The Montessori Impact Study is a three-year longitudinal study investigating the effect of public, Montessori education on young children’s early academic and social skills. The project examines  Montessori’s potential to address opportunity and achievement gaps between children from underrepresented and under-resourced communities, and children from other backgrounds.
