I appreciate the Montessori Method in that it meets the children where they are. I've always felt that my son is a bit slower at maturing than other children his age. I know he's smart and curious and capable. But not necessarily exactly where the provincial curriculum requires him to be at a specific moment in time. I feel this is defeating for him at times, and takes a toll on his curiosity, personal growth, and willingness to explore and experiment. I had high expectations for the Montessori program at Renfrew Elementary however I do not feel that it is being executed in the best way possible. My hope is that WMA would provide him with an environment where he can gain confidence in who he is, and believe that he is complete and worthy right here and now, which I do not feel that his current school environment puts enough value in and I am starting to see changes in his behaviour that I believe are a direct result of the learning environment in his current school.
