Benefits of Montessori Education

Although Montessori education began over one hundred years ago, it is more relevant today than ever.

Part of the reason Montessori education is the fastest growing form of education in the country is that it prepares students for the 21st century world in a way that adapts to each child’s unique learning style and character.

Montessori education, carried out faithfully at Thacher, helps students be self-motivated and confident, independent and creative, and culturally literate learners who value collaboration and social action. Recent educational and neurological research about learning and brain development reinforce the tenets of a quality Montessori education such as found at Thacher Montessori School.

Since joining Thacher, my three-year-old son's vocabulary, curiosity, and creativity have exploded. He regularly introduces new ideas into our mealtime conversation, whether discussing the life cycle of frogs, naming specific species of birds as they fly by the window, or perfecting his comedy act with new jokes he got from friends at lunch.”

The benefit of having your child at Thacher is that, in addition to giving them the best academic education possible, your child leaves Thacher with real and permanent self-knowledge.”

Thacher is helping my 3-year old become an independent child by encouraging self-advocacy and self-awareness. The love and nurturing she receives as she is developing leaves me grateful and proud. Gwen's Guide allows her to be who she is as an individual.”
