    Penfield Montessori is proud to be one of the growing number of public Montessori schools in the U.S. Learn more about the Montessori Method and how it is helping to close the achievement gap:

    Dr. Montessori originally developed her pedagogical approach for low-income children in Rome. Unfortunately, in the U.S., the Montessori model was largely relegated to private schools. However, the spread of public school choice has led to a rapid growth in the number of public Montessori schools.
