The ideal size of a Montessori class is 25-30. New classes begin with 12-15 pupils and gradually increase in size as the year progresses. It is important that there are not too few pupils in the class; the teacher’s job is not to teach in the usual sense, but to encourage the child to “learn how to learn.” The teacher is called a directress.
