Montessori British School in Murcia new courses 2023-24
These are the unique and groundbreaking courses that are moving education to a new level in Murcia

The Montessori British School in Murcia, a unique kind of educational centre that teaches a UK curriculum using the Montessori method, has exciting new additions for the 2023-24 academic year, including their Esports programme, ‘Nomad’ virtual learning and their open-air Erdkinder programme which takes inspiration from harmony with nature to provide students with a holistic educational experience.
BTEC course in Esports in English and Spanish

This year, the Montessori British School Murcia became the first school in Spain to offer a BTEC in Esports. It is an official Level 3 British qualification that is equivalent to A-levels, and is a unique, forward-looking course that focuses on the burgeoning electronic sports industry, including such Units as ‘Game design for Esports’ and ‘The business of Esports’, among others.
The idea is to be able to give students practical tools that will grant them greater employment opportunities in the Esports industry, a market that was estimated to be worth $1.39 billion in 2022.
Teaching of the subjects is done via projects that require the creation of real content and event organisation instead of just studying theory, which is an excellent way for students to build their own portfolio of work which they can show to potential employers.
Nomad virtual learning

At the same time, this year the Montessori British School is offering the virtual study programmes Nomad and Nomad+, which are designed to allow students to learn and participate in the life of the school online. Being born out of the necessity of virtual learning during lockdown, the programme was very popular and has been continued. It is aimed at those students who travel a lot or live far away from Murcia and who require continuity in their schooling. All students need is a computer or tablet and an internet connection!
As with all their courses, it is based on the UK National Curriculum and is suitable for children at Primary and Secondary level, that is, from ages 6 to 16, when students can even prepare their GCSEs online.
With the Nomad programme, students have a minimum of 3 classes per day in English, Spanish, Maths and Science. In the Nomad+ programme, this is expanded to include a free selection of more subjects, such as Robotics & Technology, Art & Design, Esports and more.
Erdkinder open-air education

Named for the German word that translates as ‘Children of the Earth’, the Erdkinder programme Montessori British School provides a Secondary Education programme that is based around respect for nature and education that conforms to real-life situations. The course is ideal for expat and foreign students which takes place in an open-air setting, in the school’s very own botanical garden.
The Erdkinder is the perfect addition to Montessori academic and professional courses
because it lets students develop practical life skills such as agriculture, cooking, carpentry, gardening, mechanics, electrics and lots more that will help them grow into capable and self-sufficient adults.
It also helps to promote responsibility among youngsters by allowing them to take their own decisions which impact their own learning, wellbeing and personal development, at the same time as fomenting teamwork via the social aspect of the learning environment. Proponents agree that it helps students learn to manage and recognise their own emotions and stress levels, and thus become better equipped to deal with problems that may arise in their lives.
