We are the only Montessori school world wide where children in years 11 -12 can choose to do the two year International Baccalaureate course which gives entry into over 75 Universities in 60 countries. The Beehive Montessori School comenced in 1977. It is situated on the beachfront at Leighton Beach and now has an enrolment of 150 students. In summer months the children make use of the beach with swimming and surfing lessons, volleyball, or just nature walks to learn about the environment. A fully integrated Special Education Unit caters for children with disabilities.
Children are able to commence at the school in the term after their third birthday.
Italian is taught throughout the school. Junior Primary classes have group music classes, whilst students in Middle and Upper Primary have the opportunity to learn the recorder with a specialist teacher. All teaching staff at The Beehive have Montessori qualifications and most also have W.A. Education Department recognised qualifications. In 1998 Rockingham Family School commenced a Montessori program for 3-6 year olds. School descriptions for this Web Page welcome.
