Montessori education is like a choose-your-own-adventure story because it empowers children to take charge of their own learning journey. Students are encouraged to explore their interests and make choices about what, when, and how they learn, fostering a sense of independence and curiosity. Just as in a choose-your-own-adventure book, each decision shapes their path, leading to unique experiences and discoveries. This approach nurtures critical thinking and problem-solving skills, preparing them for the adventures ahead in life. In the slides below are scenarios that children in our Montessori classrooms may encounter, grounded in the words of Maria Montessori herself.
