Montessori Evaluation System (MES) is a web based application that will be developed in this project to trackand monitor every child enrolled in Brackendale Montessori, a privately owned organization. Development ofthis software will enable the teachers and administrators in the school to spend less time on paperwork andmore time working with students. The educators will be able to take in more students hence the enrolment inthe school will go up and then the application will be licenced to other Montessori schools, hence increasingthe revenues of the organization. Currently all the Montessori schools lack a system and method for efficientlymeasuring and reporting performance of each child, therefore most centers are failing to provide each child theattention and overall development in accordance with proven standardized system of montessori. BrackendaleMontessori has developed a paper based tracking and evaluation system that has imparted quality education toits students.In order to increase the enrollment further while maintaining the same quality there is a need to make a webbased application to replace the paper based tracking system. MES will provide multi-faceted progress reportswhich can be customized to convey a more personalized assessment and will increase the efficiency ofoperations and will free up the teacher's and administrator's time and thus increasing the capacity of school togrow enrolment. The increased enrollment will increase the school's revenues significantly. BrackendaleMontessori will further increase its revenues by licencing this application to other Montessori schools andcharging the licencing fees.
