Dr. Montessori observed that children are more motivated to learn when working on something of their own choosing. A Montessori student may choose his focus of learning on any given day, but his decision is limited by the materials and activities—in each area of the curriculum—that his teacher has prepared and presented to him.
Beginning at the elementary level, students typically set learning goals and create personal work plans under their teacher’s guidance.
The Montessori environment gives children the opportunity and ability to choose the work that most interests them, as a result they tend to remain focused and attentive while immersed in their work.
There is a small but growing body of well-designed research comparing Montessori students to those in traditional schools. These suggest that in academic subjects, Montessori students perform as well as or better than their non-Montessori peers.
The Cobb School, Montessori is truly an extraordinary place of learning. Our mission: to stimulate each child's natural curiosity and to prepare them to become independent, self-reliant and compassionate human beings.

“It is a rare to find a school that does more than educate your children. In Cobb we found a partner in raising our three children with values we treasure- kindness, perseverance, and love of learning. Our daughter and sons flourished at Cobb and the excellent education they received gave them the foundation to thrive thereafter. We will be forever grateful.”
