Ask a Division Head: Why Do Parents Choose a Montessori Education for their Children?

A 2017 study conducted by Association Montessori Internationle (AMI) investigating why parents chose Montessori education for their children found three key reasons why parents selected, and stayed with, Montessori:
1. An emphasis on developing moral, behavioral and emotional skills
2. Highly-qualified and knowledgeable faculty
3. The home-school partnership
What do these top priorities of Montessori families look like at Springmont?
We’re Not Raising Children…We’re Raising Adults
At Springmont, we work with children to develop responsibility, the skills needed to focus on and complete tasks, the value of cooperation, and a friendliness with failure that builds resilience. This enables Springmont students to become capable and competent individuals who are empowered, productive and connected to those around them. Today’s practical life lesson, ‘Going-Out’ trip, community meeting or micro-economy project translates to real-world readiness.
Experts in Content; Experts in Development
With an average of over 15 years’ experience, Springmont faculty are our greatest asset. Their specialized training emphasizes curricular content as well as a deep knowledge of child development. By knowing what children need to know and how they learn best, Springmont teachers guide each child to their highest learning potential.
All for One and One for All
Children do best when home and school work together in a partnership of mutual expertise. Opportunities to observe in the classroom, to help with special projects, to attend parent education evenings and special events are ways to learn more about what your child experiences during his/her school day. Springmont teachers invite questions and observations and will reach out to you with theirs as well.
Springmont delivers a progressive Montessori experience that guides your child towards meaningful discoveries, allowing him/her to become independent, effective and knowledgeable.
