I would not recommend Mount Sacred Heart for a wide variety of reasons. The ratios are horrible for both their Montessori program as well as their regular Pre-K and Kinder program.

They should invest time and learn about the real Kindergarten methods like those of Frederick Froebel (founder of kindergarten) and maybe go to the library at UIW and go to the Joe Frost collection and see children at this age learn through nurturing and play not forced academics. Frankly, the school and the principle need to reevaluate theses programs. The teachers seem to be doing their best overall. My child now attends a school with more progressive ideas. Read less

Enough cannot be said for Mount's theater program. Mount is the only middle school in San Antonio that is performing well known musicals such as, Oklahoma, Aladin, and The Music Man. Wow, I never would have thought that my son would be performing dance numbers and singing on stage to Broadway music numbers.

Their Montessori program is good. Unlike the rest of these reviews I disagree about the quality of the education. There are many parents who would agree that the teachers in the school are discriminitory, unprofessional and disorganized. Many use old school techniques and the ones with ideas are pushed
