I'm a former student of Tuskawilla Montesorri, having attended from young to the end of the middle school program. TuskMont's forte is with the preschool and elementary school programs, where the Montesorri methods are more applied and more relevant. Enrollment for the middle school program is significantly

(This may be because the middle school program is relatively new, and they're still struggling to find a proper balance for older kids and the Montessori methods at this age. The preschool and elementary school programs are exceptionally strong, though quality can vary depending on teacher. I would recommend asking to sit in on some classes first to get a feel of this school. Overall, I would recommend for younger grades and caution hesitancy for middle school. Read less

My son attended Tuskawilla Montessori from age three until twelve and now both of my younger kids (age 8 and 6) are there.

I have two children at Tuskawilla Montessori and can not say enough wonderful things about the experience we have had over the last several years. The community is very tigh knit with parents, teachers, and administrators all working together to guarantee that the children not only have the best possible

I used to go to TMA when I was a kid, and still speak with parents and teachers of the school and know they are doing very well!

There have certainly been some changes in the 4th-6th grade level this year, to make that department entirely Montessori .
