How to use the report:

Are Montessori parents really that different from everyone else? Comparing national survey data with responses from roughly 100 Montessori families, this article examines how parents find schools, what they prioritize when choosing one, and how often they show up to school events. The findings reveal some surprising similarities — and a few telling divergences — between the broader population and families who've chosen an alternative educational path.
