About St. Nicholas Montessori College of Ireland
We have been preparing Ireland’s leading Montessori teachers and early years practitioners since 1970. We are accredited by QQI and we are a founder member of the Irish Montessori Education Board (IMEB) and of the Higher Education College Association (HECA).
Our vision is to bring excellence in Montessori education to the broader education landscape so that all young people are placed at the heart of their own educational experience and empowered to be independent, confident and creative lifelong learners.
Additionally at SNMCI, we are about to make the big move – into our brand new campus building on Cumberland Street in Dun Laoghaire.
“Our aim is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core.”
Maria Montessori
“If schooling were evidence based, I think all schools would look a lot more like Montessori schools.”
Angelline Stoll Lillard - The Science Behind the Genius
“The education of even a small child . . . does not aim at preparing him for school, but for life.”
Maria Montessori
