Thank you to those parents who recently attended our Elementary Admissions Information Meeting. Remember, if you have a child who is moving into 1st or 4th grade next year, this meeting is MANDATORY for both parents. Also, if you are currently still in process of deciding whether your Kindergartner or 3rd grader will continue with us next year, we recommend you come to the next meeting where Margaret, our Elementary and Middle School Program Head, will answer your questions regarding curriculum as well as social develpment of Elementary age students. Many of the attendees of our meeting last Friday were especially excited by the brief overview of the Montessori Math materials.
During the meeting some questions were raised about Montessori students transitioning to schools with a more traditional approach to education. Tim Seldin wrote an article entitled “What are the real benefits of sending a child to Montessori?” which sufficiently explains the ways in which Montessori children are prepared to transition to other environments. I recommend this article for any parent who has a child enrolled in a Montessori program or who is considering a Montessori education for their child. Read Tim Seldins article here…
