Resources for Parents
The Montessori Method of education was born in an experimental school in slum housing in Rome. They asked Dr. Montessori MD who had had success with mentally retarded children, to set up a school. Just as her former students out performed others, so did these. They loved learning! The Bishop came to see. The press noised this about in The States.
Dr. Montessori said that her efforts to reform education based on scientific observation and a servant’s heart was a mission from God. Much later, she promoted the cause of peace and favored the League of Nations. Today, because some Montessorians are very liberal, many Christians are wary of it.
Today, there is a long-standing, time-testing Christian outlet for training in the Montessori Method that I recommend. It is The Christian Montessori Fellowship, run by Mr. and Mrs. Fidellow. Here is there site to encourage and equip parents. https://www.crossmountainmedia.com/
All parents are educators. Those who educate at home may particular feel the need for help in teaching reading and solid mathematical foundations. The practical portion of the Montessori Method does this in an unsurpassed way. Studies show that students coming out of Montessori preschools outclass all others.
***PROCTORED*** EARLY COLLEGE START
NEW! Early college start — free credit at the community college level seems like a good deal, financially, for homeschooled high schoolers. But think. Do you really want to put your child, socially, in the midst of adults who were not successful in their high school? Do you really think that the academic level at a community college is as high as your high school honors student? Do you have idea of the level of communism, wokeness, critical race theory, pornography and sheer anti-Christianity that they are likely to be exposed to? So, don’t you desire an alternative?
Now you have one! Proctored [online] early college start classes! A long-term instructor, retired from the local community college, who is also a long-time Christian, inerrantist will offer proctoring. Your student can study on their laptops but in the same room as other home educated students and socialize on breaks with similar students. Further, given her two Master’s degrees and experience in the system, she can provide mentorship in navigating the system, managing academics, and facing the onslaught to faith.
Also offered: History, Government, Economics, and Sociology courses taught directly, face to face, with similar students. You give the credit. Student should be able to handily CLEP the college credit or take AP exam. However, we are teaching for understanding the subject matter, how to succeed academically, and how to be a servant leader, more than merely teaching to the test.

Something that is time tested, and not the chimera of some activism thought up yesterday. Real skills are what bring about success. Get invidividualized, innovative, even iconoclastic help.
