How does Montessori fit in with testing requirements?
This is something we have addressed since the beginning. While the scope of the Montessori curriculum matches up with that of the traditional school, the sequence does not. Montessori students complete a three-year curriculum at their own pace and therefore may not always have received the curriculum that is being tested at the time the test is administered. By the end of sixth grade, the Montessori students will have received all of the same curriculum that their traditional track peers have received. Nationally, Montessori students have scored at or above the level of their traditional school peers.
