The spaces of Via Bignanico

Nusery, Children's House, Primary School

The squares

The building’s plan is developed in a succession of squares around which the classrooms of the different paths overlook. These open spaces are important places for meeting and reflection.

One of these is the Piazza delle Parole (The Word Atrium), which in the morning is the first place for children and teachers to meet and exchange ideas; this is where pre-school is held.

Another significant space is the Piazza dei Pensieri (The Thoughts Atrium), the largest space, onto which several classes overlook. It is a workplace where it is easy to find several children engaged in collaborative projects.
This square also hosts large meetings where children are involved in sharing important news and facts, but also to find the common thread of rules and good daily practices.

Classrooms

Library

On the first floor, the school offers a library that holds about 2,000 titles (continually increasing!) ranging from fiction to encyclopedias, with a rich selection also in English. This environment is designed to support students in cultivating curiosity towards reading and to provide them with help in studying and research.

It is also possible for students to borrow books for reading or consultation.

The garden

The outdoor space of the school in via Bignanico, rich in greenery and planted with fruit trees and evergreens, has an area equipped for the Nursery, an area for the Children’s House, while for the Primary School there are two soccer fields, a volleyball court, a green amphitheater, two spaces for basketball and an area used as a vegetable garden.

It is experienced daily by all students as an integral and fundamental part of the Montessori teaching activity, becoming a place of meeting, exploration and observation, study, as well as fun.

School gym

The headquarters in via Bignanico has its own gym integrated with the main structure where children can carry out activities related to the motor program, but which also serves as a recreational space in case of bad weather and a meeting point for moments of sharing.

After class time, the gym hosts some extracurricular activities intended exclusively for students, in collaboration with local sports associations.
