[quote=Anonymous]It really depends on how committed you are to staying with the Montessori model, which as you know is vastly different from all other choices out there (public and private). There are certainly private Montessori middle and HS in the DMV. Our situation was we ended up sending our kids to Montessori through 1st grade then made the shift to our neighborhood public school. It was a huge change: strong focus on testing, no more self directed learning, no exploring topics because they interested you, very little group work, teacher decides everything, and worst of all lots of time spent on preparing kids for state testing. If I could have done it all over again, I might have pushed harder to keep them in that environment a little longer. [/quote]
