Our Montessori classroom

Our first Montessori classroom is a two level building comprising a lower level science learning area, kitchen, child sized bathroom, Masonry stove and stairway up to the next level.

School building at The Troutbeck School

The whole building has been designed with learning in mind and the upper level is lined with shelving holding the materials and equipment currently in use by the class and teacher. Driven by the syllabus the teacher will change the content of the workstations to match the coursework as the class progresses though the curriculum.

We bring subjects alive

Overlooking the lake the classroom must welcome children and encourage them to learn. It should be warm, clean and appealing, with room to move around – as shown in our picture below.

Here your child learns under the supervision of the graduate teacher who only has 11 other children to look after.
