Choice Schools Associates & Montessori

What do Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Princess Diana, and Bill and Hillary Clinton have in common? They were all Montessori parents.

What do the founders of Google, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the founder of Amazon, Jeffrey Bezos, Jacqueline Kennedy, and Julia Child have in common? They were all Montessori students.
