I did Montessori through 5th grade; sounds a lot like that. You just kind of went from classroom to classroom as you wanted, and the teachers let you set the topic and the pace you learned at. And I still solve quadratics in my head by thinking of those blocks...
- calhat 10y agoI've spoken with 1 person who spoke very highly of Montessori and quite a few others who went through Steiner Schools over in the UK. I really believe that we can learn an awful lot from these schools - especially around child development

Always dropped off as I was leaving work looking content - made me think whatever they did there was a positive.
