The Coffee Wave is moving to the rooftop! From Tuesday, May 10, Coffee Wave services will be on the Grove Rooftop from 8:15 to 8:45. The Coffee Wave is also replacing their plastic lids and cups with biodegradable ones. Please stop by and grab a coffee! #WeAreMST #MSTEucalyptus

A lovely spring day, and the sound of happy children playing in the MST garden provides a lovely backdrop and soundtrack for those of us working indoors this afternoon! #WeAreMST #MSTgarden #MSTsunshine #nature

[James Moore @MSTokyoHead]

A spontaneous ‘book group’ broke out in the warm sun before the school doors opened this morning - some older students enjoyed reading the names of fish to their younger friends... #MSTsunshine #MSTfriendship #MSTlanguage

[James Moore @MSTokyoHead]

Research, concentration, collaboration, engagement and learning.... and not a teacher in sight! #MSTEducationReimagined #MSTelementary #MSTconfidence #Montessori

[James Moore @MSTokyoHead]

A 6-year-old explores the ‘short chain of 3’ - building a strong foundation for multiples, squaring and cubing. Her concentration unwavering as the classroom bustles around her... #MSTconcentration #MSTmaths #MSTelementary

[James Moore @MSTokyoHead]

Montessori students experience mathematics with their senses. Ever wondered what '9 + 6 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 5 + 7 + 1 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 1 + 6 + 8' looks like? How long it is? Or what colour it might be? #MSTmaths #MSTEducationReimagined #MSTdiscovery

[James Moore @MSTokyoHead]

It's back to school here in Tokyo, and MST's newest Lower Elementary class, situated on our New Campus, is starting to really hum with activity! #MSTEducationReimagined #MSTelementary #MSTconcentration

[James Moore @MSTokyoHead]

Celebrating 150 years since the birth of Maria Montessori- a short film narrated by her great-granddaughter (whom I met in Amsterdam last year) #MSTinspire #MSTpeace #MSTdiscovery #MSTEducationReimagined #MSTfollowthechild #Montessori150 #yes

[AMI @MontessoriAMI]

To mark 150 years since the birth of Maria Montessori, we have collaborated with @brightvibes_com BrightVibes who have made this wonderful film about Maria Montessori and her inspirational life. Watch the video here: https://t.co/wNSREmZSVQ

[MST Maple Class @MSTokyoMaple]

When social distancing is important but working with a friend is more! They used the measuring tape to make sure they were together but 1,5m apart #MSTEducationReimagined #MSTculture #MSTelementary

[James Moore @MSTokyoHead]

One classroom of 6-9 year olds gets to grips with learning in masks. Very different not working closely with our friends as we are used to! #WeAreMST #MSTindependence #MSTdiscovery #MSTinspire

[MST Oak Class @MSTokyoOak]

Back to school. Let’s go team Oak #MST

[James Moore @MSTokyoHead]

And the learning goes on in a classroom of 3-6 year olds- masks and all! #WeAreMST #MSTindependence #MSTfollowthechild

[MST Sequoia Class @MSTokyoSequoia]

Dedicated learners from the Sequoia class🌸🌈💫 #MSTlearning #MSTsunshine #MSTconfidence

[James Moore @MSTokyoHead]

After 4 weeks it seems our youngest students have settled in rather comfortably #MSTconfidence #MSTcuriosity

[James Moore @MSTokyoHead]

Lots of fun and learning with the geometric solids presentations - everyone wants a chance to practice. #MSTsensorial #WeAreMST #MS TEducationReimagined

[James Moore @MSTokyoHead]

Driving the teachers in training home on a rainy day. #Mapuzitaxi #MSTfun

[James Moore @MSTokyoHead]

Lots of sensorial exploration and practice for the teachers in training. Using the Ikhaya Labantwana classrooms while the students are on holiday. #MSTsensorial #montessoritraining #MST inspire

[James Moore @MSTokyoHead]

A bit of a drive through the mist but we eventually came to the Zitulele Hospital - a place filled with people giving their time and skills to improve the local infrastructure. Part of which is the Montessori school we visited.
