Mar 21, 2017
Choosing to send our kids to an independent school was a tough decision. First of all, there was the commute — we live in SF and Marin Montessori is nearly 30 minutes from our house. Then, their was the idea of committing to a non-traditional style of education — my wife and I both went to traditional schools and were concerned about “handing off” the responsibility to educate our child to MMS. Finally, there was the price — there are lots of good, free public schools in SF so, why would we send our kids to private school? After very careful consideration, we decided to send our eldest to Marin Montessori and that has been amongst the best decisions of his young life. First, the commute on the bus provided by MMS not only worked seamlessly into our busy lives, it became a highlight of our son’s day. He routinely recounts his bus adventures (sometimes its the only part of his day he shares) from learning about peregrine falcons to discussing bridges, to spending time with older kids. What once seemed “non-traditional” education has transformed into a truly holistic education. Our son is learning all of the academics he needs for his age but there is equal focus on his happiness, his ability to take care of himself, identifying his style of learning and articulating what and how he contributes to collaborations with his peers. MMS has shown us that school is not about preparing for college, it’s about preparing for life. Finally, private school is expensive and, at times, that expense can be hard to justify. A good friend shared with me that she was only able to justify the expense of an independent school if she was able to understand how the school benefited her WHOLE family. The Montessori culture of empathy and collaboration; the community of families that deeply value education (and educators); and the knowledge and experience of the staff of teachers and support our kids together have made it easy to justify our choice to send our kids to MMS. Thank you MMS!
