This school has a beautiful environment and caring teachers however they are understaffed and over crowded. They moved into a new building this year and it already is too small for the class of 45, now they are accepting up to 70 students for the next school year. There is little to no organization. The teachers are always available to speak to you and listen however follow through is not always there. They definitely follow the Montessori beliefs and try to provide an excellant education. However due to lack of organization and structure the students suffer.
The school receives little moral support from it's main campus, the teachers are disorganized and struggle to create a disciplined environemnt, and financial resources are limited. Most parents are not involved. Communication from teacher to parents is poor. Sad situation. My child will not return for 2007-2008. In all fairness, the staff at this campus wants to create a better school, but they seem burned out, taking a lot of days off, and don't have solid direction on where to go. I would be surprised if all the teachers return for the next school year, and I know many students who will not be.
This school just finished it's 1st year and never really got off the ground. Lack of qualified teachers,a non-prepared environment and a chaotic plan. Foriegn language, art and music were deemed 'something the kids needed to transition into' by the head director. Not a Montessori attitude or prepared room. Parent involvment was minimal to none. This school will only be serving the K-2 student age group also, as there is no space. My child will not be returning as just sticking out the 1st year was more than fair to the school. One can only hope things improve and 'transition' into a real Montessori environment. The pre-school & K teacher was awesome, although leaving.
