Discovering Trees: From Roots to Leaves!
Children explore the parts of a tree using picture cards, observe the trees in the school garden, and draw the one they liked best.
Sewing and Embroidery in Children's House
A Children's House class project born from the students' own interest in sewing and embroidery — developing fine motor skills, patience, and personal expression along the way.
May in Varo
Finished projects, daily spelling practice, a surprise visit from baby chicks, a class concert, and a big farewell for Varo's oldest as they move on to Upper Primary.
What Does It Really Mean to Be Child-Centred?
What being 'child-centred' really means day to day at BMS — which decisions belong to the child, which belong to the adults, and why assessment only happens when the child is ready.
Belonging
How BMS builds a genuine sense of community — through mixed-age classrooms, shared responsibilities, valorisation in Secondary, and a family culture that reaches well beyond the school gates.
Inspections and Accreditations
A rundown of our recent inspections — NEASC, PGCM, and even animal welfare services — and what each accreditation means for your child's education.
Peace
How Non-Violent Communication and the Montessori prepared environment make peace an everyday practice for children, not just a value we talk about.
Responsibility
Part of our series on values: how Montessori builds responsibility not through rules or rewards, but through real, daily trust — and why it's inseparable from freedom.
A note on Fantasy in Young Children's Lives
Our Infant Community guides explain the Montessori view on fantasy versus imagination — and why we prefer to offer real, authentic experiences to under-sixes rather than fantasy.
Festive Gifts the Montessori Way
A Montessori look at Christmas gifts — why quality beats quantity, why experiences matter as much as toys, and how to gift trust to a teenager.
Non-Violent Communication
Why Non-Violent Communication is a focus for the whole BMS team this year, and how it helps build a classroom culture of cooperation, respect, and compassion.
BMS goes to the MMUN
Four Upper Primary students and two teachers travelled to Rome for the Montessori Model United Nations, representing India and presenting research on mental health and climate change to the world.
