and Lee is.

Lamb is looking to lease this space already.

And if LAMB isn't real Montessori (which is also a lie people in new, unimpressive schools tell themselves), give me whatever it is they are serving.

I hesitated to respond to this because this thread is not about what schools are and are not "real" Montessori. But you are clearly ignorant as to what the method is and are hyper sensitive about your school not making the AMI cut. Or perhaps you don't want the truth out so you can keep other ignorant folks under the impression that LAMB is oh so impressive. LAMB is montessori in name only- they are based very loosely on the method. In fact, I could open a school in my basement, throw the word montessori in the name and it would be LAMB. There are no criteria or standards for AMS Montessori. Whether or not you are impressed with any of the other Montessori programs in the area is irrelevant since you so obviously don't even have the slightest clue as to what it really is.

You Lee parents are quite harsh. Crazy you've only been in school a year. You have a lot to endure. Calm down.

Lamb is a fantastic school. Not having got in, I'm very glad to have gotten into an Ami Montessori because it means I can trust the curriculum. But lamb is an amazing school. Lee gas been wonderful, but just one year in, the ami part matters in ways it doesn't for a decades ok proven school.

you don't know that was a lee parent. maybe just a Montessori purist. agree it was harsh. both good schools - one new and exciting with a purist curriculum; on tried and proven with solid results.

Thank you PP, you are so correct. And I am not a Lee parent. LAMB parents (and some administrators based on my conversations with them) couldnt tell you the difference between AMS or AMI and don't even know what those letters stand for. I don't have a problem with this, but don't insist that it is real Montessori when you don't know what you are talking about.

Harsh PP here - I am not a Lee parent. DC is enrolled at a traditional DCPS.
When deciding what schools to look at I did the research so that I could make an informed choice, rather than an ignorant one. I looked closely at Montessori, Waldorf and Reggio methods. That being said, had we gotten j to Lee we would've jumped in it. Fingers crossed for next year.

I agree with the Lee parents here. Certification from some outside third party private organization is the MOST important aspect of a school.

Keep telling yourselves that!

- no dog in this fight as I'm a dcps parent but TIRED of lee parents talking about ami certification as if your kids are going to list that on their college applications.

Would you also be a tier one school? Would you also teach the kids Spanish including Spanish grammar? In that case please put my kids name on your list. There are about 800 more who'd be interested. My kid was in the 400s for the pk3 lamb list.

Go back to school and learn how to read. Nobody said it was the MOST important. You are ignorant and illiterate. At your age you should be ashamed.

it isn't a lee parent but a lamb parent and a dcps parent who are talking about the importance of ami in this thread

I am a lee parent and I do think AMI important, but it isn't like lee even has it yet. What they do have are teachers who know their shit. But that is harder to quantify.

You can calm down. The person you are responding to is not a Lee parent. Most Lee parents are very new to Montessori, and certainly don't have animosity toward Lamb. (Many applied there). However, pp is correct that Lamb is not as strict about following Montessori as Lee or other schools seeking AMI certification, for better or worse.

Take another look at the thread and then tell me which Lee parents have said this is important. I am a Lee parent and haven't heard it mentioned once. Not one single time by any parent.

there were three people who mentioned ami in this thread - I am one and a lee parent - the other two talked about themselves as a dcps parent and a lamb parent.

I do value ami (was at a Montessori school before lee so not new to it), but since since lamb was my first choice, I obviously don't think it THAT important. Love Lee and wouldn't leave it for any school . . . except Lamb. I mean, come on, an immersion Montessori (even if it was Montessori lite)! What can compete with that? Maybe an ami certified Montessori language immersion school that teaches susuki method violin and swimming?
