Morningside Montessori is the first elementary in Cyprus to follow the Montessori Method, as well as the first trilingual (English, Greek and Turkish) school on the island, that started operation in September 2017.
Their learning environment, which is not bound within the classroom, is hands-on and child-directed. We aim to educate the whole child through a comprehensive Montessori education that cultivates outdoor learning, self-directed action, flexible thinking, creativity, and non-standardized models of problem-solving.
We believe that we must embrace each other with empathy, in order to promote a culture of peace and understanding. It is for this reason that it is imperative to learn and understand each other’s language. In order to bring the two larger communities of the island of Cyprus together, both Greek and Turkish are taught to students. The main language of instruction is English.
