Perth Montessori is a boutique, independent, co-educational school for children from birth to 18 years. It is located in Burswood, an inner-city suburb of Perth, Western Australia.
The school began in 1980 as the Victoria Park Montessori Playgroup, before becoming the Montessori Children's Centre with the opening of the first Children's House, Hibiscus, in 1982. Anne Zekas was the first principal.
In 2000, Gary Pears joined the school as the principal. The centre changed its name to Perth Montessori School and became a registered not-for-profit association. The school first began accepting secondary enrolments in 2007.
