Hi Psyguy,
what about Stims?
They claim to be a Montessori international Swedish curriculum school, with focus in English and Mandarin.
Just the whole thing makes me wonder....
Previously they claimed seeking for IB accreditation but this has disappeared from their website.
No idea whether their Montessori accreditation is real or fake.

I dont have a lot of experience with Montessori education. You have to understand that I've worked with people who have, and there are certification programs for teachers. Their is an accrediting agency in the USA for Montessori schools (Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education), and there is aa non profit organization/association in the UK "Montessori Education(UK)" (though they arent really an accrediting agency. Montessori education isnt really regulated and the name controlled in Sweden, and many parts of europe. In many instances you just have to see if it "looks" like Montessori.
