Montessori International School

What Montessori International School does

Montessori International School (also operating as Montessori International Group of Schools) is a private K-12 educational institution headquartered at 64 King Perekule Street, G.R.A Phase 2, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. Founded in 1987 and officially approved in 1988, the school delivers Montessori-method instruction integrated with a Christian foundation, serving children from 3 months through 18 years of age. Its operations are organized as eight wholly-owned units spanning Early Learning Center (crèche, day care, after-school, weekend and holiday care), Early Years Nursery Section (Ladybird through Busy Bee), Inclusion Unit (occupational and behavioral therapy for children with mild special needs), Lower Primary, Upper Primary, Goldsprings Junior High Day School, and Goldsprings Senior High Boarding School, with a professional-development division branded Inspire Education Consult.

The school's technology footprint is primarily web-based: a WordPress-hosted corporate website (misph.com) handles marketing, content, and an E-Shop for school merchandise, while an online admission portal (misg.educare.school) powered by Educare processes applications and accepts debit/credit card payments. Distribution is overwhelmingly direct-to-consumer within the Port Harcourt catchment, supported by telephone-based inside sales, a self-serve online registration funnel, organic social channels (Instagram, YouTube, Facebook), and community referrals via the Parent-Teacher Association (P.T.A.).

Revenue is generated principally through recurring tuition and boarding fees across the full age range, supplemented by non-refundable one-time application/registration fees of N10,300 per child, ancillary fees from the Early Learning Center packages, and professional-services revenue from the Inclusion Unit (therapy) and Inspire Education Consult (teacher training). Ownership is founder/management-led with no disclosed parent company, private-equity backing, or venture funding, and the school remains a single-campus operation serving a regional Nigerian market.
