Shanghai
Utsukushigaoka Montessori Kindergarten is the Sister Kindergarten of Utsukushigaoki Montessori
School in Yokohama, Japan.The
Kindergarten in Shanghai opened in May 1996 with one Japanese class.Now, we have expanded to two locations with
a total of ten Japanese
classes and two International classes (English and Chinese-English).
Our education principle is based on the
Montessori Method of teaching.We
encourage children to do things for themselves to lead them towards
independence, to develop a positive sense of self, to be confident learners and
to have empathy for others and for all living things.We believe that it is important for children to master their
native language and culture, as well as the one of the country where they are
living. We would like to maximize the international aspect of our community and
encourage the blend of cultures.
