The Montessori Atlas · Family visit worksheet
Two schools. Your own observations.
Before visiting, name your family's three priorities. After each visit, note what you saw, what you were told, and what you still need to confirm. This worksheet is for your own notes; the Atlas does not collect them.
Our priorities:
