Has anyone here who is gifted with this level of ability looked into or experienced a Montessori-style education? Perhaps for your children?

My two young children are currently enrolled in a Montessori school and I can draw a lot of parallels between what the many gifted commenters here suggest as a better way to teach and my understanding of the Montessori philosophy.

Emphasis on engendering self-directed learning, freedom to explore their interests, avoidance of intelligence labels/praise such as "you're so smart", etc.
