In a Montessori classroom all children work at their own pace and rhythm, taking into account their interests, strengths and weaknesses. This means a child with learning difficulties or a “gifted” child can be in the same class as they are able to work at a level that meets their particular needs.
One of the key characteristics of Montessori education is that it supports individualised learning. Each child has a tailored programme allowing children to work at their own ability level at a pace that is suitable for each of them as they experience their own learning pathway.
