[quote=Anonymous]Our DS will be turning 6 this November, and we are really confused whether to let him continue at his Montessori school for K or send him to our local public school. He has been going to this Montessori school for 2 years now and kind of doing well, but the problem is that he will be an eldest kid in the class (6 years in few months). There will be 3-4 other kindergarten kids in his Montessori class (all of them close to 5 year age), and the rest of the kids will be 3 or 4 year olds (almost half and half).

The Fairfax public elementary school is kind of mediocre in our area. So, we are planning to move to a different area and eventually want to send him to the public school system.

We are really confused whether this montessori option is good for him or not. And, not sure if he will be socially bored or will have social issues in future when going to public 1st grade.

Would like to hear from other montessori parents that have done this before, do you regret keeping your kid in the montessori school rather than joining the kindergarten? Will joining public school at 1st grade be difficult in terms of social and academic life? Would also love to hear from other Montessori parents who moved their kids in Kindergarten.

We have read a few forums and talked to a few people, but we are not able to decide about would be best for him. I would appreciate if you can provide your thoughts or comments, or tell us about your experiences. Thank you so much in advance !!
