The Montessori approach empowers children to explore and learn new concepts and ideas. They tend to solve problems themselves and think independently. The complex concepts are understood concretely, and after several repetitions, they master the concepts to further move to abstraction, unlike the traditional schools where children are taught in the abstract and rote method. They move ahead at a faster pace since they are often studying these concepts with great personal interest. Hence these self-motivated children are invariably ahead of children from traditional schools.
