Ecellent school. Academically superior to the others we've tried on relocating. Nice shaded play area. Families generally high quality, involved people. Teaching and admin staff excellent. Very reasonably priced in comparison to other areas of the country.

I think the school is great. My daughter has been a student there since she was four. She is now eight and in third grade. She is socially adjusted and academically gifted. I attribute her positive progress on her natural development curve to her experiences at Discovery Montessori

I agree with the posts that say this school is unsatisfactory. In my opinion, the curriculum is not vastly accelerated over other programs - even traditional ones. It is no longer uncommon to be reading by or shortly before age 4. We tried this school for one year and moved to a public Montessori

I also think the tuition is more expensive than other nearby schools and fundraising is an extremely high priority

I would recommend this school with out hesitation to any parent looking for an outstanding educational experience for their child. Parents, families, students and the faculty are absolutely dedicated members of the 'team'. I love this school.

Saying there is a 'socially driven focus' is putting it mildly. It's as though the children are peripheral.

It was once a great school. The director years ago , did show a compassion for children and for her staff. She retired and since then, there is more of a focus on a socially driven environment. The teachers are great, but you also need a strong and loyal director behind them. It was that that was

I agree with the othe parent about the school being a social driven environment. The children are expected to be individuals. I did not experience any patience with my child or a loving caring enviornment. Children are expected to be children and grow and learn and I did not experience that at this
