West Hills STEM Academy

Our kids have really been thriving here.

We joined Naval Avenue this year with 2 of our kids and have had a great experience. Teachers who are engaged and love what they do, very good at communicating. They have specialists to assist those who need extra help and have worked really hard at bringing the pandemic kids up to the grade level with small work groups and individual instruction. I think it is important to note that parent involvement is crucial to a better school experience, you get out what you put into it. We collaborate with the teachers to work on each of our kids challenges and opportunities and see vast improvement in their academic and social/emotional skills. As soon as a bully issue arose, we spoke with the teacher who not only dealt with the individual student, but also did an entire unit for the class on standby bullying and how it affects people too. I was impressed and learned the bully apologized to my kid and they have been friends since. We were given an opportunity to move our kids and have decided we like where they are and the support from this school has been great.

Principal is GREAT who looks after the kids, including my GRANDSON who graduated this year. May God Bless him.

As parents of three boys, we wanted to find a place where each of them could thrive in their own way. Discovery Montessori has exceeded our expectations and has been instrumental in helping all three of our sons flourish.Our oldest, who tends to be all over the place, has developed confidence and a sense of independence through the gentle encouragement of the teachers. The environment is nurturing yet structured, allowing him to explore at his own pace, while still feeling supported.For our middle child, Montessori’s hands-on, child-centered approach has been perfect for his shy and curious nature. He has embraced learning with enthusiasm and is constantly surprising us with new skills and knowledge.Our youngest, even though he’s still very little, has benefited from the Montessori environment’s focus on early learning.
