Cognitive flexibility, impulse control, and working memory
These brain skills are called our executive function skills. They influence our self-discipline, our abilty to focus, our sociability, and even our confidence and love of work.
Executive Function
skill-building has been part of the Montessori way for over 100 years.



We help Montessori schools measure and communicate their success at building these critical cognitive skills.

The Minnesota Executive Function Scale (the MEFS™)
The #1 science-backed objective measure of executive function is now available for families on any web-enabled device
The MEFS enables Montessori schools to measure growth in executive function skills alongside the process of normalization and helps them empower parents to build these skills at home.
