Description of the Project

We are a small, personal Montessori school in a rural setting. Children at our school learn from Grade 1 to Grade 6. Currently, 17 children attend our school. Two Montessori teachers work at our school. Our after-school care program is also run by two educators. In addition, there is a school director.

The students are divided into two classes. Primaria 1 includes Grades 1 to 3, and Primaria 2 includes Grades 4 to 6. Our school day consists of learning time, community projects, and cooking lessons. We enjoy going on excursions, visiting local businesses and museums in the surrounding area, and occasionally taking the train to Vienna.

Information about our school can be found on our website: Montessori Dorfschule MuWi

Our school is located in a rural community in Lower Austria. We organize festivals and celebrations for children from the community and the surrounding area. We offer an alternative school system for families outside the larger cities.
