Research provides some indication about how children benefit from a Montessori education. By its very nature, however, research suggests but does not prove or conclude. The premises, methods, and findings of research studies are open to scrutiny and interpretation. Research has focused on: the history of Montessori education; beliefs and attitudes of Montessori teachers; benefits from a Montessori education for children who are either at-risk or who are exceptional learners; and achievement and social development for Montessori students versus non-Montessori students.
