Students Say:
* “I do believe in Montessori education because I met a few young adults grown from Montessori, all of them have in common: strong individuality, very clear in communication skills, goal centered, humane.”
* Why Montessori Works — “The ‘Child is Leading’ concept is my biggest “aha moment”. I am still digesting this concept in terms of practical use; because it is very different from my own learning experience and parenthood.”
* Assistant Course takeaways – “More fascinating ways of how Montessori schools work and how it helps mold a child and helps them become independent.”
