Advice History
Montessori School
In 2007 Montessori celebrated 100 years of education. The first center was opened in 1907 in Rome, Italy. The ?Washington Post? wrote an article on the progress of the movement (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/01/AR2007010100742_pf.html). With an estimated 5,000 Montessori schools in the U.S., this teaching philosophy is still going strong. But be warned, its teaching style is not for everyone. If you expect an education filled with tests, homework and a structured setting, Montessori may not be for you. The overall philosophy of this learning environment is to learn from what interests the child, develop their interests and grow from them. Not exactly the No Child Left Behind theory.
