The advantages of a Montessori education include the following:

Provides individual instruction: Each child is allowed supervised free choice of classroom activities and freedom of movement based on his or her interests, so long as these activities do not disrupt the well-being of the class.

Promotes initiative and self-confidence: Materials are structured and presented to enable self-teaching and independent activity, which develops self-reliance.

Emphasizes learning through the use of tangible sensory objects, which reinforces memory and understanding.

Provides a supportive, carefully prepared environment scaled to the needs of the child and designed to teach a sense of responsibility and self-discipline.

Most of the advantages were already stated. However make sure that the school that you are looking into is an actual Montessori School. There are some out there that say they are when they aren't. Also make sure that all the teachers are actually Montessori teachers. Some schools have 1 person on staff that is Montessori trained and the rest are not. I personally like the philosophy of Maria Montessori but was not impressed with the actual school that I had my daughter attend for a brief time and am actually trying a similar method with her at home and she is thriving.
