With the first Montessori Classroom founded by Maria Montessori in 1907 in Italy, Montessori education has been implemented for 103 years. Montessori education is experiencing a renaissance in the United States as a component of today's school reform movement. Multi-age classes, a rich and extensive curriculum implemented with hands-on materials, cross-discipline learning, and care and respect of people and the global environment are just a few of the innovative characteristics of Montessori education.

In a Montessori class, interactive learning occurs in an environment carefully prepared by an educator trained to work with children of that specific age group. In a non-graded class of mixed ages, the children spontaneously and independently use materials designed by Dr. Montessori. They choose their own activities and develop practical and intellectual abilities through individual discovery and exploration of language, mathematics, geography, geometry, art and music.
