Montessori Minds School is a private Montessori school in Albacete which operates as a micro-cooperative of Castile-La Mancha: its full name is Albacete Montessori Minds, S. Microcoop. de CLM. The school holds the Montessori method as its foundation and writes about it itself - both about starting out with the method and about how to adapt the home environment to it; its rooms, it says, are arranged so that a child can move freely and reach the materials alone. The school names three environments for young children - Aula nido, Comunidad Infantil and Casa de niños. It does not name the language of its sessions outright; its whole site, including the pages about the school, the method and contact, is written only in Spanish and mentions no English programme - hence Spanish as the language of instruction in this card. The main thing a parent needs to know: the school has recently moved to new premises, and the address given in its legal documents may be the old one; beyond its name, its address, the method and the names of its environments it says almost nothing about itself - no ages of entry, no fees and no pupil numbers.

The pedagogy of Maria Montessori: a child chooses the activity, works at their own pace with special materials, and mixed-age groups are arranged so that older children teach the younger ones. It is used most often in the nursery and primary stages.
What this means for this school. The name Montessori belongs to nobody: any school may call itself a Montessori school, and there is no single body that checks this. There are associations that train teachers and recognise schools, but membership of them is voluntary, and our entry means exactly that the school describes itself this way. This pedagogy has no leaving certificate, so what to look at is what the school finishes with.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 7 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
