Montessori is an educational setting in which students are taught through experiential and active learning rather than passive learning on a classroom.

A typical day in a Montessori classroom may look different for each child, as the curriculum somewhat encompasses specific age groups.

Montessori schools include foreign language for their students, which are taught both through audio as well as visual teaching methods.

Montessori schools do not simply teach their students how to speak a language but also teach their students the history and culture behind the language being taught.

While I did not see anything specific about scholarships or the cost of tuition in the link provided, I believe that Montessori schools could address the marker of Socioeconomic status in a couple ways.

Firstly, Montessori schools could create scholarships for students specifically struggling with money rather than simply for students that show great academic achievement. The idea behind this is that students with a lower socio-economic status may not have access to as many resources as other students and thus may struggle academically due to this.

Secondly, Montessori schools could add a section to their code of conduct that includes not discriminating against students on the basis on socioeconomic status, as this is a problem that could happen in the classroom.

The philosophy of Montessori schools is to create an environment where “children progress at their own pace with positive reinforcement that is achieved through success-oriented materials and activities, [in order to] inspire the child to develop his potential to the fullest”

This philosophy creates an equitable environment for students, in which each is given the necessary stepping stones to succeed. This may not look the same (equal) for each student, but it is equitable.
