The BonguLwazi Montessori School programme focuses on the child. It is not about the child fitting into a system, but the system caters for the child’s developmental needs. The week starts with observations where the child or a group of children are assessed while independently doing their chosen work. The teacher takes note of the child’s gaps and uses that to develop a weekly plan for the child or a group. Thereafter, the presentations which focus on developing the “whole child”, i.e. physically, intellectually, socially, emotionally and spiritually are carried throughout the week covering different subject area as illustrated below. It must be noted that the programme is not rigid but serves as a structure to ensure progress and the child is also allowed to do activities that satisfies his sensitive period.
