I learned everything I know through the Montessori education system. What is this way of teaching? To different people this question has different answers. To me, at least, being a Montessori student means being an individual... you have the chance to learn things at your own pace, in a natural way… in your way. You get to find out who you are, and that’s something very special." - Vincent V., Class of 2019
