We see a lot of common values between the Montessori education system and what we have been trying to inculcate in our child. The ones that resonate the most with us are -

- Development of the will, freedom within limits, choice and responsibility
- Collaboration and cooperation rather than competition
- Self evaluation and accountability
- Giving acknowledgement instead of praise
- Individual pace and progress in character development

The classroom observation convinced us that this is exactly what we are looking for.
