I don't know, sorry.. I am sure that it was the Montessori system though. They even had pictures of Dr. Montessori hanging on the walls. I haven't really looked back into that time in my life, 'til now. I'm not upset, I turned out fine, I just personally feel that in a bigger school I could have become social more quickly by interacting with a wider variety of other kids.

As with everything, different implementors may be better/worse at the same thing. I've certainly seen that with my girl (who was in Montessori as a youngster).

Also, no one approach is perfect for everybody. As frightening as it may sounds, some people need more "structure" than others.
