There are many wonderful school programs in our country. Montessori schools are a great option to consider, especially if you or your child needs stress relief from your current school.

If you don't know how Montessori schooling is different from public schooling, this page will highlight the basics about Maria Montessori (the founder), the educational philosophy used in these classrooms, the progressive curriculum and the many benefits to children of all ages.

My three children have been in a Montessori school over the last 10 years and it's been a perfect match for them.

The most obvious feature of what makes Montessori different from any traditional classroom are the Montessori materials seen on the many open, wooden shelves that are within easy reach of all the young students.

Not only is this a very thoughtful and scientific educational approach, but the teachers are trained in a very extensive and rigorous program that creates very humble, well-spoken, intelligent and warm teacher-guides that respect and nuture your children for several years in a row. These teachers are the heart and soul of the program and they go all out to make learning fun.

In my opinion, this educational environment is the best in the world, bar none. I feel immensely fortunate to have worked in Montessori classrooms, to have my own children in an outstanding Montessori school and to use Montessori principles in my own high school classroom.
