The child-centered approach of Montessori, emphasizing independence and personal responsibility, is the type of experience that leads to an accomplished student who is comfortable with an independent approach to learning. Continuing a Montessori education provides consistent reinforcement that can prove to be invaluable to the first year university or college student. “Providing a Montessori education today may have added benefits for tomorrow. That is one of the reasons we selected Montessori for our child.” Doug McCann, Ph.D. Department of Psychology York University Toronto, Canada.
