Curriculum
Josiah Montessori – Alexandra uses a Montessori-based curriculum built around The Josiah Way, emphasizing independent, self-directed learning within a prepared environment and respectful social development. Programs are organized by age: Infants (2 months–18 months), Toddlers (18 months–3 years), Kindergarten (3–5 years), and Pre-Primary (around 6 years). For the Kindergarten stage, the curriculum includes Montessori Mathematics and Montessori Language (with the Josiah Phonics System), a Mandarin language component, a Musical Arts Programme (MAP), and activities in Grace & Courtesy, outdoor play, and character development. The Chinese language component uses a dedicated in-house syllabus designed to build vocabulary, sentence structure, and basic writing through play-based methods.

Overall, the curriculum aims to foster self-directed learning, concentration, social-emotional growth, and confidence, with integrated arts and Mandarin exposure to support holistic development.

The founders emphasised partnership with parents. Since then, Josiah has expanded to multiple centres across Singapore, including Suntec City Mall (Suntec), Changi Business Park, Aperia, Pasir Ris, Tampines Mart, and Raffles Place. The Alexandra campus, Josiah Montessori Alexandra, is located at 456 Alexandra Rd, Fragrance Empire Building.

The Josiah environment combines Montessori learning with the Musical Arts Programme (MAP), which includes five elements—Dance, Vocals, Classical Music Appreciation, Art, and Chinese Speech & Drama—in English and Mandarin. Bilingualism in English and Mandarin is a core focus in daily learning. Public testimonials highlight parental engagement and the care provided by staff.
