Montessori in the Heart of Dili
Nestled amongst surrounding hills and mountains of Timor-Leste, Matenek Montessori is an oasis for children to develop to their fullest developmental potential. We are dedicated to training your child to become MATENEK (the Tetum word for "wisdom") in every sense of the word.
​
Led by trained Montessori professionals, we deliver an authentic AMI Montessori experience with both an international and unique Timorese touch, geared towards 21st century learning, to bring out the very best of every child that joins our Montessori community.

Our Programs
Our authentic AMI Montessori programs bring out the best of your child's early years by empowering them to become inquisitive, independent and confident self-directed learners, critical thinkers and creative problem-solvers in the 21st century. ​​
Rooted in the Montessori philosophy, we are firm believers of the Montessori method in preparing the child not just for school but for life. Our Montessori programs do not aim to teach children subjects, but to set them up on the path of success following the course of their natural development.
​
To prepare children for the 21st century information age of technological advancement and the rise of A.I, the Montessori method not only stands the test of time, but is even more relevant and critical than before, for children to succeed in the world of tomorrow.

"The greatest gifts we can give our children are the roots of responsibility and
the wings of independence."
