What happens when children go from a Montessori class to a traditional class?
Whether the child attends another private school or goes on to public school, Montessori education provides an excellent background for traditional education. Studies show that Montessori children adjust well and are generally among the better students. They spend their time more productively because of their self-direction and positive attitudes toward learning. Most children appear to adjust readily to new classroom situations. In all likelihood, this is because they have developed a high degree of self-discipline and independence in the Montessori environment, and because of the adaptability of young children in general. If there is an adjustment period, it is usually short and the child adapts quickly.
