The Field & Study Montessori Pre-school is a small half day school and runs on the private school terms. We are dedicated to promoting the Montessori principals for children from the ages of two years old. The School is affiliated to the South African Montessori Association (SAMA)

Julia Gorham completed one of the first full time Montessori courses in 1987 offered by Strilli 0ppenheimer  at  the Montessori Training Centre.

Julia then went on to gain experience at the Hout Bay Montessori and returned to Gauteng to open and run the Alta Montessori Preschools. She continued to teach whilst starting her family and opened the Rivonia Montessori Preschool from her home in 1992.

After running a successful school for 8 years the school relocated its premises in 2000 to a tranquil country setting in the Field and Study Park/

Many past parents and pupils  remain in contact with Julia and  keep her updated about what they are doing  and thank her for the good start  she gave them  in life and reminisce about fond memories they have of the school.

Julia Gorham is highly regarded by her fellow Montessorians and educators for her high standards and commitment to educating children.
