There is grace and courtesy being taught every day and the children are very kind, respectful and friendly with one another which is the culture of the school.The teachers are caring, nurturing, and very knowledgeable in Montessori principles and methods and the children and the share great information with families.

This school truly has a big heart. We are incredibly grateful for what Dr. Jenny and Mr. Gus do for families in South Florida. Before being accepted into Roig Academy, my son struggled with motivation and anxiety. Our previous experience at a charter school was challenging, and he often felt defined by his test scores/test prep rather than his creative personally. At this school, the directors took the time to see him as a whole person. They recognized his strengths, believed in him, and welcomed him into a supportive and caring community. This is not just a school—it is a place where children are given autonomy and encouraged to advocate for themselves.Students take on meaningful responsibilities, including leadership roles and real-life projects such as organizing breakfasts and presentations. These experiences help build confidence and prepare them for the future. The administration works closely with families and is deeply committed to helping each child succeed. It truly feels like a team effort, and we are so thankful to be part of a community that is invested in our child’s growth and bright future. This school has truly changed our Homelife and we are so grateful. Thank you, Roig! Go Ravens!

I had the pleasure of having 2 of my kids go to this school for over 3 years. It is a one of a kind experience for children that are able to learn in very practical and nature involved way. The staff is great, teachers as well and it all feels like a large family.

As a parent, I came into this school community with the hope that my child’s unique needs would be met with understanding, creativity, and care. Unfortunately, we were asked to provide our own assistant for him — a request that made it clear the school does not have the necessary systems in place to support children who fall outside a narrow definition of “typical.” This expectation placed an unfair burden on our family and revealed a deeper issue in the school’s approach to diversity and inclusion.It is disappointing to see that the school is not equipped to support a full range of students, especially in a time when inclusive education should be the standard, not the exception. Diversity in learning styles, behaviors, and needs is a fact of every classroom, and it is the responsibility of educational institutions to rise to the challenge, not place that responsibility on families.

Cattoira Montessori is an excellent school. The dedication of the staff, the nurturing environment, and the outstanding educational approach are impressive. Our son started there in pre k after moving from another state. He was immediately welcomed by teachers and staff and made to feel right at home. It is a calm, orderly, and inviting environment. Teachers observe each child's needs and interests, providing individualized support and engaging lessons. This has helped our son excel academically and develop a genuine love for learning that has lasted throughout the years as he now enters college. He feels he owes that all to his 6 years at Cattoira, and will always consider it home.
