A Little Bit About

Brisbane Montessori School

Brisbane Montessori School (BMS) is Brisbane's only school offering an authentic Montessori education from birth to 18 years. Located in Fig Tree Pocket on the Brisbane River, we are Queensland's largest and longest-running Montessori school, founded in 1981.

The philosophy of Dr Maria Montessori underpins our mission, values and ethos, creating carefully prepared learning environments where students develop independence, curiosity, creativity and responsibility. 

Authentic Montessori materials, mixed-age classrooms and experienced Montessori teachers nurture each child's academic, social and emotional growth.

Our campus and community provide an environment where every child can thrive through:
   • a welcoming and vibrant school community
   • expansive natural green spaces that encourage exploration 
   • authentic Montessori learning materials
   • proven and innovative Montessori teaching practices
   • passionate, experienced, and supportive educators,
   • A challenging, student-centred curriculum that nurtures each child's unique potential

From early learning through to secondary school, we provide a continuous Montessori journey that supports every stage of development. 

Our Master Plan reflects our commitment to growing alongside our students while preserving the authentic Montessori principles that continue to guide us.

Acknowledging Country

Brisbane Montessori School acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands that our school resides on, the Jagera, Yuggera and Turrbal peoples, and we extend this to all Traditional Custodians across Australia. 

We pay our respect to Elders past, present, and future. We acknowledge their continuing connection to the land, air, and waterways, for they hold the memories, the knowledge, and the dreams of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.

May we walk gently and respectfully together.
