The teachers and staff are great. I have two daughters that attend IVMS and they love it there. Their educational goals for the school and my daughters are wonderful.
I am so pleased with our family's experience at IVMS. Our son was initially placed in a clasroom that I didn't think would work for him, so the placement director put him in the 'little house' where our son has flourished! The teachers (all five of them!) have facilitated such positive personal growth in my son that I hardly recognize the person he is at the end of the year compared with the anxious, shy little boy he was in the beginning of the year. Academically he has grown so much. I am a teacher and I value this exceptional school and its exceptional teachers so much. My husband and I moved from California to put our son in this school and we consider ourselves fortunate to have a Montessori education for free!
Island Village Montessori School is a great Montessori Charter school. I still can't believe it is free. What a privilege for all that embrace this way of being. The academic program is strong in that it allows the child to learn and grow at his or her own pace. The principal is excellent in that she listens and responds to the needs of the individual. She is a strong leader who allows children, parents and staff to be who they are. The art department is strong and music is good. Parent involvement is always encouraged. The students have a wide variety in their curriculum which is refreshing. The older students help the younger students. The faculty is good, but interviewing is key. Not every teacher is the perfect fit for your child. Observe, listen, ask questions and get involved. I think Maria Montessori would be proud! Go IVMS!
From what I have seen and observed, this school does not seem to fully embrace Maria Montessori's vision and purposes in her method of teaching.
