The **Montessorischule Hamburg-Bergedorf** is a state-approved primary school under independent management and the first Montessori school in Hamburg. Since 2007, children have been learning here in a prepared environment according to the principles of Maria Montessori: self-determined, discovering and with plenty of room for individual development. The focus is on the guiding principle **"Help me to do it myself!"** - an educational understanding that encourages children to take responsibility for their own learning and to develop independence, concentration and social skills.
As an **open all-day school**, the school offers not only lessons, but also reliable care and a varied daily program that meaningfully complements family life. The pedagogical approach combines cross-age and action-oriented learning with modern equipment and a clear focus on the needs of the individual child. Experienced Montessori teachers accompany the students individually and strengthen them in their own learning pace.
A particular advantage of the school is its **learning-friendly environment**: it is located on the historic site of the Hamburger Sternwarte in Bergedorf, where modern teaching pavilions are combined with the lovingly modernized old building. This environment creates an atmosphere in which learning, research and working together come together in a special way. The school concept is complemented by a wide range of offers for the morning, afternoon and vacation periods, which combine education, care and community.
The school sees itself as a **parent initiative with a strong sense of community**. This origin still shapes the cooperation today: parents, teachers and sponsors jointly shape everyday school life and contribute to the further development of the school. Montessorischule Hamburg-Bergedorf thus stands not only for an educational concept, but also for a committed school model that relies on participation, trust and cooperation.
The topic of **sustainability and responsible action** also plays an important role in everyday school life. This includes a consciously designed learning environment, the careful handling of existing building fabric and the use of a grown, green school campus. Montessori pedagogy itself also promotes sustainable attitudes by encouraging children to take responsibility, respect others and use resources carefully. In this way, the school combines pedagogical quality with a future-oriented understanding of education.
Overall, the Montessorischule Hamburg-Bergedorf stands for a contemporary, child-oriented and value-based education that not only strengthens children professionally, but also allows them to grow in their personality.
