Tim Seldin
President, Montessori Foundation
“The curriculum developed with Montessori Compass is the most thorough, rigorous, and complete Montessori Scope and Sequence I have ever seen anywhere in the world. It allows schools to clearly demonstrate student progress—not only in Montessori terms, but in the language of accrediting bodies, governments, and parents. If you’re looking for the best Montessori record keeping software, Montessori Compass is my recommendation.”
Questions about switching
I’m on Montessori Compass 1.0—is this page for me?
Yes—this is the right starting point for every school. From here, your path is the guided, hands-on upgrade to Montessori Compass 2.0 and the Classroom Share parent app, and we move your school’s data with you, free. See the step-by-step upgrade guide.
Can you import from my current system?
Yes. Most platforms let you export your students, parents, and curriculum, and our team imports those for you. Not sure how to export from your existing platform? Reach out and we’ll point you in the right direction.
What about my historical data—observations and records?
It depends on what you have and how it’s structured, so we take it case by case. Send us a sample export of your record history and our team will work with you to find the best path forward.
Is migration really free?
Yes. We migrate your data at no cost and support you hands-on through the switch. One platform, one team, one support call—no migration fees.
Will my teachers have to start over?
No. Your students, parents, and curriculum come with you, so teachers pick up where they left off rather than rebuilding from scratch.
How long does it take?
Work at your own pace—we move with you. Coming from another system, there’s no deadline on our side at all; what’s involved depends mostly on how much history you want to bring over, which we’ll scope together up front. If your school is on Montessori Compass 1.0 there is one date to know—1.0 retires on December 31, 2026—and the upgrade guide walks through it.
