What is the difference between public and private Montessori?
One main difference is the difference in funding sources; public Montessori schools are supported in the same manner as other public schools; private Montessori schools are funded through tutition fees, fundraising and other private sources. Also public Montessori schools are subject to the mandates of federal and state education boards and private have a greater degree of freedom to implement the Montessori Philosophy as they see fit.
