What is Montessori?
“Montessori” is both a name and a recognized system of education. The founder of the system of education, Dr Maria Montessori (1870-1952), was by any measure an extraordinary individual, a mind way before her time, controversial and influential. Her system has shaped the minds of many of our greatest innovators, to name but a few, the founders of Google, Amazon, and Wikipedia.
The first Montessori school was started by Dr Maria Montessori in 1907 in Italy. There are currently approximately 600 Montessori schools in South Africa alone.
Hundreds of websites found on the Internet outline the events of Dr Montessori’s life and detail the pros and cons of the system she developed. The system remains controversial but the evidence of the lives of the children who have graduated from Morning Star Montessori speak for themselves.
Before you make a final decision regarding your child’s education we invite you equip yourself with all the information at hand and to ask yourself ...
“What will be the kind of person who will not only survive but thrive in an uncertain future? Because, then as now, life will require strength of character, uprightness and wisdom and not only the mere accumulation of facts.”
We invite you to make an informed decision.
