History of St. Christopher's Montessori School St. Christopher's Montessori School, a non-profit organization owned by parents and operated by a Board and a Principal, opened in the fall of 1978. It was an offshoot of the original Montessori school in Victoria, Queenswood Montessori School. When that school closed, a group of dedicated parents organized the Queenswood Montessori Society, and found a new location on the corner of Currie and Newport in Oak Bay. The early 1900's building had originally been a small primary school, later enlarged and converted to a dance studio. The Society purchased the building for $130,000 with a one dollar down payment. Over the years, a number of expansions and improvements have been made to the school and grounds. The attic was developed in 1988; a major playground project was completed in 1991; the kitchen was expanded and renovated in 1999. St. Christopher's is proud to continue the tradition of providing quality education.more...See more text
Based on my firsthand experience as a parent and former board member/secretary of the Queenswood Montessori Society, I CANNOT recommend this school to anyone unless significant changes are made to the management team soon. It is essential for them to consistently foster an environment of warmth and positivity for both our young children and teachers. Moreover, management must demonstrate kindness, professionalism, and ethical behavior, while always communicating honestly.
