Because your child is developing his social consciousness, his leadership and human organization skills emerge naturally in a multi-age grouping that is characteristic of a Montessori environment.

Grace and courtesy continue to be refined. Confidence in self-expression is built up. Interpersonal relationships are secured. His idea of society becomes formed.

By the time he reaches 12 years of age, your child who began his journey in a Montessori environment some 10 years ago has now acquired a fairly good amount of knowledge comparable perhaps to someone a few years his senior in a traditional school.

"There is, then, a unity within the school, a real atmosphere of community work, a chance of real social life, where each age can help benefit from the others."

- Margaret Stephenson

Your child has his moral bearings anchored, wherein your home values play a major and a very important part. He has more than a glimpse of his possible place in the society of adults. He has been equipped with enthusiasm for the adventure of life.

Your child is now ready to move on.
