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.

#MayfieldThursdays
 
Our students joyfully celebrated Family Literacy Day on Tuesday with the featured book Salma the Syrian Chef. Inspired by the story, students worked together to prepare and enjoy their own delicious Foul Shami.
 
This hands-on experience supported storytelling, language development, memory-building, cultural sharing, and a strong sense of belonging. Students discussed the ingredients, explored the cultural background of the dish, and sequenced the steps of the recipe—all while collaborating as a team. Bringing both classrooms together for this shared experience made the celebration even more meaningful.
 
How did your family celebrate Family Literacy Day?

Yesterday, students from our Aspen and Birch classrooms enjoyed a special visit from Saskatchewan Roughriders Wide Receiver, Dhel Duncan-Busby, who spent time reading a book aloud and talking with them about the importance of literacy, teamwork, and perseverance.
 
This special visit created an engaging connection between learning and real-life role models, inspiring students to value reading while also seeing how dedication and positive choices extend beyond the classroom and into the wider community.
 
Big thank you to Dhel, and the Saskatchewan Roughriders Foundation, for providing this fun opportunity for our students!

What a GREAT #montessorimonday! 

Our friends at the Pasqua Campus this morning were working with the Sensorial Materials! The Sensorial Materials in the Montessori Pre-Primary Classroom help children build their senses and develop skills like classification, comparison, discrimination, vocabulary, and focused attention 🤯! 

The best part of the Pre-Primary classroom happens when asked to explain what they built; which they promptly informed our teachers, an airport! So much amazing creativity, care, and attention in the Sensorial area today! Great work young learners!

Hello & Happy New Year from #MayfieldThursdays!
 
Lately, our Birch classroom has been delighted in discovering how animals adapt to winter’s chilly changes. Through stories, experiments and hands-on activities, they have been learning how some animals grow thicker fur, others migrate to warmer places, and some curl up to hibernate until spring.
 
Exploring winter habitats sparks curiosity, builds early science skills, and helps the students understand the rhythms of nature—all while fostering empathy for the animals that share our world.
