Why no Montessori Upper Grades?

[Anonymous]

Maria Montessori was beginning to think through a curriculum for high school when she passed away. Her ideas are documented in her works, but a full montessori program was not finalized before her death.

So is anyone familiar with how Montessori works in older grades? I'm really intrigued.

Hershey is often considered one of the best "model" programs for older grades: http://www.hershey-montessori.org/adolescentCommunity.cfm

Montessori High School is newer, but it's also one of the model programs: http://www.montessorihighschool.org/

Around here, a few go to 8th grade. I don't know of any high school programs.
