“4 times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement

“Healthy families are the foundation of our well-being and of our society“.3
MOHARAZ’s harmonious environment gives the opportunity for families to enjoy time together with the benefit that each person works on their own path and on their own project.
4. MOHARAZ gives opportunities to people with artistic talent to be part of it. MOHARAZ believes that the arts improve the economy and create job opportunities in the area.
“…Arts and culture industry generates 5.7 million jobs every year.”4
5. MOHARAZ applies Montessori philosophy that boosts children’s independence, self-directed learning and self-identity.
MOHARAZ uses practical life throughout the art. Children will master the materials that encourage independence and self confidence by giving them the tools to manage their time and have respect toward MOHARAZ’s environment, themselves and others.
