Montessori means so much more than preschool
Montessori education goes well beyond preschool. It is also an innovator in primary and secondary education.
In fact, a 2011 article in The Wall Street Journal suggests that a Montessori education “might be the surest route to joining the creative elite, which are so overrepresented by the school’s alumni that one might suspect a Montessori Mafia: Google’s founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, videogame pioneer Will Wright, and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, not to mention Julia Child...”
Montessori in the primary and secondary ages fosters leadership and vision. It is a model of learning that places children in charge of their own education. It pushes them to evolve into experts ready to take charge in the real world.
