Downtown Montessori School

Posted October 5, 2009

This school has been excellent for me for a while. The teacher of 4th-6th grade is amazing. She taught us all at our own levels; above the level of most children our age. I wish I could have stayed in this class forever, but that was not possible. In 7th and 8th grade you go into the Adolescent Program. You'll hear raving about this program, but beware. I went through an entire (frustrating) year without learning anything last year and am leaving the school for it. I would warn anyone interested in their future to avoid this program and teacher. This school is excellent for preschool-6th grade: I highly recommend it, but your children will be grateful if you pull them out before 7th grade! (The person below recommending the school all the way to 8th is doubtfully a parent of one of the 5 students who have experienced this program.)

Our daugher is in first grade at Downtown Montessori Academy. This is our third year there. The school has the best learning environment and my daughter is thriving there. She wakes up every morning thrilled to go to school. The children are well behaved and all are treated with great respect. The school has extracurricular activities which include private piano lessons, chess, volleyball and scouts. I couldn't have asked for a better school because there isn't one.

I like my teachers and I like that i do not have to sit in one place all day long while working.

My daughter has attended DMA since she was 3 and now about to enter 5th grade. When I learn from other parents that don't have the luxury of easy and direct contact with their administration and teachers I think of how lucky we are and all the positives a small school and small classroom provide. DMA has never missed a beat as far as putting the child first. The teachers are a testimont to my daughter's zealous interest in learning and exploring and she and her peers exemplify Maria Montessori's mantra - 'grace, courtesy and respect.' I highly recommend Downtown Montesorri Academy all the way through 8th grade.
