We love our school! Teachers are incredible and admin has always taken any and all concerns seriously. Lots of ways to get involved

My son has been at Idyllwilde for 3 years. He has grown so much through his leadership skills and has become a very reflective student. I believe it is because of the IB PYP and Leader In Me magnet focus. The teachers are amazing and highly trained. I would recommend this school if you are looking for a challenging education for your child.

This school has the most unprofessional front office receptionist and administrators Ive ever experienced. They are extremely rude and unkind when it comes to family engagement. Being that this is the first impression of the school outside of appearance, you would think they would get their act together. Would not recommend. And they also try to make it hard for minorities to enter here as well all while having minorities working for them. Its ridiculous. 0/10

I recently had the displeasure in the application process at LMP. They asked my child to come in for a shadow day. They evaluated him as someone who is not interested in learning. Is this possible from a shadow day???? Perhaps the teacher was not that interesting to listen to, or engaging? I tried to contact the school to discuss this further, still waiting for response. LMP was not a first choice school for our family. There are better choices in the Orlando area.

If as a parent, you are looking for a school that makes your child independent, calm, free spirited, creative, self-directed, then LMMA is the place to be. LMMA is doing a wonderful job with the children giving them a whole round development which is seldom found in a public school. Their teachers are all Montessori trained and know how to maintain a balance between freedom and structure. When I visited their classroom for the first time, I thought a magic spell was cast upon all the kids where they had the freedom to choose their own work and doing the work in a calm environment. The classrooms are so bright and orderly, my daughter looks forward to going to school everyday. The personalized attention and the affection from the teachers is what makes LMMA unique. The feedback would be incomplete without mentioning the founders of the school. The passion with which they conduct the school is commendable. We are extremely thankful to LMMA for laying a strong foundation in our daughter's formative years.
