ideas have had a profound
effect and growing influence

on education. However, while
individual elements find their
way into traditional programs,
a fully implemented Montessori
model is so comprehensive in
scope and sequence that it is
quite distinct. Aidan represents
such an academic model and
offers it as a clearly optimum
environment for learning, for
preperation for the future, and
for developing the necessary
skills and dispositions for
citizenship in a democratic
society. Open House Dates:
