Hi all, The following is a (lightly modified) excerpt of a talk I gave a few years ago to school leaders on excellence. Next week I’ll send along another excerpt, the conclusion of the talk, on how the very idea of excellence is core to our pedagogy and our view of human life and development.

“Each of these things is integrated, and they together form an inseparable whole. It’s not a first A then B type of situation, it’s more like A is a part of B. Financial health and scheduling need to be pursued simultaneously to a mission-orientation—because they are indeed part of what it means to achieve the mission. They are literally part of elevated Montessori, in the same way that the functioning circulatory system is part of an elevated individual life.”
