The Results
The Montessori Method is a unique educational approach with benefits that extend well beyond the years our students' early school years. Our students go on to have successful high school and college careers - scoring competitively with their peers on standardized tests. Perhaps more importantly though, they gain the skills they need to succeed outside the classroom: respect, grace, responsibility, resourcefulness, independence, and cooperation. Learning in these "soft skills" are woven throughout the Montessori curriculum and help them navigate the challenges of adult live and become engaged and conscientious citizens who contribute to their families, communities and the world around them. The Montessori method has been scientifically measured in multiple studies as well. Here are links to just a few:

This environment naturally teaches children self-discipline, and it refines important skills like concentration, self-control and motivation.”
