Bilingual Montessori school in Rivas-Vaciamadrid (Madrid) for children from 18 months to 9 years, with three age-based environments.
Montessori Rivas is a school in Rivas-Vaciamadrid (Madrid) working with children from 18 months to 9 years. Its project is based on Montessori pedagogy and positive discipline, with prepared environments intended to support autonomy, concentration and emotional wellbeing.
The school runs three age-based environments: Toddler Community (18 months-3 years), Children's House (3-6 years) and Taller I (6-9 years). In the Children's House, work starts from practical life and the sensorial area and moves towards Language and Mathematics with Montessori materials. In Taller I the guiding thread is Cosmic Education and the Great Stories, alongside Language, Mathematics and Geometry, Biology, Geography, History, Music and Art, plus Going Out trips. Groups are small: up to 8 children in the Toddler Community, 12 to 14 in the Children's House and up to 18 in Taller I.
It is a bilingual center where English is integrated into daily routines, play, and interactions; the school emphasizes that the language is acquired naturally, without direct instruction. Facilities include a psychomotor activity room accessible independently during work periods, an outdoor playground used daily regardless of the weather, a coworking space for families, and a catering service.
Additionally, the school organizes Montessori workshops for families and children. To get to know the school, you can attend an open house or request a visit; the process proceeds with a registration form and a family interview.

Authentic Montessori materials At Montessori Rivas American School, our environments are carefully prepared with authentic, complete Montessori materials appropriate for each stage of development. Materials are organized by curriculum area in an orderly and accessible way, allowing children to work independently and progress at their own pace. We pay close attention not only to the quality and authenticity of the materials, but also to their presentation, sequence, and availability within the prepared environment, in accordance with Montessori principles.
-
No rewards or punishments as a tool At Montessori Rivas American School, we understand discipline as a process of developing self-regulation, responsibility, and respect for oneself, others, and the environment. We do not use rewards or punishments as educational tools. We establish clear, firm, and respectful boundaries, supporting each child according to their stage of development and helping them understand the natural and logical consequences of their actions. Our goal is to progressively foster inner discipline based on autonomy, positive relationships, and mutual respect.
