Montessori education inherently builds a group of life skills alongside academic experiences. These skills include self-efficacy, leadership, flexibility, cooperation, independent thought, and tolerance. Academic concepts are built with materials that physically demonstrate each concept by exploring them in kinaesthetic, visual, and auditory ways. 

Montessori students are often referred to as thinking outside the box. According to a recent article in the Harvard Business School Journal, "The most innovative entrepreneurs were very lucky to have been raised in an atmosphere where inquisitiveness was encouraged. A number of the innovative entrepreneurs went to Montessori schools, where they learned to follow their curiosity."
