TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — The largest school district in northern Michigan is building a school for the sole purpose of teaching children in the Montessori method.

The Traverse City school board voted to spend more than $20 million on the project. The district has a Montessori school, but the new building will be specifically designed for a communal learning setting, the Traverse City Record-Eagle reported.
