How to get into public Montessori later on

[Anonymous]

The middle school is not a true Montessori middle school. Some people are fine with that though. I've heard they try to make it more like traditional school to appease parents who are worried their children won't know what to do with getting graded once they get into high school.

The middle school isn't Montessori at all. The 7th and 8th grade teachers aren't Montessori trained. The kids are though, which means they continue to learn like Montessori kids, inquisitive and self-directed learning, not much memorization. That was something I couldn't understand until my kids aged out of Montessori and entered regular public school. It's just different.

My child was also placed on the waitlist (#83). Do you know how many students, if any, get off the waitlist?

What year are you applying for?

If pre-k 3, possibly you are in or close.

Other ages, no chance.
