As a Monroe County public charter school, May Sands Montessori School has been providing tuition-free, high-quality Montessori education to residents of the lower keys for almost 25 years. “The Montessori method may be one of the best-kept secrets in education,” says school head Lynn Barras.  This child-centered, individualized approach was developed over 100 years ago by Dr. Maria Montessori, the first woman physician in Italy and life-long educationalist. The Montessori approach is on the cutting edge of today’s school reform movement, which identifies innovations that have been part of Montessori classrooms since 1907.  Multi-age groupings, a rich and extensive curriculum implemented with hands-on materials, cross-discipline learning, and care of the global environment are just a few of these innovative characteristics.  “We love May Sands Montessori,” one parent reported, “Teachers and staff have created a warm, family atmosphere that nurtures children developmentally and academically to be their best selves.”
