The school and its outlets are run by the coordinators and teachers who are professionally trained with at least an International Montessori Diploma and appropriate supervisory and leadership experience. They combined the montessori’s proven methods with a nurturing environment and unique materials to help the children explore, investigate, enjoy and prepare for a life time of learning and discovery. The schools are fully equipped with a wide range of Montessori apparatus supplemented by Montessori learning aids and materials.

We also organize Islamic Montessori workshops for school’s operators, teachers and individuals who are interested in adapting the method. The workshop aims to guide and motivate teachers in giving services that are dynamic, productive, visionary and creative in line with current information in their field. The school has also collaborated with the International Islamic College in compiling the course outline for the Diploma in Islamic Early Childhood Education.

IIUM Montessori received the MS ISO 9001: 2000 on 27th January 2005.

Vision
To be the first truly Islamic School in the world

Mission
To develop a Muslim generation capable of analytical and critical thinking and become Muslims by conviction and who will fulfill their role as Allah’s vicegerents.

To develop a strong and highly educated Muslim person, for whom Islam is a complete way of life. It achieves this by developing a balanced and wholesome Islamic personality whereby one’s behavior and attitude are guided through training of the spirit, intellect and emotion as well as developing a sound and healthy body.

This area includes materials extending from pre-reading and pre-writing to reading, writing and grammar activities. The classroom is a language-rich environment and the teachers help the children to develop the listening, speaking and writing strategies. The language environment is rich due to different languages including Arabic language that is related to their memorization and recitation of the holy Quran.

The understanding of languages for children also can be enhanced through the activities of story telling, songs and rhymes where sometimes the teachers tell them a story on the Sirah of Prophets. Through these activities, the children indirectly will be equipped with the examples of good values and morality that is promoted in Islam.
