Cotswold Montessori School is located in Benoni. Set in the tranquil surroundings of the Benoni country, The Cotswold Country Montessori School offers students a peaceful, holistic education that promotes the global Montessori philosophy of fostering a “Learning for Life”. This education method is used in over 22 000 schools globally.

The Cotswold Montessori preschool and primary school opened its doors in 1996 and today provides quality education to children between the ages of 2 to 13 years of age.

Interactive indoor and outdoor experiences, including trusted Montessori classroom activities combined with nature walks, animal welfare as well as produce cultivation and gardening ensure that our students experience everything on offer in our beautiful school environment. Our resident wildlife – owls, rabbits, guinea fowl and peacocks – complete the educational paradigm that makes The Cotswold Country Montessori School a compelling choice as a leading independent South African preschool and primary school provider in the Benoni/Boksburg/Kempton Park areas.

Created in sandstone from a neighbouring quarry, the thatch-roofed classrooms blend into the tranquil country grounds that were part of a large hunting lodge used by the Earl of Craven in the late 1890’s.

The Cotswold Montessori School offers education for children from 2½ – 13 years of age. A child’s education is divided into three year phases which are spread across the preschool (3-6 years), the lower and then the upper primary (6-9 and 9-12 years). The school provides a unique and loving environment in which children are educated and the skills of “Learning for Life” are developed using the Montessori Method.

Under the careful guidance of the founding principal, May Selkirk and the highly qualified staff, urban children are exposed to nature and an enthusiastic love of learning as a fundamental part of schooling. It is amidst these surroundings that children who attend The Cotswold Country Montessori School are nurtured and encouraged to learn.
