Our Promise

To stimulate intellectual curiosity and accomplishment; to instil compassion and respect; and always to honour the daring dreams and hidden talents of the individual.

Somersfield students are receiving the kind of education everyone dreams of, and it shows. It shows in the way they listen and learn, discuss and challenge, understand and achieve.

You've probably seen our green fields and beautiful six acre campus on the Middle Road in Devonshire, but it's what goes on inside that makes Somersfield so special.

Traditional & Innovative

Somersfield's traditional Montessori Programme was implemented in 1991. Today the school serves 439 children ages 3 – 16 years who are known in the community for being curious, confident and caring learners. Our Montessori programme embraces innovative educational practices with fully qualified teachers and well-equipped classrooms. For academic year 2009-2010 we have 212 students in the elementary and 80 in the preschool level.

Our International Baccalaureate Middle-Years Programme (MYP), was introduced in 2001 and allows students to stay with the school until 16 years of age. The MYP, like the Montessori Programme, is a holistic approach to education which emphasizes an integrated curriculum and active engagement in the process of learning. These two distinct and unique programmes culminate in universally accepted qualifications for our graduates. Our students confidently move on to other schools with strong academic skills and personal self-confidence. For academic year 2009-2010 we have 147 students enrolled in the MYP.

An Education that Makes a Difference

At Somersfield, we believe that today's young people must become lifelong learners, capable of responding to continuous change. They need to know how to work in teams, solve problems, think creatively and critically, and to learn by doing. Underlying our philosophy, indeed our model, is the belief that children learn more effectively when they are engaged in the joyful work of generating, exploring, interpreting and connecting ideas in order to solve challenging problems. Creative teaching strategies help students go beyond simply memorizing and recalling facts, to generate their own understanding and application of information. Somersfield offers an education that makes a difference.
