The school is a part of the Montessori Institute. It is entered into the register of elementary schools at the Ministry of School, Science and Sport under the sequence number 457. The school implements a Montessori program for elementary schools that has been officially recognised at the 129th conference by the Council of Experts of the Republic of Slovenia for General Education on February 4th, 2010. Therefore, the execution of the program is co-financed by the Ministry of Education.

The first pupils started attending the school in 2010. The Ministry of Education has been monitoring the first generation of students as well as the program itself, and the results were approved annually by the Council of Experts of the Republic of Slovenia for General Education.

In 2011, they bought a land for the construction of our own premises for the elementary school in Podutik, Ljubljana and in 2018 we moved into the new building.
