Bournedale

I went here for seven years, read the 1 star reviews first. Take your kids and run so far away from this place. The teachers are bullies, immature, and not fit to work with children. They allowed girls to bully me for months, sometimes physically hurting me in front of them, and then I was the one that suffered at the hands of administration. You'll pay an absurd amount of money for your kid to go here and they won't get hot lunches, access to working computers, or a real arts and sports program. I wish I had never gone here, my life would have been so much better, it ruined my life and my two sisters lives until we got to high school. The scars I have from this place will never go away. Take it from a student who suffered here: Run. So Far. Away.

We love Bridgeview Montessori for so many reasons. Bridgeview develops the whole child. They allow the child to explore and create. Guiding the child, but not dictating the outcome. Children are allowed to find the conclusion. This creates self confidence, self awareness, collaboration and negotiating skills plus outstanding academic achievements.

Take the ratings here lightly. This is a PK-2 school so there is zero standard testing for them to be comparing the scores of in the greatschools stats. Bournedale is a great school, with a wonderful special needs program.
