Moving from a Montessori school to another school setting is an issue often raised by parents and family members. Happily, the habits and skills a child develops at Hollis Montessori last a lifetime and students are well prepared no matter where they go. Montessori children tend to be adaptable, working well alone or with a group. They have solid decision-making skills, practical problem solving abilities, and generally manage their time well. Since children in a Montessori classroom are also encouraged to share ideas and discuss their work, fitting into new situations is made easier thanks to good communication skills.
