Erdkinder is the pedagogical model Maria Montessori developed for the education of adolescents, typically defined as ages twelve to eighteen. It departs significantly from the classroom based Children's House model used for younger children, instead calling for a rural, land based environment in which students engage in agricultural work and economic self sufficiency.
