Love for Montessori

Katie Christensen — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 05:00:45 +0000

The school was buzzing Tuesday with the excitement of Valentine’s Day! Classrooms beautifully decorated, an abundance of red and pink, ice skating, bowling, and a middle school dance are Valentine’s traditions at MSE. These annual traditions provide lifelong memories, and are also rites of passage in a sense as students move from one level to the next. Thank you, parents and teachers, for all your help in planning, driving, baking, and decorating!

I also want to thank all of the families that came to Tuscany Tavern Sunday night – what fun!

Lastly, the conversation about the benefits of a Montessori education continues. The evidence from an article published in Science Magazine two years ago detailed a longitudinal study that resulted in both long- and short-term academic and social gains for Montessori students over peers who had been educated in a traditional setting. Angeline Lillard’s book, The Science Behind the Genius, furthered the conversation. Since that time, numerous pieces have been published in The Wall Street Journal and New York Times, amongst others. If you would like to peruse these, check them out under the Resources section of the MSE website. Last week, the following article came out in the Huffington Post — montessori-education-debate_b_1237451.html. I thought you might be interested in the perspective. Let the discussion continue!

Enjoy the long weekend,
