Al-Hamra Academy

Due to my children's closeness in age, I've been dealing with NGES for six years now. My oldest joined NGES at three years old. He did two years of pre-k, completed kindergarten and 1st grade, and then moved on to NSES. My other child will be moving to NSES as well. He also attended NGES for two years of pre-K, completed kindergarten, and is now completing 1st grade. Covid was part of our experience regarding NGES, and I have to say that the teachers did the best they could. Every morning, there were videos, songs, and classwork; they all tried their very best. Fast forward to 2024, and I can't thank them enough for how wonderful they all have been in helping my kids succeed and catching up on the skills missed during COVID-19. The teachers are entirely involved in the children's education. One of my kids has special needs, and they have bent over backward for him to progress and learn. It isn't easy, but they have taken on the challenge. Every staff member is fantastic at NGES.

As an administrator at our Montessori school, I am continually inspired by the dedication of our staff and the incredible community we've built together. Our program is rooted in a deep respect for each child's natural development, and it shows in everything we do — from our carefully prepared environments to the individualized attention every student receives. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of Montessori philosophy while creating a warm, inclusive space where children truly thrive. It is a privilege to serve this community every day, and I am proud of the meaningful work happening within our walls.

The teachers and principal are so committed to their students. We love it here. I know that my children are cared about and also held to high standards.
