About US

One of the biggest reasons why I am the way I am today as a student and as a person is how I was taught in Montessori. I find that having gone to La Maison all the way until I was 10 has continued to benefit me even still at the age of 20, as it was in those developmental years where I became a diligent student who was motivated to do schoolwork, not because I had to but because I wanted to. It was this desire to learn and have an inquiring mind that shaped me to be someone who works hard at doing well in school, it was more of an intrinsic motivation to do well. My time in Montessori was impactful not only because I developed my love for learning but it also taught me how to be independent. Being in a classroom that is free flowing without being constricted by rows of desks and a hard-set curriculum at a young age allowed me to teach myself and gave me the ability to accomplish things at my own pace, doing my work without any pressure of being forced to do something because I was told to. I think that the easy-going learning style of Montessori and the independence I gained from it made it easier in high school as I was not one of those kids who was burnt out and had lost their motivation because my eagerness to learn was still there and still is to this day. I feel very lucky to have gone to Montessori where I developed very important life skills as well as a strong appetite for learning which still stands true ten years later.
