"At Legacy Tide, deep respect for the learner comes first. Sam Miles has spent years bringing her vision of a Montessori-inspired swim school to life, thoroughly researching and carefully considering every aspect of the Montessori philosophy. Sam and her team create a thoughtful and flexible individualized curriculum that values intrinsic motivation and joy in learning, as opposed to external pressure or rewards. Children and adults who go through her program will understand swimming and water safety better, and they will understand themselves better. She is a real gift to her community, and it has been a pleasure to work with her!"

Renee Schwartz, M.S. Curriculum & Instruction, Montessori-trained teacher and curriculum consultant
