Yes. We have the official recognition from the Indian Montessori Centre, which certifies our authenticity in following the true Montessori method . We are also recognised by the Govt of Karnataka. This is mandatory for classes 1-5. This provides the student number in the government student tracking system, which validates a student's formal education.

At Golden Arch , the children are nurtured to be very skillful and adaptable. They are well trained in life skills and concepts, which puts them ahead of the syllabus standards of other boards of education. So, they blend in easily and often excel. Our alumni includes a CBSE All India Rank 2 holder. (From the first batch that has passed out of Golden Arch)
We also train our children with classroom sessions for writing exams (since exams are not a part of the typical Montessori education system)

Yes. We have teachers trained from standard Montessori Training centres. Most of them are trained from IMTC. Support teachers have completed a certified course and an extensive inhouse training. Some of our teachers have as many as ten years of experience with the Golden arch family.

We follow the NCERT framework . We also use books from ICSE , CBSE etc which comply with the Montessori method. Hence, we follow an integrated syllabus. Thus, the child can conveniently take up any board exam in the future.

Initial communication is effective even at a nonverbal level. Children of this age are very quick in learning new languages. According to our observation, children learn the basics of the English language (our medium of instruction) within just a few weeks

Montessori children learn writing with a true sense of creating on their own i.e copy writing is never encouraged. Thus, a strong foundation with phonetics and Grammar are laid initially, after which they start writing ( age of 4). They are extremely thorough by the age of 6, at which point they can read and write anything around them ( not restricted to just the given lessons or syllabus).

Yes and No. We conduct exams from level 3 onwards. This is just to train children for their later schooling (outside the Montessori method). We do not assess them based on these exams as this is a very narrow perspective according to the Montessori standpoint.

Montessori is the name of the method followed across all age groups. It begins as Level 1 in a Montessori school and Nursery is the class with which children generally begin their schooling in a tradional school. Both are for children age of 3.

A Montessori school is a unique set up of classroom in which a mixed age group of children from age 3-6 learn together unlike the regular school.
In a Montessori, children learn by self exploration, discovery and hands on work. Montessori is Child centric where as it is Syllabus centric in conventional school.

Pre nursery begins at One and a half years of age. This is also called as the toddlers program or Pre Montessori.

Montessori is the name of a method and not the level of class. It can even extend upto 10th grade. Pre primary is a section of classes before the Primary education. Classes before the formal education starts,that is any class levels prior to Grade 1 is pre primary.
