A Tradition of Excellence OUR HISTORY
September 1964 :
"Merton Nursery School was established by the Founders: Mr and Mrs Odunton"
The school was established to provide pre-school education in a stimulating environment. Upon it’s very inception, Merton has aimed to enable Ghanaian children to develop their physical, emotional and intellectual abilities and to prepare them for entry into mainstream schooling. The Founders placed an emphasis on helping children gain confidence, independence and life-skills.
1971
Founders relocated to the school’s present site and changed the name to Merton Nursery School.
1988
"Mrs Elizabeth Baitie, daughter of the Founders, became the Headmistress"
During the first phase of her tenure, Mrs Baitie expanded and upgraded Merton’s infrastructure by building more classrooms to increase the school’s capacity to take in a growing stream of children.
1991
"Merton adopted the Montessori Method and changed its name to “Merton Montessori School"
Driven by her first-hand experience of teaching Montessori in the U.K. and seeing its benefit on children’s educational outcomes, Mrs. Baitie introduced the Montessori Method to Merton and trained staff and equipped them with the necessary skills and learning aids to deliver the Montessori method of education.
1999
"Merton International School (Primary) was established as a separate entity to provide continued learning options"
The successful implementation of the Montessori method and the amazing output of Merton products resulted in Parents strongly requesting an expansion of Merton’s learning options. This led to the establishment of the Merton International School – which provides Primary & Secondary school learning opportunities. In recognition and appreciation of this continued relationship, Merton Montessori alumni are given discounted access to the Primary school.
2010
Merton Montessori Educational Trust Established
Driven by the strong demand for high-quality teachers and recognition of Merton’s tradition of excellence, Merton set up a teachers’ training program to provide in-service training to teachers. This became a fully-fledged program for outsiders. Thus far, it’s trained over XX teachers through this program.
2014
"Merton Montessori Celebrated 50 Years of delivering a “tradition of excellence”
