The Staff

  • Lisa Ritchie

    Position: Principal / Directress

    Lisa is an internationally accredited Montessori directress, and completed her studies in 2013 after spending 11 years in the Engineering field as a Project Document and Data Manager. Her aim is to accurately watch and record all facts of a situation in a prepared environment as they occur naturally and identify the needs of a situation and choose how to respond and fulfil those needs. We serve knowledge through material and adapt teaching style to each child's needs. Maria Montessori conclusion of a teacher is "It's her lot to watch with humble reverence. Day by day, the spontaneous unfolding of the children's lives, seeking always to remove obstacles, both internally and externally, from their path, while she guides with science and sympathy the irrepressible energies of life".
