Why choose a Montessori school in Europe?

Students and parents initially choose a boarding school for more challenging academics. Students are stimulated intellectually in ways they never were before in their schools. A boarding school ensures that students are immersed in an educational world where learning is central to all activities. A class size of 12 is the average at most boarding schools. Students are encouraged to think and share. They actively participate in their learning. Teachers live on campus and are available for extra help after the school day ends.

With 111,000 new doctorates awarded each year, Europe nearly twice as many doctorates as the USA. Boarding Schools in Europe have long welcomed students from other countries. With its unique combination of a modern and high quality way of life allied to its rich historical heritage, Europe offers a study experience like no other.

Parent and Student Reviews

  • Our 2 children have been at the school for almost 8 years. The caring, nurturing environment alongside rigorous academics, allowed my daughter to access a top university in UK while my son joined a boarding school in UK.

  • I am so excited that U-Tech is now bringing the experience of JIA to students outside of Michigan! My time at JIA was pivotal to my success later in life. The unique structure of the program allowed me the flexibility to tailor my education to fit my individual needs, which was a game-changer for me. I took advantage of my flexible schedule to enroll in college courses and collaborate with JIA/U-Tech staff to create custom curriculum that aligned with my post-high school goals.
    The tools and strategies I gained during my time at JIA equipped me to excel in graduate school and now in my career as a Data Scientist at Garmin. The emphasis on critical thinking and self-directed learning has proven invaluable. I cannot recommend JIA/U-Tech enough!

  • JIA was the perfect choice for my middle and high school careers. JIA set me up for real success. While there I was able to take college courses, take 2 different tech center courses which set me up to pursue my career of Dental Hygiene.  The staff at JIA really care for their students. They strive to make themselves available for their students and want to help them succeed. JIA gave me the chance to make lasting friendships with people from all throughout the school including classmates, those in grades around me and with the teachers!  If you ask any JIA student they will tell you that flexibility is just one of many strong suits of JIA. While being flexible JIA also has the structure to keep a procrastinator, like myself, up on their work. Overall JIA was the best way for me to learn, grow, and truly set me up for life after high school while also giving me the best 4 years of high school I could ask for.

  • I think having co-curricular activities are fun because you can learn outside of school and make new friends. Also, because having after school activities allows me to do what I want to do.

  • Sophia may be learning in her home, in her time, but is part of King’s InterHigh’s bigger community. She has a small class of roughly eight pupils, which makes it a far more individual way that she can be taught. When she was in mainstream school, she didn’t attain what she needed to do because she is a very shy child.

  • As a parent of a 7th grader attending GSN, I feel very grateful that my son has an opportunity to be a member of a school that is based on love, respect, and kindness. Thank you for creating a community in which every child feels special, for creating an academic environment which lets kids conquer the world and for giving big dreams to little ones.

  • This is a very warm school, the relationship between teachers and students is not so much teachers and students, but more like family. I have two children who have been studying in this school since kindergarten. In addition to learning knowledge and achieving good results, what is more difficult is to learn equality, help, and care in an international environment. GSN provides all of it.

  • Moving my two kids (secondary and primary) to GSN was definitely one of the best decisions we have made. GSN is without a doubt the best school in Ningbo I will ever have the pleasure of having contact with. GSN stands out well above any other school in every possible area (After School Activities, Tribes Program, facilities, etc). It is also the strong team of staff throughout the school and their sheer dedication to their job that will allow my kids to continue to grow and develop in their best way!
