Montessori is not a one-child-fits-all approach to education, children are encouraged to learn at their own pace and as a result teachers often find that students show better academic performance, emotional maturity and social skills. In fact many go on to lead exceptional lives.
Freedom within limits. This phrase is often used when describing one of the key components of a Montessori school - children learn best when they are given the reins to their education. In that respect Montessori schools are structured to allow students to have an active say in what, when and how they learn, with older students as mentors and teachers as helpful guides.
Special thanks to Humberside Montessori School.

I wanna cry. I went to montessori in our town before it closed. And I am so thankful for how it made me the student that I am now.
Right? I loved being a Montessori kid too!
SueJi Bae could you please tell me why you like your Montessori school? How did it benefit you? How did it change your life? I am interested in learning more a about Montessori children.
SueJi Bae ya at least the one I went to
Why did it close ?
@@mariettahermosa they focused on their other branch two towns away and my mother did not want me to go there because of inconvenience.
I was a Montessori student at age four. I remember the experience really well. I had fun!! It was a sensory experience. I enjoyed it so much.
I’m a high schooler in a Montessori school. I love it and don’t regret transferring. I get to work in our garden, cook and take care of our animals all day. I’m learning how to take care of myself and how to care for other people which I’ve never learned properly.
Ok, and how do you do in, math, sciences etc. Genuine question.
Gardening, cooking, animal care is great, but what about academics for higher education?
@@Optimus-Prime-Rib They enrolled the juniors and senior into the international baccalaureate program. I do well with traditional academics. Scored well with my ACTS. I transferred to a public school for my senior year and I’m in AP classes. Just depends on the school
Edit: My teachers were also really encouraging and motivating to do well in academics so we could be ready for the real world and careers. They taught academics to the younger students following the Montessori methods. Part of our Montessori learning is our choices in what we want to learn about. You want to look into being a zoologist? Great, look into it and we will schedule a time when we can meet a zoologist to learn about what it’s really like. Oh you said you want to be an author? Here is a list of authors we have contact with. Academics aren’t forgotten about, they just aren’t seen as the most important thing in our schooling.
THAT SOUNDS SO FUN!! im jealous haha!
I wish I had gone to a Montessori school as a kid.
Me too snoop dog
My daughter says there's a lot of bullying not on her though, she goes to Parker Woods.
@Clara Johnson no you don't.
Same here, but my parents couldn’t afford it.
Me too
I think parents forget how shitty school is and continuously enroll them in public education because it's considered 'normal'. All schools ought to be like this. Why are we still putting kids in assembly lines.
I know, I didn't like school for the most part and I felt I learned more on the few occasions where the school had practical lessons and was somewhat like this
Because Montessori school costs money and public is free
@@tobaccokitten which is a shame, but they probably don't want kids to be creative and think for themselves. They would rather kids grow up to be dumbed down and compliant
@@bonniestar4707 no it's because Montessori schools are private
@@tobaccokitten doesn't explain why the current system sux
I went to Montessori elementary school, but not middle or high school. I think that's where my parents mess up should continue putting me in the Montessori environments I got bullied in middle and high schools for just learning different then others. I just love small group with other students.
Perhaps they wanted to but weren't able to afford it through high school.
@@ghostcat2467 the Montessori around me is a free public school. But it seems like most other places don’t have a free Montessori around which is sad. I don’t attend it though, because I’m attending the top school in my state and ranked top 10 in the country.
Hi, can you tell me more majors differences? I’d like my niece to have this but I wonder if the transition to a “normal system” in junior high would make her feel like you did .
Thank you for highlighting this child centered way of learning and growing! I love Montessori’s philosophy and practices!
i've been at montessori for 3 years and it's honestly amazing, also for those of u asking if u can go when ur 13,14,15 etc, you can! But it depends on the school. I'm 14 and go to a montessori school :)
is this in america or canada? i’m american
@@staticbeans they have Montessori schools in America
How is it? Is it the same as it is in this video? I feel like Montessori schools would be a little different for older kids than it is in this video
This is the best way of learning something..
My first elementary school closed and a Montessori school took over and I remember growing up feeling very resentful over the fact and had a bad connotation with Montessori schools. I lost many friends and had to change schools, which was a lot for me. ): But now, I see, as a 27 year old, that they aren't that bad at all. I might enroll my child in one, one day.
I am so lucky I am in a Montessori Academy. I am currently in 8th grade which still uses Montessori method. No book and teachers don't show off the grades on some poster or board (tcher just gives report cards to parents personally)
i need to do this with my future kids
No you don’t!
@blackdiamond 0075 They don’t learn, that’s the problem. Children all learn differently, and need directions in a school.
@@pzavis25 Yeah children all learn differently if Montessori School works for them then that's fine.
@@gencas310 NOPE. Especially for children with disabilities.
@@pzavis25 actually Maria Montessori started her practice in the slums of San Lorenzo.Many had disabilities, the children were the poorest of the poor. Overtime they noticed the children becoming more confident, happy and sociable.
I went to Montessori from kindergarten to 5 th grade loved it
I wish my mom never put me in catholic school. I started in montessori school and was thriving and went right downhill when I left. If I have kids I will for sure be taking them to montessori school
Hello, this is Yusuf Abdullah from Montessori I came 7 years ago. Thank you so much for teaching what I know today.
this is great from little kids before preschool/kindergarten.
michelle actually I'm in middle school in a school like this
Yeah it looks like a daycare
I wish that my school experience had been like this
I went to a Montessori school too I LOVE IT
É isso. Criança precisa se movimentar, construir, criar... desenvolver sua criatividade.
