They try to make you stay in the public school system if you have multiple kids and pull one out of bullhead elementary school because another school is a better fit your other kids are no longer welcome to get an education even if I live in bullhead and pay taxes that support this public school they now consider us out of the district even though I live like 5 blocks away I have to reach out to the district supervisor and see if this is even allowed

Don't like this school. Need new staff there, all so rude. The teachers and office staff.Even when you call there even rude on the phone especially the older one withe short blonde hair that works in the office that sits on the back right side. She loves to give attitude even to parents. I always here about bullying at this school as well.

Our family loves MMS! Our son transferred in first grade after having a less than mediocre experience at a charter school that focused on all children doing the same work at the same pace. We had been concerned because he was losing his passion for learning. This is never an issue at MMS! Children are stimulated through the unique Montessori curriculum which also includes zoology, biology, cursive, geography, music, computers, foreign language and P.E. in addition to the other academic subjects. The multi-level approach is so beneficial socially, emotionally and academically. Children work at their own level and thrive in the project based school setting. They learn practical life skills which sadly are no longer taught or valued at most other schools. While we knew MMS would challenge our son academically, what happily surprised us most was the emphasis on the whole child in terms of social and emotional development. This is so crucial to raising a young person who will be able to navigate life as an adult. It is also refreshing how there is no homework (busywork) in the earlier years so you can enjoy your child and your family time in the evening. The teachers are highly experienced, and the director is one of the kindest, calmest, most understanding and serene administrators I’ve ever met! We vicariously enjoy this unique school experience through our child, wishing we had been blessed to have attended a school like MMS. To be fair, this school isn't for everyone.... if you want a school with lots of tests, homework, textbooks, stifling behavior charts, and incentive based learning, then this won't be a match for your goals. However, if you are looking for a non-traditional approach to learning that will have your child exuding excitement from his/her school lessons, thriving socially and emotionally, and learning invaluable life skills, then this is the school for you.
