Blended Montessori learning for a global community in 22+ countries
How we helped Montessori Global Education move beyond a classroom-first LMS to a reflective, interactive platform that every centre can make its own.
About the client
Making Montessori education accessible worldwide
For over 70 years, Montessori Global Education has championed a learner-centred approach, delivering inclusive programmes to a global community.
They came to us to support blended learning across the globe, so every learner gets a high-quality, intuitive and engaging experience.
We chose BuildEmpire for their partnership and commitment. The impact has been phenomenal.
The challenge
Delivering a truly holistic blended learning experience
Montessori Global Education delivers holistic, blended learning, aligned with its philosophy, to a diverse global audience.
Doing that at scale is no small feat. It takes a balance of consistency, flexibility and personalisation, across everything from short programmes to full qualifications.
Before BuildEmpire
A college-style LMS that couldn’t keep up
Montessori Global Education used a college-style model with face-to-face and online learning. Their LMS mainly supported classroom-based teacher training, with limited online interaction and access to digital content.
That no longer matched the organisation’s evolving vision.
“We were planning significant innovation in our blended learning and needed a platform capable of growing with us.”Karen Chetwynd, CEO
Historically learning strategies for online provision have recognised themselves as a strategy to learn online rather than a learning strategy that necessarily suits the individual… That felt like a really key component that was the vision that we all shared going forwards.
The solution
A strategic partner, not just an LMS provider
Montessori Global Education chose BuildEmpire as a partner who could support long-term innovation. Hear the story from their team.
01
Blended learning integration
Montessori Global Education combines self-paced theory with live seminars in a flipped classroom model.
Learners engage with content on their own terms and use live sessions to apply and reflect, without a fixed, linear journey.
02
Peer-to-peer engagement
Learners can upload work, give peer feedback, and use forums and playlists.
It creates a safe, collaborative space where learners worldwide share experiences, discuss challenges and explore cultural differences.
03
Global reach, personalised learning
Central quality assurance, with local customisation for every centre.
Each centre gets its own tenant, with tailored content, branding and assessments.
Learners own their learning through self-paced exploration, reflection exercises, forums and peer assessment, while standards stay consistent and high worldwide.
We made the decision to choose BuildEmpire as they were the only platform for us that showed a deep, unwavering commitment to the vision that we had described. They weren’t trying to sell us a platform; they were selling us the vision of success for our learners.
