How Do We Rate With the School System?

The big question on all our lips is "How will our children integrate into a conventional school?"

By the time a Montessori student reaches year 6, he or she will have covered the curriculum set by the NSW Board of Studies, the same as every other school. Their advantage will be the love of learning, which is of course the Montessori difference.

Regardless of where they go - private or public school, Montessori students take with them a positive attitude to learning and to life attracting similar positive feedback. They exhibit high self-esteem, social skills, well developed organisational skills and the ability to work with others. They are inquisitive and ask pertinent questions.
