“No one who has ever done anything really great or successful has ever done it simply because he was attracted by what we call a “reward” or by fear of what we call a “punishment”.... Every victory and every advance in human progress comes from an inner compulsion. ”

How Montessori Education Creates Resilient, Competent Adults

“The only constant in life is change.”  - Heraclitus

 It’s been over two millennia since Heraclitus penned his famous quote, and not only is change still a constant, it’s picked up its pace. Today’s children will work in jobs that don’t exist yet, working to solve problems laden with increasingly higher stakes.

 

So how do we help children grow into adults prepared to take on these challenges? The answer is clear - Montessori education. The Montessori approach is uniquely effective in children grown into resilient, competent, and resourceful individuals who are best equipped to face our future challenges and thrive.
