[quote=Anonymous]They really don't accrediate Montessori programs past 6th grade. Maria Montessori developed the program and that was her vision, that kids would need to be working on their farm. Personally I attended Montessori through 6th grade, along with my siblings. But it was a different time - the 70's! I was plenty prepared for junior high/middle school, as the material presented in a true Montessori elementary program in my opinion is presented in a way that is more concrete and less abstract, so kids tend to hang on to the information more easily. More manipulating materials versus memorization. No homework cause kids were working the whole time they were in school. But again, that's just my opinion. It worked for me and my family. I had hoped for it for my own children, but D.C. is so incredibly competitive and the private schools have totally taken over. Just a different time I guess.[/quote]
