Education, done well
Newberry House began in 2010 on the Lourensford Estate in Somerset West with a simple conviction: children deserve an education that is academically serious, connected to nature and rooted in real life. What started in a small collection of farm buildings has grown into a thriving Montessori and Cambridge community.
Education here is taken seriously, but never narrowly. Children build deep academic foundations and a lifelong love of learning in prepared environments, organic gardens, outdoor spaces and classrooms that invite independence, stewardship and creativity.
