How do the children adapt to a different educational institution upon leaving The Village School? When is the best time to make this transition?
Many of our students who have gone on to public, parochial, and other private schools have provided us with positive feedback regarding their adjustment. In general, the older the child, the easier the transition. This is in part because the method of teaching becomes more similar between Montessori and other schools with increasing grade levels. Most significant, however, is the level of confidence in learning that the child develops in a Montessori environment. This proves a great asset in any situation. The Middle School children utilize typical textbooks and take tests on material studied as a preparation for high school. Extended Day and Lower Elementary students are accustomed to conducting research, working both individually and in small groups. They are active learners. All this serves as valuable preparation for any educational setting.
