Montessori developed a full program through middle school, and there are thousands of Montessori elementary programs around the world. The Montessori elementary approach offers incomparable opportunities to develop collaboration, problem-solving, and project management skills. The Montessori elementary materials offer advanced math concepts such as extracting square and cube roots by hand, as well as detailed language analysis work which prepares your child to read and write with enthusiasm and discernment. \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The short answer is, \u201cMore Montessori is better.\u201d Montessori children consistently excel when they transfer to another school. It may take a few weeks or months to adapt, then they settle in as they learn to navigate their new environment. The Montessori approach develops all the foundational executive functioning skills (concentration, problem-solving, planning, organizing, impulse-control) and provides an incomparable foundation in academics. The longer your child stays in Montessori, the more leadership and collaboration skills they develop, and the more attuned they become to positive social relationships, giving them the discernment to consistently choose good friends in their future. \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

In a Montessori classroom, you\u2019ll see children focused deeply on a task, sometimes moving freely around the room, laughing and excited about choosing their next work. You\u2019ll see teachers working with a single child or with small groups, sharing lessons exactly at each child\u2019s level. You\u2019ll see older children developing leadership skills as mentors, role models, and collaborative learners, and you\u2019ll see younger children inspired by the older children\u2019s work. Research shows that the joyful Montessori experience works – that it provides social, emotional, and academic opportunities that give your child the opportunity to thrive.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

An authentic Montessori school follows Maria Montessori\u2019s original methodology, and therefore sees the results Montessori herself observed: peaceful and happy children who see themselves as capable individuals and who learn – joyfully – much more than they do in typical schools. Montessori, Italy\u2019s first female medical doctor and engineer, used her scientific training to develop her comprehensive method based on meticulous observations and a lifetime of work with children. She designed a training and accreditation system to ensure that teachers could learn to follow her method closely in order to recreate the astonishing results she achieved. Modern research has consistently shown that her approach works <\/span>when<\/span><\/i> her original methodology is followed. This is why an authentic Montessori school makes every effort to closely follow Montessori\u2019s principles and practices. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The benefits of bilingualism go well beyond simply being able to communicate with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Bilingual children also demonstrate better planning, problem-solving, and decision-making skills; are more flexible and adaptable; show improved concentration and focus; and have better language skills all-around. Though bilingual children may take longer to reach early milestones in speaking, reading, and writing, they typically catch up with and surpass their monolingual peers by age 9, demonstrating enhanced cognitive abilities and advanced executive function skills.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The biggest concern in shifting to a typical school format after Montessori is that your child may be bored. Montessori children consistently excel in life and in academics. Research shows that authentic Montessori programming does exactly what Montessori wanted it to do: it prepares children for life! After leaving a Montessori program, children adjust in a few months, then adapt to the different method, drawing on the skills they\u2019ve developed in Montessori: leadership, problem-solving, focus, planning, and more; as well as a strong academic foundation, typically well above their grade level. Bilingual children tend to catch up to (and typically surpass) their peers linguistically at around age 9. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
