ABOUT MONTESSORI SCHOOL OF REGINA

The Montessori School of Regina, Inc., established in 1971, is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to child-centered learning that helps each student reach their potential. We offer Pre-Primary Programs that operate as licensed childcare facilities regulated by the Ministry of Early Years in Saskatchewan, serving children aged 2.6 to 5 years across three campuses in Regina. Our Elementary Programs for students in Grades 1 to 8 function as a Qualified Independent School in the south end of Regina. As an alternative school, the Montessori School of Regina strives to create a respectful and peaceful environment where students can nurture their unique talents and develop a foundation for lifelong independent learning.

Mission

The Montessori School of Regina, Inc., strives to create a respectful, peaceful Montessori community, where students can nurture and grow their unique talents and develop a foundation for lifelong, independent learning.

Vision

To make our school as the community’s choice for Montessori learning experience in Regina.

At Montessori School of Regina, we embrace four core values that shape our community and guide our approach to education:

Independence

Encouraging self-directed learning and fostering confidence in children to make their own choices.

Education

Providing a holistic, child-centered environment that nurtures intellectual, social, and emotional growth.

Diversity

Celebrating the uniqueness of every individual and building a community that values inclusivity and cultural richness.

Respect

Promoting kindness, empathy, and mutual respect in all interactions, creating a harmonious learning environment. These values reflect our commitment to nurturing well-rounded, compassionate individuals.

PROGRAMS

Maria Montessori said, “Free the child’s potential, and you will transform him into the world.” At Montessori School of Regina, we believe in holistic education that fosters independence, diversity, and respect. We believe in the child’s natural ability to wonder and explore the World around them.  Providing an educational experience where every child can develop who they were made to be!

PRE-PRIMARY

Our Pre-Primary programs, starting at the age of 2.6 years, are offered at our three campuses, which are licensed childcare facilities under the Ministry of Early Years: Pasqua campus (3515 Pasqua St.), Hillsdale campus (3913 Hillsdale St.), and Mayfield campus (101 Mayfield Rd.). We also cater to kindergarten-age children, offering the program five days a week in accordance with the school calendar at each campus.

Under the direction of a Montessori head educator and an educational assistant, the children explore Montessori areas: Practical Life, Sensorial, Cultural/Science, Math, and Language.

The Pre-Primary program is individualized to meet the unique needs of every student, providing them with free choice and movement throughout the classroom. Our program offers Montessori materials, engaging activities, vibrant art projects for creativity and exploration,and a music program once a week. We believe in the importance ofdeveloping the whole child: physical, cognitive, social, spiritual, andcreative.

ELEMENTARY

Our Elementary program is offered from grades 1 to 8. The Elementary Program is divided into three multi-grade classrooms – Lower Elementary (grades 1-2), Middle Elementary (grades 3-5), and Senior Elementary (grades 6-8). Our elementary programs are based on Dr. Maria Montessori’s observations on the second plane of development. During this stage of growth, students aged six to twelve are innately learning socialization, reasoning, peer identity, and moral development.

By following the Saskatchewan Curriculum and Guidelines, students engage in a personalized learning experience that accommodates their unique needs and interests. The Montessori approach encourages independence, choice, and collaborative learning, promoting the development of the whole child through thematic exploration and cosmic education. Progress is monitored through regular report cards and parent-teacher interviews, ensuring open communication about each child’s development.

Our #MayfieldThursdays looks a little different this week!
 
We wanted to give a big thank you shout out to Erika and Neil from @trenchfitness for a morning of Get Fit fun with our campus!
 
Students enjoyed learning about how to properly warm up, challenge themselves in an obstacle course and test their teamwork skills with a friendly game of tug of war.
 
We look forward to welcoming them back in the spring for more physical activity fun!

For our #MontessoriMondays, here’s a little look back at yesterday’s Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure! 🎀💗

Shoutout to our MSR staff who came out to walk and run, the families we spotted along the way, and everyone who donated to support breast cancer research and programs.

And a little extra win for MSR, we received the School Team Challenge Award for our fundraising efforts! 

As educators, we know learning goes beyond the classroom. Showing up for our community and supporting a good cause is one way we can lead by example for our students.

We’re also celebrating the breast cancer warriors, survivors, and the families and loved ones cheering them on every step of the way.

Huge kudos to the organizers and volunteers for such a fun and meaningful event!

It’s been over a week since our MSR staff came together last Friday for a PD opportunity presented by Dr. Michael Cappello from the Faculty of Education at the University of Regina entitled, “Considering the Possibilities of Costly Reconciliation: A Conversation.”
 
As educators, we recognize our responsibility to continue learning about our shared history and reconciliation so that the lessons and conversations we bring into our classrooms are informed, respectful, accurate, and meaningful.
 
The key points of the presentation were learning about the experiences of residential schools through photos and the stories behind them, defining reconciliation through our own understanding, and reflecting on how we can better live out reconciliation in our everyday lives and actions.
 
Dr. Michael is also one of our MSR parents, and we are grateful to be building a community where our families are actively helping us strengthen the intentional education we provide to our students.
 
It was a wonderful opportunity for learning, growth, and conversation. Thank you so much to Dr. Michael Cappello for sharing his knowledge with our MSR Team.
 
May we continue to listen, learn, and act—not only today, but every day—as we work toward meaningful reconciliation.

🧡Honouring Truth & Reconciliation🧡
In the Montessori environment, we nurture respect, empathy, and a deep sense of belonging. Through stories, meaningful experiences, and connection, children begin to understand that every person’s story and identity matters.
As we honour Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we remember the children, families, and Survivors impacted by residential schools. We also reflect on our role in nurturing compassionate, respectful, and inclusive young learners.
Every child matters. Every voice matters. 🧡

The movable alphabet is a hands-on language material used to teach children spelling and word building! You’ll notice the consonants are traditionally red and the vowels are blue to help our students easily distinguish between them!

This week in MSR Elementary, an ambassador from the Terry Fox foundation visited our school to share Terry Fox’s life and legacy with our students. We also learned about how important it is to come together to raise money for cancer research and all of the good that it can do for people in Canada. 

We will be participating in the Terry Fox School Walk on Monday and will do our part to continue Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope! 👟
