SUPPORT FOR HOME
EDUCATION FAMILIES
St Catherines' Montessori affords the opportunity for children already enrolled in a 3-6 Montessori programs to carry on with their Montessori education through Home Education with Brisbane's highest qualified Montessori educator with a PhD in Organisational Behaviour and candidate in the Masters in AMI 6-12 at UdeG. ​ St Catherines' Montessori's unique Home Education Support Program, hosted within the grounds of the St Catherine's Anglican Ministry @ Middle Park, QLD,  provides the opportunity for school aged Home Education children to experience the Montessori Great Stories and Cosmic Education, develop Practical Life Skills, expand their learning through Goings Out, Market Stalls and Micro Economies, and give back to their local community through Service opportunities. ​ Participation in the St Catherines' Montessori Home Education Support Program is open to families with children registered for Home Education as per the requirements of the Home Education Program of the Department of Education, Queensland. It is not designed to provide all of the educational program for Home Education students but rather support the Home Education experience provided by parents.   All parents and Home Educators of students enrolled in Home Education are welcome to share the Montessori experience with their children.  ​ The active role parents play in their child's Home Education journey is supported by the staff at St Catherines' Montessori through the provision of Curriculum Design, Implementation, Assessment and Reporting guidance. This guidance is provided by experienced Montessori educators familiar with both the Montessori National Curriculum and the Australian Curriculum. The documents provided can then be used by families as part of their submission to the Home Education Unit which reflects the learning their child has undertaken during the year.  ​ Families wishing to join the St Catherines' Montessori Home Education Support Program in 2025 are encouraged to complete an expression of interest. Places are limited, so get in quick so your family does not miss out on this unique opportunity. ​ Families with non school aged children also wishing to access St Catherines' Montessori are also invited to submit an online expression of interest. We will be in touch regarding expected commencement dates of programs which provide Montessori support appropriate for your child.
