The Montessori Schools
"Our aim is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize,but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his inmost core."
Maria Montessori

The Montessori school system is perhaps the most widely known school of its type. With a lineage that started in Rome with Dr. Montessori's day care center in 1907, these wonderful schools blossomed into an American nationwide system of licensed schools and educators that feature children as "independent learners." The American Montessori Society (AMS) was eventually founded in 1960. Their unique application of revolutionary teaching methods seems to have been written to match what we have all been describing as necessary for the Indigo children's education.
