As a direct result of being in a creative, child-led learning environment, Larry Page and Sergey Brin utilized their Montessori experiences to explore the infinite possibilities of advancements in Technology. Because they learned the value of addressing a need when presented with a challenge, they combined their love of technology with innovation and usefulness to create Google, which has become an integral part of life in the 21st century. A Montessori ideal, theirs is a true example of utilizing skills and passion to better the world.

Peter Sims, author and journalist for the Wall Street Journal, once referred to Page and Brin as part of a “Montessori Mafia… given that the Montessori approach has spawned a creative elite,” citing several other celebrities and innovators as Montessori alumni, as well.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin didn’t imagine Google would be as ubiquitous as it is today. It began as a project to improve library searches, and through their enthusiasm for discovery, the pair made a series of small changes and improvements that collectively created the Google that is used world-wide for personal and business purposes. It was their naturally curious minds, cultivated carefully by a Montessori education, that enabled them to be the successes they are today.

The founders of Google have taken the goal of Montessori education–to develop life-long learners and creative thinkers–and made a significant impact on society. 

At The T.E.C. Schools, we are working to instill a love of learning and creativity in our students. Everyday, we are watching our students gain and use the skills that Larry and Sergey used to create Google, so that they may be innovative, collaborative, enthusiastic, and successful in whatever they choose to do.
