Why Choose Montessori?

Anthropic co-founder Benjamin Mann on why he chose Montessori for his daughter

Would it surprise you to hear that a leader in AI sends his children to Montessori school?


During a recent interview on Lenny Rachitsky's podcast (https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/podcast), Anthropic co-founder Benjamin Mann shared why he chose Montessori for his daughter:


"If this were 10-20 years ago, I'd be lining her up for top-tier schools and extracurriculars. But at this point, I don't think any of it's gonna matter. Our three-year-old goes to a Montessori school, and I just love the focus on curiosity, and creativity, and self-led learning that Montessori has. That's exactly the kind of education that I think is most important. Learning facts is gonna fade into the background."


As we prepare to begin another school year at MSLF, we're proud to provide our children and their families that very focus: curiosity, creativity, and self-led learning! Happy new school year!

Greenhouse progress! 🌱 Over the past couple of months, we've been excited to see our new greenhouse taking shape! From the foundation to the floor to the knee wall, you can now see our new greenhouse classroom coming to life on campus. We are so grateful for the generous support of our community that helped bring this vision to life, enhancing our gardening enrichment program with a year-round space where all students can learn about plant lifecycles and sustainability.
