[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved the Spanish piece at LAMB (bilingual family) but I felt like the Montessori piece (maybe specifically LAMB's approach to it) didn't really work for my DS.  He is shy and reserved and the approach of letting the kids choose their own "work" activities resulted in him sitting by himself transferring beads from bowl to bowl most of the time.  Just something to consider if your kid is similar.  We ended up moving to Ward 3 and the more traditional pre-k at our IB was a better fit

This.  We chose another Spanish charter because of the issue of Montessori in the upper grades.  It’s great for ECE and K but Montessori doesn’t work for many kids in the upper grades.  Most kids need structure and made to do some things that are hard or they don’t like.  DS would choose to do what he likes or comes easy and not out any effort into harder things.  Some kids are self motivated and Montessori might work in the upper grades but the majority of kids need a lot more structure [/quote]
