Montessori Moment



Cursive writing has long been an integral part of Montessori education. At TMS (formerly New Horizons) all elementary students have been learning cursive since the school first opened its doors in 1970. Recently, the state of Pennsylvania passed a new law—taking effect this April—requiring cursive instruction in all public and private schools. Take a moment to read the brief news article below to learn more about why cursive has always been part of learning in our TMS classrooms.
