Montessori at Matakana Primary School
Kia ora and welcome to the website of the Mahurangi Montessori Primary Trust.
We are a dedicated group of parents supporting an independent Montessori unit based at Matakana Primary School, north of Auckland.
The unit is fully integrated into the mainstream primary school. This ensures our children not only receive quality Montessori education, but also have access to wider cultural, sporting and social opportunities. Our teacher, Jane Watson, is qualified by the Association Montessori Internationale. She also spent many years as a mainstream primary teacher prior to undertaking her Montessori training.
The unit opened in February 2009 and has since doubled in size. We are currently exploring the option of a second classroom.
Look around our site to find out more about Montessori education, the background to our Trust and our children's learning journey.
