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
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—we’ll always be straight with you about what’s practical to bring over.
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?
For most schools it’s hours to days, not weeks—and we do it with you. The timeline depends mostly on how much history you want to bring over, which we’ll scope together up front.
