Austin Montessori School Alumni Parent Voices
Choosing a Montessori education for our children goes against the grain of traditional schooling and popular culture in many ways. Parents contemplating a full commitment to Montessori through early adolescence frequently ask questions such as:
- Where do AMS adolescents who complete three years at Gaines Creek go on to attend high school?
- How does the AMS adolescent experience support a child’s academic, social, and emotional growth, enabling them to navigate the environment of a traditional high school?
How can parents support their children as they transition to a new, non-Montessori environment, fostering resilience and growth through this period of adolescent change? - What traits do Montessori alums possess that differentiate them from their peers and drive them to pursue initiatives that make a difference in the world?
Join us on Wednesday, December 4, at 6:30 pm for a panel discussion with Austin Montessori School alumni parents whose children transitioned to various high schools. They will speak of their experiences as they consider, with the benefit of hindsight, how a Montessori education best served their children and family. Grae Baker, Head of School, will moderate the discussion. Learn more about each of our panelists here.
