About Us

The story, the people, and the promise behind the gate

Highland Montessori International School was built on a simple idea: that a small school, run with real care, can give every child more room to become themselves.

School Philosophy
Child-Led Pace

Progress, not age groups

Children move through material as they're ready for it, in small mixed-pace groups, guided rather than pushed.

Prepared Environment

A classroom built for focus

Every material, corner, and routine is chosen deliberately, so a child can work independently and with purpose.

Whole-Child Growth

Character alongside academics

Kindness, resilience and self-possession are practised daily, treated as seriously as reading and arithmetic.

Brief History of Highland Montessori International School

Mrs. Anih Ngozi Grace

Founder & Head of School

Highland Montessori International School was established by Facado Orphanage Home Abuja as part of its commitment to providing quality education and a brighter future for orphaned and vulnerable children. Founded under the visionary leadership of Mrs. Anih Ngozi Grace, the school was created to ensure that no child is denied access to education because of poverty, loss of parental care, or social disadvantage.

Built on the Montessori philosophy of learning, Highland Montessori International School provides a nurturing, child-centered environment that promotes academic excellence, character development, creativity, and lifelong learning. The school offers free education to children from Facado Orphanage Home and other vulnerable children, removing financial barriers that often prevent access to quality schooling.

Since its establishment, the school has continued to impact lives by empowering children with knowledge, skills, and values that prepare them to become responsible and productive members of society. Through the support of donors, partners, and well-wishers, Highland Montessori International School remains dedicated to transforming lives through education and giving every child the opportunity to reach their full potential.I can also create a longer version suitable for a website, brochure, accreditation document, or donor proposal.
