From observing Lucas at home and at CEFA currently, we have noticed that he tends to excel in areas of his interest and does better with self-directed learning rather than being forced to learn subjects in a particular order.  Therefore, we believe that his natural learning style is in keeping with the montessori method where children can learn at their own pace and with the right support and guidance has some responsibility over their own learning. In general, we would like Lucas to develop a passion for learning and become a self-directed learner and we feel that being taught by the montessori method would help to foster this growth and help with his future success both academically and socially.
