Terms of Service

Last updated November 11, 2026

These terms apply to everyone who uses Montessori School Finder. By using the site, you accept them. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.

Who We Are

Montessori School Finder is published by BIGBANG MEDIA, a French limited liability company (SARL) with its registered office in Laval, France. The company details, the director of publication and the host are listed in our Legal Notice.

The Service

Montessori School Finder is a free directory that helps families find Montessori schools around the world. You do not need an account to use it. Listings and listing updates are free for schools.

Information Provided As Is

We build the directory from public sources and from corrections sent by schools and visitors. The sources are listed in our Legal Notice. We work to keep the information accurate, but we cannot guarantee that every detail is complete, correct or current. Opening hours, programs, ratings and contact details change, and part of the data was collected in January 2025.

The site and its content are provided as is. Please confirm the details with the school before you make a decision.

No Endorsement

A listing does not mean that we recommend a school. The Verified Montessori badge means that an official record or the school's own website shows that the school presents itself as a Montessori school, as explained on our About page. It is not an accreditation and it is not issued by any Montessori organization. Ratings are Google ratings and reflect the views of Google users. Choosing a school remains your decision.

Acceptable Use

You are welcome to browse the site, share its pages and quote it with a link. You agree not to do any of the following.

  • Scrape or copy the directory with automated tools in a way that harms the service, overloads the server or reproduces a substantial part of the database
  • Try to get around the security or spam protection of the site
  • Use the contact form to send spam, advertising, harmful content or messages unrelated to the directory
  • Send false information through the contact form, or claim to act for a school you do not represent
  • Use the site for any unlawful purpose

We may block access from any source that breaks these rules.

Intellectual Property

The texts, layout, design and the directory as a compiled database belong to BIGBANG MEDIA, unless stated otherwise, and are protected by French intellectual property law. You may quote a short passage with a link to the page it comes from. Any other reuse needs our written permission, which you can ask for through the contact form.

Some content comes from third parties and keeps its own license.

  • Place names and coordinates come from GeoNames, under CC BY 4.0
  • Map data is © OpenStreetMap contributors, under the Open Database License (ODbL)
  • US registry data comes from the NCES Private School Survey, which is in the public domain
  • Worldwide estimates come from the 2022 Global Montessori Census, under CC BY-NC 4.0
  • Each image carries its own credit and license

School names, logos and trademarks belong to their owners.

Information You Send Us

When you send us a correction or other information about a school, you confirm that it is accurate as far as you know, and you allow us to use it to update and improve the directory. We may edit or decline any requested change. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal data.

Links to Other Sites

The site links to school websites, Google Maps and other third-party sites. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, availability or practices. Their own terms apply when you visit them.

Limitation of Liability

Within the limits allowed by law, BIGBANG MEDIA is not liable for the following.

  • Decisions you make based on information shown on the site, such as choosing, visiting or enrolling in a school
  • Errors, omissions or outdated information in a listing
  • The content of third-party sites, including school websites and Google Maps
  • Interruptions, errors or unavailability of the site
  • Indirect damage resulting from the use of the site

Nothing in these terms limits a liability that cannot be limited under the applicable law, or reduces your rights as a consumer.

Changes to the Service and to These Terms

We may change, suspend or close the site, or any part of it, at any time. We may also update these terms. The date at the top of this page shows the current version, and the version online on the day you use the site applies.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by French law. Any dispute that cannot be settled amicably will be brought before the courts having jurisdiction for the registered office of BIGBANG MEDIA in Laval, France. This does not take away the protection of the mandatory consumer protection rules of the country where you live, or your right to bring a claim before the courts there when the law allows it.
