A Montessori program offered through Templestowe College is being ended after running since 2012, according to reporting from multiple outlets. The change affects a group of students and families who say the program has helped deliver an education approach that suits their learning needs. Students and parents express concern and upset at the decision, saying the program is valuable and has been working for those involved. The program’s conclusion marks a shift for participants who have been supported under the Montessori model for more than a decade. While the reports focus on the impact on families, they do not provide detailed information on the reasons for the program ending or on what alternative arrangements will be made for current students. The coverage highlights the concern that the closure creates uncertainty for students who have relied on the program’s structure and learning style.
