FAQ

Is there an entrance exam?

No, there is not.

Is it possible to enroll in the middle of a term?

If there is space in the class, students may enroll in the middle of a school session.

Why are there students of different ages in a class?

A Montessori classroom with mixed age groups encourages interaction and learning from their peers. This gives the younger child the opportunity to learn from the older child as well as giving the older child an opportunity to be a role model.

Why do children work individually?

In Montessori, we believe each child develops at his or her own pace. Therefore, classes are set up so that children can choose the materials they are most interested in, while at the same time working in an environment where they can work without interruption. Some activities are made to be completed as a group while other works are made to be done individually.

Why do you use "real" materials?

“Real materials” such as glass, sharp pointed objects, etc. are used in the classroom to give real life experience. Using these materials, the child becomes more aware of their actions and aids in self-control, and care for the environment.

How do Montessori children handle the transition to a more traditional school?

A Montessori education fosters self-discipline, social skills, and independence which help a child successfully handle the transition to a more traditional school. 

How do children learn to use the materials?

All teachers at Red Bambini Montessori School are Montessori trained and certified, enabling them to guide children to activities and materials that are appropriate for their stage of development.

Do you have a Japanese education program?

No, we do not. Classes are conducted in English only. If you are interested in a Japanese language program, please take advantage of our After-School program. For more information, please email us.

Does the school have a playground? Do you take the children to the park?

We do not have a playground, but we do take the children to a nearby park when the weather allows.

Do you provide school lunches?

Yes, we offer a lunch delivery service by Didi Grande, an Italian/American restaurant located in Azabu Juban. Menus are carefully created by the chef each session. Parents are welcome to order lunch delivery. Lunch order forms will be sent to parents at the end of every month if you indicate you are interested.

Is there parking available near the school?

There is no designated school parking. However, we can direct you to the many parking lots located around the school.
