Charis originates from the Greek word representing “Grace, Kindness, and Life.” We believe every child is a beautiful creation of God, bestowed to us for tender, loving care. 

At Charis Montessori, children are the seeds of God’s love; it is our vision since 1999 to reach out to every child under our care to flourish in God’s way.

The management and staff at Charis embrace these virtues with pride and share them unconditionally. This spirit of dedication and commitment draws praises and attachment.

After the first branch at Kembangan, our second branch at Yio Chu Kang Chapel proudly opened in 2018. 

With a team of qualified professionals who are passionate and dedicated to sharing their knowledge and skills to children of all cultures, we aim to incorporate good moral values into our curriculum to nurture them into confident, God-fearing, and resilient little angels. 

As Charis Montessori continues to branch out, we hope and await you to be a part of our family.

For hygiene and safety purposes, we advise parents to keep their children at home or see a doctor if the child is not well. Please follow the safety management measures of the school so that we can help prevent the spread of illnesses in school.

14. What values do you instill in the children?
Good values are very important to us so we always ensure that the teachers are there to guide the children in learning proper values. We teach our children to be kind to others, to be honest, to be patient and to love each other as these are good values that we want to instill in them. We always explain to them that violence such as hitting, biting, pushing and scratching are not the correct ways to treat others. By avoiding them, they can gain more friends.
