Are you recommending Montessori beyond k-1? Are it even available for that stage? One thing that made me wonder was if these "famous" people only went to Motesorri pre-school or all the way through in higher grades. The reason I'm asking is because if it's only preschool then benefit seems to be too high and questionable.

The Montessori my kids attended in NC went through middle school. I believe the Montessori my first child started at in CA went through high school.

I went through a Montessori school until year 7, and I think it was very good for me, although I'm not sure how well it would have suited high school for me (the school I was at offered until year 12 but there were very few students who were there last year 7).

I am not recommending it, I'm merely pointing at it.

I do not have any knowledge about it (neither myself nor my own children), other than what I've read. I do subscribe to the idea, though.
