Next year he will move to the 6-9yo room and there he will have access to the entire curriculum, depth and breadth, through 8th grade and beyond. I feel very lucky to have found such an enlightened school, and to have it be such a good fit, at least for now.
oooh. I think I am jealous (or drooling on my keyboard
) to have that environment and materials up to 8th grade!! It sounds like you made it through a really rough school fit to a really really great one. Good for you. If I may, the only advice I would offer is to just keep track/watch very carefully. So much of what happens in Montessori stays in Montessori. There are not a lot of worksheets, etc that come home. It can be hard to see how far along your child is. I hadn't been paying quite enough attention to my dd's progress last year. It has been a scramble this year to keep her "working on the edge of her capabilities".
