Fall 2017 Newsletter- text version

Year 3!

Parents continue to recommend us to family & friends! This year we had many more applicants than we could take. We wish we had more space!

New Research Confirms Benefits of Montessori!

3-to-6-year-olds in public Montessori schools show increased:

-       academic achievement

-       social understanding

-       mastery orientation (perseverance at difficult tasks)

-       enjoyment of school

compared to peers at other public and private schools.  

Typically, low-income children have lower academic performance, and the “income achievement gap” increases over time. However, low-income Montessori students in this study kept pace with higher-income peers, overcoming this “income achievement gap” in their 3 years of Montessori education. (Read more about the new research on our blog, from this summary, or straight from the research publication)

We are encouraged by this affirmation that the Montessori education we provide children in Camden can have a lasting impact on their lives.

We can't do it alone!
