“Repetition is the secret of perfection, and this is why the exercises are connected with the common activities of daily life.”
—Maria Montessori, The Discovery of the Child

Imbali Montessori is a small Primary School located in the Kingdom of Eswatini, in Africa.
Imbali Montessori Primary school has planted its roots, and is growing a strong stem for supporting future generations. We are a small Montessori school situated in the Malkerns Valley opening up our community to a new way of learning! Want to know more…go explore!
The rhythmic nature of weaving provides a calming effect, allowing children to immerse themselves fully in the present moment, fostering a sense of tranquility and inner peace, just as the wonderfully peaceful school environment offers them the peace to focus on their work.
Imbali Montessori offers young children a unique opportunity to explore their independence, focus, and confidence in a nurturing environment. Integrating sustainability into every aspect of the school motivates children to engage in conscious learning about their inner and outer world.
