[quote=Anonymous]Montessori and non-montessori parents may be interested in a study done by the State University of New York titled “Comparison of Academic Achievement between Montessori and Traditional Education Programs” for the Association for Childhood Education International. A couple of quotes from the study: “Results of the study failed to support the hypothesis that enrollment in a Montessori school was associated with higher academic achievement.” “No statistically significant differences on math and reading achievement scores were found between students who attended Montessori versus other preschool programs. The study controlled for income and ethnic differences to isolate the impact of the Montessori method vs having parents with more money and education.
