Montessori (AMI)
Founded
2010

An Islamic Montessori school in South Jakarta, the first authentic Montessori school in Indonesia to integrate Islamic values, serving toddlers through to lower primary.

Green Montessori was founded in 2010 by Usdiati Endah Purwati and Alhilal Hamdi, originally as Menteng Preschool and rebranded to its current name in 2015. The DB founded year of 2018 is wrong by external sources. The school sits in Duren Tiga, Pancoran, and combines AMI-style Montessori practice with Islamic values and a strong nature focus. The primary section was accredited Status A Unggul in 2018.

Parent voice is positive on the whole, with families praising the green environment, the friendliness of staff, and the way children build independence early through the Montessori cycle. Sentiment on Facebook is mixed enough to suggest the model does not suit every family. Parents who want a more academic, exam-driven primary tend to move on by Year 3. Those who stay value the calm pace and the consistency of approach across years.
