Thanks, another good idea to us, Montessori.
Mixed age classrooms, with classrooms for children ag ...
I am glad you were able to pull out a list of info on Montessori within a short time :) Yes, continue to research on Montessori and perhaps try some holiday camps or summer classes to see if she enjoys and can in this type of environment.
Most parents would happily settle with a child going to DBS but you came here looking for more (and there is more). I commend that spark in you. However, mainstream IS may not satisfy what you are searching for. If you are looking beyond the traditional local schools but still strive for early achievements, Montessori can be a good fit. Like most IS they do not have a mark out of 100%, but do have lots of little check marks and external tests for comparison to gauge each child. Do note the following if you are going for Montessori:
1) Montessori early childhood bases a lot on the child's ability to take care of herself. It is best to set up the household the Montessori way as well, so the child can wash up, dress, take care of meal time and basic cleaning by herself. It may seem like minor items, but forms an essential mindset in classroom learning in the long run.
2) Montessori emphasis self-motivation and self-directed concentration. It is set up like a work place out in the real world. Try only if your child is self-motivated and can hold out on her own.
3) Montessori is long term learning. She might come home with tidbit like the capitols of various African countries, but the real development is the way she acquire knowledge and motivate herself. Do look at the long term effects.
If you are going for Montessori, there are lots of so call Montessoei education centres out there. The degree of professionalism varies greatly as every centre has the right to call themselves Montessori (but not certified by the right associations). Only stick to IMS & DMS for quality assurance.

, last night when dinner almost finishes I was making a very complicated origami vessel with a 50 step instruction (in Japanese and broken English) for my boy (age 4). After he puts away his own plates and dishes (a norm and rule in our household) I asked him to help put away my rice bowl as well. He gladly complied. My helper commended that my son can take care of me when he grows up, which I replied, no, I'm only doing my daughter in-law a big favour
