There was a Montessori school down the road from my primary school. We thought the students there were pretty weird (they were easily identifiable by their lack of uniforms) but of course their weirdness was more likely due to their parents than due to the school. I have particularly vivid memories of the fat boy who wore skirts. In later life I never actually met anyone who went to that school, though, so I couldn't tell you how they turned out. Whatever they did, they did it in very different social circles to mine.
