There is more than one way to learn with Quantum Montessori.

Whether you want to remain your child’s primary educator with professional planning behind you, add live instruction to your homeschool, choose a comprehensive learning-from-home program, or join a small in-person Montessori learning community, Quantum Montessori offers different levels of educational support designed around the learner and family.

The biggest difference is how much of the teaching you want to lead, how much you want Quantum Montessori to lead, and where you want that learning to take place.

Not Sure Which Program to Choose?

You don’t have to figure it out alone. The programs differ primarily in who provides the day-to-day instruction, how much Quantum Montessori leads, the amount of live or in-person learning, and where your child learns.

Choose Full-Time Distance Learning if:
You want your child learning from home, but you want Quantum Montessori to provide the most comprehensive day-to-day educational program and academic support.

Choose a Learning Pod if:
You want the individualized Montessori experience with consistent in-person instruction and a small learning community.
