Wow, I can promise you that Washington Montessori would not be recommended by me to anyone. We moved from Michigan, where the schools are ranked in the top 10 in the country. What a rude awakening this school was for us. It is an embarrasment to true Montessori education. My children attended this
... Read more school for 4 years. They have been in public school for 3 years now and we are very happy that we realized that we were actually doing them harm by keeping them there. This school is full of problem kids which continually distract from the others. Their education is sacraficed for those who continually disrupt. Hopefully, the new head of school with his public school background will get a handle on the problems there and we can stop wasting the tax payers money. Read less

This Montessori School is awesome. The new building that Chairman Dr. Scott has worked so hard on is awesome! Exactly like the Montessori school I came from in Connecticut, which, by the way was ranked #2 in the U.S. (day and night verse beaufort county schools). I guess if you lived in beaufort county
... Read more your whole life you would think the schools are incredible.(There not) My child is now in the 98%tile in the national scores. Love the environment. my child is not sitting in a chair all day long. She now has a chance to be a leader and make choices of her own in school. She can move to the next grade level and do higher grade work as dictates, can't do that in Public School.thats my biggest praise. My child is not stuck listening to a Teacher Re-teach problem kids all day, she goes at her own Pace. Read less

I cannot reccomend this school to anyone. My child attended Washington Montessori for over a year. The teachers are under qualified...many do not even have teaching degrees. The kids spend a significant portion of the day waiting for a teacher to look at the work that they have done or waiting for
... Read more a 'lesson'. There is far too much sitting around and/or playing going on. Also, they have virtually no reading program. My child now goes to the public school, and is thriving. A child in the public schools will learn more in one day that most will learn in a week at Montessori. The public schools in this town are great. The teachers are highly qualified. The children are consistently on task, and there are very few discipline problems. Read less

The school doesn't not value the input of the parents. Sad.

We have been a part of WMPCS since its second year. I have watched it grow into a wonderful campus surrounded by acres of trails, an outside amphitheater and a rock paved labyrinth. The children learn not only in the classroom but outside in it's peaceful environment. The teachers always go above and
... Read more beyond. They believe in our children and the Montessori philosophy. At times our test scores may not reflect the true knowledge our children hold. We do not 'teach' to the test as other schools. It is a nuturing place to grow and requires parental envolvment at almost every level. This is what I believe today's society lacks that WMPCS offers. Like other schools we have our 'growing pains' and are not perfect. But, if you are looking for a safe and nuturing environment for your child to learn in, it is one you should explore. Read less

My daughter spent 4 years attending this school. After concerns for her academic level were made clear, we were repeatedly informed that by 6th grade she would catch up. We have since moved her to a private school where she struggles with work that should have been covered in 3rd grade. She is ca slowly

I have been very impressed with this school. My child is learning how to learn, not just memorize. The math, geography, language and character development are major strengths of this school. Our community is very lucky to have Washington Montessori is here.

Washington Montessori, in my opinion, is one of the best schools Beaufort County has to offer. My daughter has attended this school since it first opened and I have been so impressed with the staff, teachers, parents, and students. My son started attending Kindergarten this year and has really enjoyed

However, I would suggest that people come out and see first hand what our school has to offer. It's a different learning style and it works. Students are taught to be respectful of all living and non-living things. We have a great violin program and students work on Community Outreach projects. It's not just about learning from textbooks. It's about helping each child reach their full potential in all areas of life. Read less

Washington Montessori Charter School is a growing school that could be a great school. It unfortunately is experiencing 'growing pains' most notably repeated changes in the leadership. The founding mother (a Spanish major) keeps coming back to run the school. It seems to be a mix of Montessori and traditional

They can go outside and search for bugs, leaves, things from nature. Strict violence policy must be signed by all parents. Children are sent home and suspended for any infraction such as pushing. Some Spanish classes included. Sadly, three teachers left this summer but with a downsizing and teachers moved around it should work out ok. Read less
