Certified Montessori teachers nurture confidence and independence.

Renewal of Our Learning Environment and Class Structure

Due to the conclusion of our agreement with RED° TOKYO TOWER, the school has relocated from Tokyo Tower. At the same time, the school name has been changed from “Red Bambini Montessori International School” to “CASA ATLAS Montessori School“.

With this transition, parts of our school structure, including class organization, have been updated to provide a clearer progression of learning.

We will continue to offer a well prepared Montessori curriculum in a calm and focused environment in Tokyo.

About Casa Atlas Montessori School

CASA ATLAS Montessori School, founded in 1993 as Rainbow International Montessori School, began with just five students and has grown into a thriving learning community with over 2,800 graduates.

We provide a warm and thoughtfully prepared Montessori environment that nurtures curiosity, independence, and confident self expression while supporting each child’s individual growth.

Our Philosophy

Our Montessori approach encourages each child to explore, ask questions, and learn through hands-on experience. We support independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning in a calm and respectful environment.

"The goal of early childhood education is to awaken children‘s natural desire to learn."

Dr. Maria Montessori

Why Montessori Education?

Montessori education has been practiced around the world for more than a century and continues to support children across diverse cultures and communities. Its child-centered approach encourages independence, curiosity, concentration, and a lifelong love of learning.

Many individuals from a wide range of professional and creative fields have experienced Montessori education during their early years.

Prepared Learning Environment

Montessori classrooms are carefully prepared to support each child’s stage of development through hands-on learning and purposeful activity. Children are encouraged to explore independently, develop practical life skills, communicate with confidence, and build problem-solving abilities through daily experiences.

Teachers observe each child closely and provide guidance based on individual interests, readiness, and progress. This approach allows children to learn at their own pace while receiving appropriate support and new challenges throughout their learning journey.

We also share school updates, Montessori insights, and reflections from our principal and teachers about learning, child development, and daily life in the classroom.

Our Montessori Classroom Structure

A Combined Age Approach to Support Individual Growth

While Montessori classrooms traditionally follow the 0–3 and 3–6 age group model, our school embraces a combined age approach that allows children to receive focused, individualized guidance while also benefiting from meaningful social interactions.

This structure supports each child’s developmental needs in the morning and encourages natural peer learning in the afternoon when age groups mix.

Across all classes, children experience a calm, respectful, and multicultural environment that nurtures independence, curiosity, and joyful learning.
