Excellence in Middle School Education

The Montessori Adolescent Program is a carefully crafted middle school that prioritises rich experiences, academic rigour, strong relationships, and personal growth.

Tailored for students in Years 7 to 9, the program recognises that adolescence marks a significant developmental leap and that the middle years are a pivotal time for developing academic habits, social understanding, and emotional care. 

Students are supported and mentored by their advisor as they progress through their three years at our Wairoa Campus. They emerge with a profound sense of self, fully engaged in their learning, and thoroughly prepared for their senior school years. 

Enrolments for 2025 and 2026 are open. 

We invite you to visit and see our middle school in action in Stirling, in the Adelaide Hills from 9.30am on Monday 12 August.

These quiet turning points—part challenge, part breakthrough—are common in outdoor education. And for students in the middle years of schooling, they’re more than just powerful memories. They’re moments of growth.
