How well do Patience Montessori School students handle the transition to new schools when they leave?
Exceedingly well! Guidance counselors and admissions officers from the area’s most demanding private and public schools consistently report that Montessori students excel in their new environments because of their knowledge base, their poise and confidence, and their eagerness to learn. We have a reputation for working with children to help them become “confident achievers.” But in a larger sense, the Montessori philosophy is better measured by the characteristics its graduates have in common: a lifelong love of learning, strong skills, honed problem-solving ability, self-confidence, finely honed social skills, and a strong social conscience. The records of prominent Montessori graduates speak for themselves: Sergey Brin and Larry Page of Google, Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Bill Clinton, Julia Child, and many other notable figures.
