A Montessori school is named that after the person who developed open plan schooling. Children in montessori type schools move ahead at their own rate so they might be with older children for math and with younger children for reading depending on the needs of the student. They can move around in the classroom and everyone is not doing the same things.

Answer 3

In 1907, Montessori continued shaping her learning model by opening “A Children’s House” for pre-school children living in the slums of San Lorenzo. With her scientific background to guide her, she observed how young people learned best when engaged in purposeful activity rather than simply being fed information. She drew upon her clinical understanding of children’s cognitive growth and development in constructing an educational framework that would respect individuality and fulfill the needs of the “whole child.” Dr. Montessori’s pioneering work created a blueprint for nurturing all children –learning disabled to gifted—to become the self-motivated, independent and life-long learners that are the ultimate goal of today’s educational reform movement.

NOT private but public. Kids are allowed to "teach" themselves at their own pace.
