| If you are a public school district administrator wondering if there’s an alternative approach to education that would benefit ALL the children in your district, you will find your answer here. Often considered an education suitable only for a private school setting, increasingly the Montessori approach is being adopted by public schools with remarkable results. Though startling to some, families and educators familiar with AMI Montessori are not surprised at the benefits public school children have derived from a Montessori education. Currently eight public school districts across the country have joined the AMI Montessori school community. These districts have discovered that Montessori’s approach is not only being supported and validated by current academic research in the field of education, it is also reinforced by researchers in the fields of neuroscience, brain development, human development, and child psychology. Most importantly for school administrators, studies are showing that Montessori programs in public schools are effective with students based on the outcomes of the required academic testing.
