I think that claremont is a abosoloutely wonderful school I cant even imagine what it would be like to go to a different school. I just moved up to the 12-15 class and I have to admit that at some points it gets a little difficult but then when I know I have Nancy there to push me and make sure that

We love this school! Claremont Montessori has provided my child with a safe and appropriately-paced learning environment for the past 6 years. My child is allowed to excel in areas where he is ready and is given the added time and attention in subjects where needed. I am amazed that my 5th grader

Geometry is taught concurrently with other math subjects and children use real hands-on materials, such as a cash box, to reinforce practical math concepts. My child also loves the hand-bell ensemble which is directed by a Doctor of Music. This year we celebrate children who won ribbons at our county math and science fair as well as a student who placed at the SFL Regional Scripp's National Spelling Bee one who qualified for the state National Geographic Bee. Claremont nurtures the individual while teaching students to cooperate as a community. Read less

Claremont Montessori School offers a wonderful alternative to 'traditional' public-and private-school settings. Children move at their own pace, choosing what they wish to work on at most given moments. All types of children flourish in this setting, learning more than you could imagine. I am so thankful
... Read more that my child attends Claremont. I have no worries about disliking school, rigorous homework , or FCAT prep. My child has a voice and feels good about school. Come visit and you will see some children working at tables and on the floor, some gardening, some cooking, some playing musical instruments, and some reading or researching in the library. I wish I had gone to Montessori school! Read less

I went to Claremont for eight whole, long years. Personally, they go much into detail with mathematics, history and sciences. They do a great job teaching the English language, but I feel that they should teach the middle schoolers more about literature for Freshman Year. In the beginning of my own Freshman
... Read more Year, I got a C in Literature class because I had no literary background. Other than that, the Foreign Language Department is OK. I took French (in detail) there for two years and I didn't understand a thing. I even had to cheat just to pass my exams from time to time. In high school, I decided to retake French I again. And now I'am relearning stuff that I already learned at Claremont from those two years of French. But other than that, everything is good from eight years of being a student and three Geography Bees won. Read less

I went to Claremont for 9 year and my sister went for 12, the only reason I switched was because they closed down the high school before I was to graduate. I loved going to Claremont and learned more in a single lesson there than in 3 weeks work where I now go to school. Claremont helped me to excel

Our kids did not have a good year at Claremont. The personal attention that was promised never materialized, and some issues regarding their education were never addressed. Some Montessori principles were overlooked as they were understaffed.

The Claremont staff and mentors have opened my sons eye and mind to a world traditional public schoold could/would not offer. The caring staff is experianced and firm but gentle with the children. Our 8 year has been complimented on his thought process when speaking and questioning adults. I could
... Read more not say enough about how happy I am with the academics. Claremont offers the personalization of home schooling with years of experiance. The school is a tight knit community that while it encourages parent envolvment, never makes a mom feel bad if she can't volunteer due to other children or career. While their observation days are limited to 1 per semester, there are plenty of working opurtunities which allow for time in the classroom. As for extracurricular activities, there are clubs which range from karate to music. We highly suggest a visit. Read less

True Montessori Principal: Highly educated, well-published, truly adores the pursuit of knowledge and admires others (regardless of how young), that too, share his eagerness to learn and to share knowledge. He is an amazing individual, and although may seem 'stuck,' in his ways, he actually is quite

Extracurricular activities: If you know anything about montessori education, then you are already aware that many items that would be considered 'extracurriculat,' are already incorporated into the flow of the ever-changing classroom. Parent involvement is also encouraged, and 'special art,' is a common occurance. After-school and In-school Clubs are at no additional cost and are of the diverse, delightful, and distinctive variety: Chess Club, Chimes, Bell Choir, Animal Saviours, Creative Movement, Artistic Expression and Design, Latin Club (which is popular and enjoyable!)

This is a fantastic school. My son has mastered so many small and large practical and academic skills, and tests 4-5 years above his age level on almost every subject after attending this school. The teachers are like college professors in their love of the subject matter and the depth of their 'lessons'.
... Read more Don't be fooled by the ability in Montessori of the kids to choose what they study day to day...if they're getting out of balance on a subject, the Claremont teacher will help them balance their choices. And it's not a 'do as you please' school as some imagine Montessori schools. I love that Claremont maintains a very safe environment with no tolerance for bullying or class disruption. They're very organized and that promotes learning. And they're very inclusive - they 'coax' students exhibiting disruptive behavior back into the fold rather than the traditional punitive models. Come join us at Claremont! Read less
