Lillard’s 2017 book is a comprehensive summary of the developmental psychology underpinning the Montessori method.
In the ten states or regions with the most public Montessori schools, Montessori schools had higher levels of ELA and math proficiency at eighth grade, even when controlling for race and income—in fact, Black, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged students showed the greatest difference, and so-called “achievement gaps” were smaller in Montessori schools.
This comprehensive survey of nearly 2,000 adults with and without Montessori experience in childhood found that attending Montessori for at least two years was associated with significantly higher adult wellbeing on four factors: general wellbeing, engagement, social trust, and self-confidence.
This three-year study of two public Montessori schools in Hartford reduced achievement gaps across income levels and rated Montessori children higher in academic achievement, social cognition, mastery orientation, and school enjoyment. This work is the basis for an ongoing federally funded national study.
The Australian Montessori Training Institute (AMTI) is committed to providing quality Montessori training courses to the Montessori community, and to those interested in becoming qualified in the Montessori Method.
We work closely with public, faith-based individual schools to develop tailor made accessible and affordable Montessori training.
