What is Montessori?

Montessori is a teaching method based on the life’s work of Dr. Maria Montessori. The first Montessori school was opened in 1907 and today Montessori schools can be found throughout the world. They continue to operate within the guidelines set by founder, Dr. Maria Montessori, assuming that children are born intelligent but simply learn in different ways and progress at their own pace. The Montessori approach to education is consciously designed to recognize and address different learning styles, helping students learn to study most effectively. Working independently, students progress as they master new skills, moving ahead as quickly as they are ready.
