Moderato Montessori

A small AMI-aligned Montessori with a French and Spanish backbone, opened in 2018. The children come out trilingual or close, and parents talk about visible confidence and curiosity rather than test scores.

Days are run in French, Spanish, and English, with Catalan in the mix. The small roll means mixed-age classrooms work as Montessori intends, and teachers know every child by name. Parents single out reading, writing and maths progress that arrives without obvious pressure.

Communication with families runs more like a partnership than a school-to-parent broadcast, which is one of the reasons Francophone families in particular settle in. The outdoor space is useful at this age, and add-ons like yoga, swimming and music keep the day varied.

It only goes to early years and lower primary, so this is a starter school rather than a 3 to 18 plan. Families should think about the next move from the day they enrol, particularly if they want to stay in a Francophone or Montessori track once children outgrow the site.

• Small but consistently positive review pool from parents of nursery and primary children.
• Multilingual model is the recurring draw: French as the primary language, with Spanish, Catalan and English in regular use.
• Parents describe progress in autonomy and a Montessori environment where children work with minimal adult intervention.
• Teachers are described as adapting to each child's pace, with school-parent communication treated as a partnership.
• The school is small and young, founded in 2018, with an elementary class added in 2024. Older-age track record is limited.
