Read what parents are saying about Steppingstone Center for the Potentially GiftedSteppingstone school is a school with a high academic demand on their students that is based on 100% mastery. Their curriculum is catered to gifted children. Unfortunately the curriculum itself is somewhat obsolete (e.g. the math book is from 2004). The students are encouraged and expected to be independent learners. They are taught the core of a subject then learn in the process through reading instructions. This is advantageous for kids that have good study habits and that are suited by this learning style. Every child is placed in a grade level according to their skills in every subject. Because grade level advancement is based on mastery this could mean that your child is placed in a lower grade level. Sometimes this will result in a child having to go to the elementary classroom for a subject even though they are officially in a middle school grade level. 1-2 hours of homework and weekend work are probable for most children. They make the most of the relatively small resources they have. They have a great hands-on science program. Art and music are nothing out of the ordinary. The sports curriculum includes fencing and swimming at different times of the year.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageCountry Hills Montessori is such an amazing school. Ms. Tanya and her staff are absolutely phenomenal at what they do. My son had speech delay, and the patience, support, positive affirmation that he received was great. He is thriving, and language is his favorite subject in school now. Country Hills provided education in various ways, and they have many different in school field trips that are creative and educational. The safety and health that Country Hills Montessori provide is wonderful and proficient. There are sinks in the classroom which i appreciate, because the children are taught the importance of good hygiene. They are also responsible for cleaning up after themselves, which teaches them organization skills as well. I appreciate the safety and security that the school has for the students and parents. The use of the brightwheel app allows the staff to communicate with parents immediately, and send pictures of your child to you throughout the day with your permission. It helps ease any anxiety or uncertainty that a parent may have.I also appreciate how Country Hills have an on campus playground, splash pad, and garden. Country Hills Montessori checked so many boxes that I was looking for in a school, and so much more. I am so grateful for the staff and the school. It is truly the best school that I know of, and I highly recommend it to any parent that want their child to grow, learn, and develop be very safe environment.Parent Review1y ago - Bais Menachem Academy
