Our surroundings - the chronicle!

The Montessori School is located in beautiful scenic surroundings:
Near to the city and still directly bordering the Habichtswald. In addition, the magnificent Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe with its Wilhelmshöhe Palace and Herkules Monument are within the nearby surroundings, which was taken as a "model" for our school logo. Our school grounds have been designed in accordance with the surroundings that are very close to nature:
In addition to the playground that resembles a garden with its play corners and sensorial obstacle courses, we have a school garden aswell as various willow paths and tepees. Directly next to the school grounds there is a bus stop where the children can easily travel to and from scholl by public transport.
