IRS990/Desc0FOLLOWING MONTESSORI PHILOSOPHY, CHILDREN ARE GROUPED BY DEVELOPMENTAL LEVELS RATHER THAN BY GRADE LEVELS, SO THERE MAY BE SOME OVERLAPPING OF AGES IN CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENTS. USUALLY A STUDENT REMAINS WITH THE SAME GUIDE, OR TEACHER, FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE YEARS, WHICH ALLOWS THE GUIDE TO LEARN THE STUDENT'S STRENGTHS, CHALLENGES, AND INTERESTS IN A MORE IN-DEPTH WAY. THE MULTI-AGE CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENTS PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS TO WORK AT THEIR UNIQUE LEVELS OF CHALLENGE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THEY OFFER THE CHANCE FOR STUDENTS TO MASTER SKILLS AND DEVELOP SELF-CONFIDENCE BY BECOMING TEACHERS AND LEADERS IN THEIR CLASSROOM COMMUNITY.
