De school van Maas en Waal is een openbare basisschool in Amsterdam Zuid, in de Rivierenbuurt. De school telt ongeveer 300 kinderen verdeeld over 12 groepen en serves children from ages 4 to 12. As a public school, it describes itself as a warm welcome for everyone, with respect for a rich diversity of cultural and religious backgrounds. That sense of openness is central to the school’s identity and gives the community a broadly inclusive character.
The school works in line with the philosophy of Maria Montessori, and says that living and learning according to Montessori principles is at the heart of its approach. Children learn with a focus on independence, the use of Montessori materials, freedom of choice, and working at their own pace. The school also emphasises both individual and group learning. Children are placed in mixed-age groups of three year levels: groep 0-1-2, groep 3-4-5, and groep 6-7-8. These heterogenous groups are designed so that children can discover together, learn from one another, and enjoy the process.
