Andover School of Montessori

We chose ASM based on the recommendation from others parents who sent their pre-schooler there. We are so happy we did! Our son was enrolled at a daycare 'school' and it just got too chaotic for him -- he started acting out and regressing. He was bored and not stimulated in the proper manner. We decided the Montessori method would help him gain confidence and jumpstart his learning curriculum. He's a changed kid and loves school! The teachers are caring but firm, and the school is beautiful, clean, and you can tell the staff really believes in the culture of Montessori. I would highly recommend this school.

very regret to let my kid to attend this school some teachers there are well trained politicians. they are willing to find millions of excuses for their actions but do not want to look at the fact. the same is true for their leadership. nobody care about kids if you are not their most favorable ones. not able to offer an healthy, fair environment for little kids to grow would not recommend to other families

ASM is awesome. My daughter is a 5th grader and she enjoys her education every day. The teachers are caring and passionate about what they do. My daughter is growing much more confident due to the small class-size and the opportunities she gets to speak in a group setting. The curriculum is challenging and rewarding. I highly recommend ASM!

One of the main things that we value in Montessori curriculum is that they help kids with developing communication and interpersonal skills. My older son was a shy kid and I do remember times when he couldn t keep eye contact or shake principal s hand. I think Montessori school helped to develop his confidence and be able to communicate openly with other kids and adults, express his opinion and share his ideas. Open environment during classes kids are not confined and instead they study in small groups in different class areas depending on what project they are working on. Individual homework plans - my son is good at math and his teachers give him extra work for math trying to adjust for his skill level. Multi-age environment: youngest kids interact directly with the older students and it helps to develop a role model for them. Also the older kids learn patience when dealing with younger students. After Joanna DeStefanis joined the school as Head of School we noticed lots of positive changes. The school is starting a full day Summer program and they also hosts the after school program (before it was YMCA). The activities are more organized and supervised.

My kids have been going here for years and I'm very pleased with what they've learned and how well they've been supported emotionally and academically. The staff are dedicated and passionate and my kids are happy. I'm happy!
