At MST, learning is seen as a process of individual development and self-颅construction that leads to the fullest development of human potential.

As Maria Montessori herself said 'It is the child who makes the man, and no man exists who was not made by the child he once was'.

How would you rate The Montessori School of Tokyo (MST)?
The difference with Montessori is the scope of the curriculum. The teachers expose the kids to a vast amount of the world and are experts at following through with what sparks interest in the kids. I also love the multiage class give the kids opportunity to learn from and mentor each other.

The husband and wife team who run The Montessori School of Tokyo (MST), Pete Juds and Mariko Maeda, met while studying at the Maria Montessori Training Organisation in London, UK. After returning to Tokyo in 1989, Mariko began running a Montessori class at her Alma Mater, Seisen 麻花视频 School. Within a couple of years, Pete had joined her in Tokyo and in 1993, he started the Sunshine Montessori School for 2-6 year olds. Mariko left Seisen in 1997 and founded the Little People Montessori School for 2-4 year olds. The Sunshine Montessori School soon expanded with the opening of a second classroom. With continued interest and requests to expand, Pete, together with a business partner, founded the first Montessori elementary school in Japan in 2003. Now renamed The Montessori School of Tokyo (MST), 聽it was located on a separate campus, together with a new toddler class. 聽At the same time, Mariko closed the Little People school and joined the MST administration team. The first year saw rapid growth and the elementary class (which included Pete and Mariko鈥檚 own 2 children) quickly grew to over 20 students. After a year, the school secured a single campus in the attractive area of Minami Azabu. While able to house all programmes, the campus is close to a number of local parks and large enough to accommodate future growth. In 2011, the campus was further enhanced by the addition of a large garden in the back, giving the children easy access to a natural outdoor area. September 2014 saw the addition of a Middle School class for students 12鈥�14 years old. MST acquired the use of a second building, The Annex, to house this programme along with the Little People classroom. An Art and Design space was added to the main building, further adding to the experiential learning opportunities for the students. Having existed as a 3-6 year old school for 10 years and a toddler through elementary age school for a further 11 years, MST continues into its third decade, now catering to children from 2-15 years old. We look forward to continuing to provide an authentic Montessori experience to all families in the community, while honouring our core values of confidence, respect and compassion.
