As one of South Africa's oldest and most respected Montessori institutions, we are dedicated to providing our students with the tools they need for future happiness and success.
Our Story
Nestled amongst the trees in the leafy suburb of Bordeaux, Johannesburg is a well-established and equipped Montessori Nursery and Primary School that provides a caring and safe Montessori environment in which your child can thrive.
By following our mission, vision and values, we create a nurturing, stimulating, holistic and welcoming learning environment for all children.

Our well-equipped classrooms allow for hands-on, experiential learning, our beautiful sensory garden, gym and playground invite the children to explore to the fullest and our co-curricular activities of drama, art and music enable the children to explore their creativity and grow in confidence.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the school administration, teachers and support staff, past and present, for the past 8+ beautiful years we have enjoyed at the school. Thank you for welcoming us with open arms and making us a part of the Willows community, from the time Malelo was but a toddler to date - when you have welcomed 2 more Mwiingas, from infants to 1st grader and Garden toddler, respectively.
Our family has deeply valued the education and care provided by the dedicated staff at The Willows & the staff throughout the years. The nurturing environment and the many opportunities for growth and learning have been greatly appreciated. F & N have both developed both academically and personally during their time at your school, and for that, we are immensely grateful.
We are extremely grateful to The Willows for nurturing L over the years to become the confident and vivacious young girl that she is.
