“The Best Of Both Worlds”
MLC’s approach to learning combines the best of both worlds: the rigorous and internationally recognised expectations of the English National Curriculum, together with the hands-on, engaging, learner-centred approach of a Montessori environment.
This enables our students to build on their natural curiosity and desire to learn, while developing important self-actualisation skills and independent study habits that will stay with them well beyond their school years.

Our Senior School
We look forward to welcoming you
Our authentic Montessori approach develops strong academic skills in line with the English National Curriculum, enhanced by personalised and enjoyable hands-on learning opportunities. We empower our students to become independent, creative, and reflective individuals who have the confidence to face challenges and make meaningful contributions to society.
Our Vision
Our authentic Montessori approach nurtures creativity and academic excellence, with the freedom to explore mindfully and responsibly. Our learning community thrives in a safe and caring, child-centred environment that fosters the holistic development of every learner. We encourage curiosity through our broad-based curriculum, enriched with opportunities to cultivate independent, resilient global citizens who are prepared to meet the challenges of the real world with a positive and growth-oriented mindset.
Our Facilities
The Secondary campus development combines the charm and warmth of a mid-century house and mature gardens with light-filled, airy modern extensions to create an exceptional learning environment.
Phase 1 facilities include:
- Spacious classrooms

Key Stage 3: Years 7 to 9 (11 to 14 Years)
In the first years of the Secondary School, we introduce students to a broad and stimulating programme. The curriculum comprises English, Mathematics, Science, French, Geography, History, Art, Drama, Music, Computing, PE and Games, Swimming, as well as Practical Life subjects, including Food and Nutrition.
In addition, students take part in a weekly Personal Growth lesson, attend Assembly once a week, and participate in an extensive student leadership programme.
Many students further enrich their studies through a wide range of co-curricular activities. A full programme of squad training sessions and fixtures also enhances the sports provision.
Key Stage 4: Years 10 to 11 (14 to 16 Years)
Most students take nine IGCSE subjects, laying a firm foundation for the pursuit of a wide range of careers beyond school, as well as for further study at Sixth Form level.
The core curriculum includes English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, the Sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics), Personal Growth (including Careers), and PE/Games.
Students choose four additional subjects from Art, Computer Science, Drama, Food and Nutrition, French, Geography, History, ICT, Swahili, Music, and Physical Education.
