Eagle House Educational Program

I have had 4 children attend UHMS. My last child is currently in the 2nd grade and my oldest is graduating high school in one month. I cannot say enough positive things about this school. One of my children is Autistic and even though he eventually transferred to an Autism program in the district, UHMS did everything possible to give him the same love, attention and educational support that my other children had and have been given. The faculty and staff are amazing. The school would be chaotic and unable to run smoothly with out the assistance of Deb Wilcox. She is the lottery administrator for the school and a second mother to most of these children. Margy, the nurse is the most kind and attentive nurse I have ever seen. The school is lead by two fantastic men, Mr. Barber and Mr. Hurd. I find it impossible for a parent or guardian not to find this school and administration to be the best possible option for an elementary setting.

This is an excellent school.My son started in PK4, in Montessori schools classrooms are mixed, so he was in the class with 3, 4 and 5 y.o. There is a very nice environment in the classroom and older kids/kids that are more advanced support the rest of the kids. My son was able to establish the rhythm that worked for him, he joined the 5 y.o. in many lessons and he ended the school year reading simple texts.We visited the classroom and loved it. It is structured and organized, but the kids have a lot of agency. During the visit, kids were supposed to teach the parents some of their lessons, and it was fantastic and sweet. We love the way Montessori approaches math.I miss a bit more of social-emotional learning focus, but I believe that it is a regular issue in U.S. classrooms.It's a great school and I am very happy kids with all economic backgrounds can have access to a Montessori education.
