Montessori De Manila is a preschool through high school program in Las Piñas City, Metro Manila, Philippines.
In 1986 Montessori De Manila (MDM) was first registered with the Bureau of Domestic Trade as a pre-school, the purpose of which was to offer BF Homes residents an alternative educational system where children will acquire knowledge within a prepared environment conducive to exploring and learning simultaneously. The school’s mission is to develop each and every child to his fullest potential as a person: physically, emotionally, spiritually, socially and intellectually.
The first year registered an enrolment of 110 with four class directresses and two administrative personnel. After the first Primary graduates in 1987, the quality of education was recognized in the community, making enrolment demand so encouraging that school administration had to expand capacity to accommodate more than 100% increase in enrollment for its second year.
On its third year the Elementary Department welcomed its first batch of pupils. Initially, only lower elementary was opened to accommodate transferees as well as the first Primary graduates who returned upon learning of the Grade School Department’s establishment. Every year thereafter, higher levels were added at a time as pupils were promoted to the next level. Thus, the full Elementary Course reached its completion.
By the end of its fifth year, enrolment was up 600% from its original number. The four classrooms have given way to more than 23 classrooms, with separate Music, Audiovisual, and Home Economics Livelihood Education rooms, a Laboratory, Library and Guidance Counselling Office. The school has acquired a wide array of Montessori apparatus coupled with faculty-prepared teaching aids not ordinarily found in traditional schools and many Montessori schools.
Montessori De Manila celebrated its 10th Foundation Day by constructing a new, Italian-inspired building for the Primary Department. On its 11th year of operation (SY 1997-1998), the last of the old Grade School edifices was demolished to pave way for the modern Elementary Department building.
A Computer Centre was established for the Elementary with optional classes for early computer enthusiasts in the Primary Level, computer education being part of the full Elementary and Secondary curriculum.
In 1999, Montessori De Manila established its first branch, Montessori De Manila–Davao, situated in the district of Bangkal, MDM–Davao is a stone’s throw away from Ateneo de Davao campus. It offers the complete Primary Program.
