Over eons of time, many methods of educating children have been developed. The Montessori Method is highly interactive and noted for its partnership between the school and home. Montessori tailors its classrooms to the children. All chairs, shelves and other equipment are sized for the children. Children learn to set their own pace, plan their education and develop greater independence. Montessori’s focus is to help children learn in an environment comfortable to their size. Correspondingly, families are encouraged to provide similar child-friendly sized things in their homes. The Montessori Method’s intent is that children gain independence, creativity and social skills. Montessori supports individuality, self-regulation, and self-worth. Many famous people were privileged to have been educated in the Montessori Method including Jackie Kennedy, George Clooney, and Larry Page. Historically, students who have gone through the system have higher graduation rates, strong independent tendencies and the ability to be a self-starter.
