I went to this school when I was young - from 2nd grade to 6th. Not only am I still friends with the kids I met there (my best friend is the same one form second grade, and I regularly keep in touch with 4 other guys from the school), but the education I received carried me well through Junior year of high school. I remember one day Junior year in PreCalculus sitting and being taught trigonometry and realizing that I was doing that in 6th grade at Maria Montessori, just on a more visual, tangible level.
This education has made me who I am today and is why I feel I have been successful so far. I am currently a Sophomore at Washington University in St. Louis in their Art and Architecture school studying design.
Pros: The best learning experience anywhere, hands down.
Cons: None!
