus: Trust, Comfort, and Sensory Awakening. We provide a calm, home-like environment focusing on gross motor skills and sensory experiences that build neural pathways.

🧸 Playgroup
(Toddlers)

Focus: "I Can Do It Myself!" We channel limitless energy into Language Explosion, Motor Skills, and Self-Care, fostering profound self-confidence.

🎨 Nursery 1 & 2
(The Conscious Worker)

Focus: Order & Concentration. Children enter the "Prepared Environment," using specific materials that are powerful learning tools to work independently.

🎓 Kindergarten
(The Capstone Year)

Focus: Leadership & Advanced Academics. Our KG students are reading, performing complex math, and understanding geography. They graduate ready to dominate.

The 5 Pillars of Our Montessori Advantage

1. Practical Life

Activities like pouring and buttoning develop focus and fine motor skills. Result: A disciplined, self-driven child.

2. Sensorial Education

Learning to discriminate size, color, shape, and sound. Result: Sharpened intellect and observation.

3. Mathematics

Using beads and rods to physically "hold" quantities. They don't just memorize 2+2=4; they see it.

4. Language

Using "Sandpaper Letters" to teach writing before reading. Result: Explosive reading skills by KG.

5. Cultural Studies

Introduction to landforms, animals, maps, and botany. Result: A global citizen who understands their place in the universe.

Why CJ Graduates Are Different

Parents often ask why our KG graduates seem "more intelligent." It is because they have learned how to learn.

  • They take initiative.
  • They have longer attention spans.
  • They treat learning as a joy, not a chore.

However, at CJ Schools, we do not merely "teach to the test." We enhance this curriculum with Montessori methodology.
