2. Why Montessori School?
Montessori school isn’t just a trend in education, it
was developed over a century ago by Italian
physician and educator, Maria Montessori, and has
become the most effective, child-centric approach to
learning.
Building upon the way children naturally learn,
Montessori schools hone their strengths and
produce some of the world’s most successful
individuals. To highlight this, here’s a look at some of
the most accomplished Montessorians.

3. Sergey Brin & Larry Page
Brin and Page are the founders of Google—the
multinational technology company that has taken the
world by storm.
Brin has been quoted as saying, “I do think I
benefited from the Montessori education which in
some ways gives the students a lot more freedoms
to do things at their own pace, to discover… I do
think that some of the credit for the willingness to go
on your own interests – you can tie that back to the
Montessori education.”

4. Steve Wozniak
Wozniak is the co-founder of Apple, not to be
confused with Apple Montessori Schools. Apple is
another one of the world’s leading multinational
technology companies.
Wozniak believe that “Montessori schools are doing
a better job than most in teaching independent
thinking and teaching children to be leaders and not
followers.”

5. Jeff Bezos
Bezos is the CEO of Amazon—an American
electronic commerce and cloud computing company.
The Wall Street Journal once reported that Bezos’s
mother said, “Young Jeff would get so engrossed in
his activities as a Montessori preschooler that his
teachers would literally have to pick him up out of
his chair to go to the next task.”

6. Helen Hunt
Hunt is an Academy Award winning actress who
has played in hit movies such as “As Good as It
Gets” and “Twister” as well as the highly watched
comedic sitcom “Mad About You.”
Hunt had this to say about her experience as a
Montessori student: “I remember that everything
was very fluid. We didn’t sit at desks and rows. I do
remember, even though I probably wouldn’t have
called it then, working at my own speed and not
feeling the pressure to keep up or to hold back,
which was a really wonderful gift. I remember loving
it… I really thrived there.”
