America (and, increasingly the rest of the world) is currently obsessed with competition and external standards. As a result, many Montessori schools have modified Montessori by giving letter grades at the elementary level to be more reassuring to anxious parents. We recommend against this practice, although we acknowledge it is a fairly wide spread occurrence. Last Updated (Monday, 27 September 2010 12:58)

Useful Resources for the Outcomes of Montessori Education
High School Outcomes for Montessori Students : Link to article in Journal of Research in Childhood Education, "High School Outcomes for Students in a Public Montessori Program. This research shows significantly higher math/science scores for high school students who attended Montessori programs to 5th grade. Last Updated (Wednesday, 29 December 2010 06:46) |
My daughter, now 8 years old, brought me to Montessori. She began at a Montessori school when she was 3 years old. I was amazed at how she transformed from an active child who always seemed to be getting into trouble into one who was confident and responsible. She was more independent than ever, but learned to channel her energy. Rather than being bored, she had become focused and content.
When she finished her three years in the Montessori primary classroom, we realized it was time to make a change. Her Montessori school did not offer an elementary program. Our local public school is consistently rated in the top 10 in the state. Our older daughter went to the local school. It seemed like an easy decision…she would go to public school.
