The Grove SchoolHours Of Operation: 8.00am - 2.00pm About the School: The Grove School is a Nursery/Primary institution. At the Nursery level, Montessori principles of education are applied as much as possible in areas that complement our National Curriculum. The Montessori principles enable a child to develop fully his/her natural potentials, all the five senses, as well as develop his/her social interaction with others. Therefore the classroom environment is specially designed to meet this need. There is a one to one interaction between teacher and child thereby creating a perfect opportunity for the teacher to observe and respond to the needs of each child, while directing the whole group. The objective is not transmission of knowledge for its own sake, but rather the development of learning skills as a resource which the child will utilize in mastering his environment as well as develop physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually. At the Primary level, the ultimate goal is to ensure success at entrance examinations to both public and private secondary schools. At this stage we try to equip each child with tools that will make them able to face the challenging demands of a rapidly changing world, where only the strong survive.
