Montessori or Conventional: What’s Best for Your Family?
Montessori or Traditional?
You already know that Montessori is different from conventional education methods. You may have heard some folks rave about the benefits while others share their doubts. The truth is, there are a lot of differences. Montessori education is nothing like the type of schooling that most children experience - including us adults when we were children.
Understanding the differences can help you decide whether or not Montessori might be a good fit for your family. We invite you to read the comparison below, then come see for yourself. Visiting our classroom environments in person is the very best way to understand our approach.
When viewing this chart please keep two important points in mind:
- All schools are different. There is no one standard for conventional or Montessori educational settings. The statements below are generalizations, though widely considered accurate.
- You may see similar charts like this floating around the internet. Ours is different in that we aim to provide factual, observational comparisons. The intention is not to convince you that Montessori is somehow better, but to assist you in your decision making process. We do, of course, believe in the validity of our methods, but we fully acknowledge that Montessori is not the best fit for every family.
Warm regards,
