"The child who has felt a strong love for his surroundings and for all living creatures, who has discovered joy and enthusiasm in work, gives us reason to hope that humanity can develop in a new direction.

"Our hope for peace in the future lies not in the formal knowledge the adult can pass on to the child, but in the normal development of the new man." 
   

-- Dr. Maria Montessori
Education and Peace, page 58

We recently received the results from the CAT 4th Edition Standardized Grade 1 testing, and we are pleased to announce that our Grade 1 students were ranked within the 94th-98th percentile, and overall have the equivalency of a grade 3.6/3.9 student. In addition, our Early Elementary students scored well above the national average in reading, writing, and mathematics. We would like to congratulate all of our students and teachers for their efforts and achievements this past year! Hope you all have a restful and well deserved summer break, and all the best to our students who are graduating and venturing off onto new educational endeavors!

On our Toonie for Autism Day held in April, each school raised the following amounts: LaSalle Montessori raised $128.00, Lakeshore Montessori raised $159.00, and the South Windsor location raised $271.00! Way to go everyone!