I want to be a Montessori teacher, I do not agree with the public education and keeping students in their seats at all times.
Val293 Same here.
i went to montessori and only now realized it wasnt just some private pre-k, it was like, an alternate learning...tbh i remember moving around but not choosing what i wanted to do but i barely remember - i will say, seeing kids doing math on graph paper gave me some nostalgia haha
I will make sure my future children will never experience the regular school system.
Your description of the video (below the video) is a very succinct explanation of the Montessori method. Can I get permission to copy/use it?
thankful this is how I learned
Hi! Please can someone help me with something? How does Montessori guide young people towards careers in terms of qualifications? I'm trying to educate myself on the Montessori approach because I've been biased against it all my life, but I'm newly a teacher myself, and I'm starting to realise just how many kids are simply not made for academic life. Moreover, academia is far from guaranteed to get you what you want and/or need from life, whereas this approach seems to make people much more well-rounded in skillsets from the start. So, with obvious pros like preserving mental health and nurturing innate interests, how else does the Montessori system help young people to find and establish careers in a qualification-obsessed world? Edit: the reason I'm asking on here is because I'd like some anecdotal evidence as well as all the glossy literature available online.
This is my concern. I haven’t got any answers thus far.
From what I am told, when they get to high school age, they spend time interning in several different fields of study in addition to school classes.
This looks like a daycare, do they learn difficult materials? What about complex maths, foreign languages, chemistry, or applying for college?
Obviously. It a school.
Applying for college? Really?
As you see in the video: they have books, they do math and other work by writing. They just don't do tests. Kids hate tests and love being active.
So they basically do wherever they want? But Lear at the same time right?
You should replace those cheap uncomfortable chairs? Can't you see the children struggle to sit in the comfortably? TH-cam provides such an interesting glimpse into schools.
How are students' progress tracked? In other words, how do they move up grade levels without tests and grades? What learning benchmarks are there and how are they tracked?
I went to Montessori and it was *great*
same. I miss it so much
A hundred years ago?!?!
In 1906
And it’s still the best.
@@estefaniaibanezreyes4078 are you kidding me?
Are you behind in education with a Montessori school?
Definitely
@@pzavis25 it entirely depends, Jeff bezos, mark zuckerberg and Larry page went to Montessori schools
@@pzavis25 who asked you? It’s an awesome school you’re just used to the public school no need to make bad comments about it🙄
Plz establish Montessori school in Ramanakkapeta near Nuzveedu krishna District Andhra Pradesh
So , it's kind of like a Sudbury School ?
If it were in our india in my childhood..
Check out beehive montessori school in perth
I would have spent all day learning about history.
I've always grown up in the Montessori School
My child has been to two monasteries and they're nothing as described in this video. They test they sit and the teacher is the boss.
Unfortunately it maybe a school just using the Montessori name.
tôi rất muốn cho con tôi học trong môi trường này
my dad recommended this for me.... not only am I 13, I just think he was kidding...Right??!?!?!
Think its different for different ages im new to the concept
“the teacher’s not in charge” *laughs in primary Montessori teacher*
I go to a Montessori school. The teacher tells us what too do. There are a lot of mean people. It’s not as great as it looks
No, it is just you have a bad teacher who does not understand anything about Montessori
I USED TO GO TO MONTESSORI HA
I love it.
No you don't.
Sounds kinda like my Montessori school
I saw janet
i go to this school lol
I went to one of these.
It was hell
Montessori is an absolute joke. Fuck Montessori!
Why
I’m in mis :)
It should be for every child but it's not..
This is all good, except... the premise is cultish. Teachers/guides should exemplify the method and adapt. Whenever they quote Dra. M, same as quoting LR Hubbard, Mohammed, Jesus, et al
Jeff bezos, mark zuckerberg and Larry page all went to Montessori schools
like por los que vinieron poque los mando su profe
Montessori schools are a complete waste of time! I was advised by all of my business partners to not send my son there; I ignored the advice and sent him there. This is an outdated system and the bottom line is them making money. Their policies are a mess; children have no sense of anything there. I pulled my son from there and he is excelling so much. This school stumped his academic growth. Highly advise - do not send your child to these schools. Private is not always better than public. At least public schools are regulated.
Montessori schools are not monolithic. There are many good Montessori schools.
Montessori was created in 1907 and public education during industrial revolution ~1850 so it's more outdated. Every child is different and there is no general advice where to go for everyone. That's why freedom is such a big value. It lets everyone choose. Make their own decisions. Glad you and your kid found your way but there is no reason for anyone to listen and follow same path.
The One lol go to a free one its amazing
I completely agree with you, there's a line and the school in this video crossed it, it's absolutely ridiculous that their not learning what normal kids learn, I mean, how are they gonna manage when they graduate high school? Cause I haven't graduated school yet, but even I know their not going to "get to learn at their on pace" and do whatever the hell they want, some kids might go into high school not knowing a thing because they were aloud to read stories and do colouring sheets in school all day, they need to know how to do math and proper grammar, these kinds of schools just have kids in their own bubble
I feel like these schools are not pushing the limits of these kids, looks too easy
