Clover Avenue Elementary School

Our family had the most amazing two years at New World Montessori! From day one, we felt welcomed into a nurturing, positive community, and our child absolutely thrived in the environment. The preschool is set up perfectly to encourage independence and curiosity, and our child loved every minute of it.The teachers here are nothing short of fantastic. They're not just experts in the Montessori method, but also incredibly caring, patient, and attentive to each child's needs. They took the time to really understand our child's strengths and helped them grow both academically and socially in ways that exceeded our expectations.We really appreciated the variety of extracurricular offerings, too! From learning a second language to participating in sports and swimming, the environment was incredibly enriching. Since these activities took place during the school day, our child still had plenty of time to rest and relax at home.After two years at NWMS our family had to move to a different state, and while we were sad to leave, we couldn't be more grateful for the foundation this preschool provided. Our child started their new school completely prepared and confident, ready to take on new challenges without missing a beat. The Montessori method truly fostered a love for learning, and the skills they developed -- problem-solving, independence, and collaboration -- have made the transition to a new school so much easier.Socially, our child has flourished, too. Thanks to the mixed-age classrooms and the focus on community, they learned how to work well with others and gained real confidence in their abilities. It's clear that the strong interpersonal skills and sense of empathy they developed at NWMS have carried over to their new school.We can't say enough good things about our experience. It's been a huge part of our child's early growth and success, and we highly recommend it to any family looking for a loving and enriching preschool environment.

I don’t know why I’m even writing this but this school has been both a life saver and the opposite. Redeemer helps me a lot with God but not so much the students. For example when there’s a problem in middle school with some of the kids, you can’t get away from it even if you wanted to bc it’s so small. Disabilities is also a pretty big problem here…But overall I think this is a good school, it’s the kids who mess it up… and also I am leaving this year but it’s not just bc of what I said.

We have been here with our two kids since TK. This school has a foundationally strong academic program, coupled with a tight-knit family community. The school successfully leverages their staff, parents and students to create a positive whole child experience. It's big enough to provide choice, yet small enough that your child does not get lost in the mix of things. Their elementary to middle school transition program is phenomenal. They used a variety of strategies to truly support our child's executive functioning skills to better prepare them to juggle multiple subjects and teachers. The staff and teacher truly care about kids, and you don't often find that throughout a school. It is part of the culture of the school.
