I know that this is an older post. But I actually found this site through finding this thread searching Montessori and project based and stem...
Jodie, I would bet money that we are in the same school district after reading through your posts. I would love to hear an update, as we are at a crossroads and the school choice deadline is approaching. We are in the STEAM school boundaries for this district but my kids are in private school. I think my youngest would flourish in Montessori at RRA but you're probably aware that the school choice for that school EXCEPT for choosing Montessori is pretty much closed. We would move if I thought it was worth it.
Again, I would love an update. My oldest has been identified as gifted. He is very self-motivated but having been in traditional school longer than his younger brother I wonder if it is the right thing for him. The STEAM school is SO much bigger than their little school - I worry about that as compared to the Montessori - plus the Montessori they can stay there through middle and they have had plenty of school changes already. But there is no enrichment in their current school. Thank you.
