The Montessori Method was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in Italy over 100 years ago. It's one of the biggest alternative educational methods.
The Montessori pedagogy was built on observations of children around the world, with special materials developed through trial and error.
Its main aim is to cater to the development of children by adapting their environment so they can thrive and grow.
Academic learning happens as a by-product of personality development.

Montessori schools don't teach as such. Instead, the "guide" connects the student with special learning materials that develop the needed concepts and skills.
