It has only been two weeks but my son is enjoying the program. I was not aware of the 'quiet' philosophy around the Montessori program but it has been a good method of assisting in getting my 4 year old to use his 'inside voice'. The teachers are very good with ensuring that the children learn from

What a great school! After just five months at EWMS, my 3-year-old is throwing around words like 'quatrefoil' and my 5-year-old is reading books on a 3rd-grade level. Since the parents are so involved, my children also get the pleasure and benefit of interacting with lots of different adults with many

This school is a treasure tucked away blocks away from Downtown Wilmington. Particularly high marks for a wonderfully diverse student population, extensive parent involvement, and teacher/staff commitment to student well-being. The curriculum is impressive, creating and expanding basic math and language

The curriculum also includes thematic elements (this year, themes include Delaware history and North/South America) reinforced through assignments and activities during the year. Parents chaperone field trips as well as volunteering 25 hours each, providing a positive community feel and the ability to engage teachers and staff outside the parent-teacher conference. Students develop both independence and interdependence, and are able to both mentor and be guided by their peers, both important learning skills. The children enjoy being part of this wonderful learning environment - I'm very happy I discovered it! Read less

Elementary Workshop Montessori School is the most wonderful place for your child to grow, I can not say enough good things about it! True strength and balance in diversity in student body and staff.

... Read more childrens' education, this 'co-op' school is the place! You'll be doing everything from assisting teachers to sweeping up to maintenance projects to driving on field trips (this school is big on field trips - and assemblies!) I had more experience with the Early Childhood teachers (age 2.5 to 6)- they loved and helped my child to grow in immeasurable ways. A great school value, but very much like a family or extended community. EWMS staff are devoted to true Montessori values and education techniques, with full training updates and all the learning tools. Terrific Spanish, art and music learning opportunities. Read less
