Montessori Schools Of Snohomish County

The principal there makes the school horrible. And for learning I don't agree they do not help my child. Bullying is also an issue. You have no say in your child teacher even if there is an issue with the current teacher. They lie and say they have said things to you when they haven't. I would strongly recommend your child going to a different school if you have an option. Myself my daughter bestie and another child this year that I know of are being pulled from this school. For about the same reason.

What happened to this school lately? It's like a population explosion. Parking and pickup is horrible right now (2026). The Lighthouse program has fallen apart and lost many members. I have also seen where kids would have been expelled from school in my day, but are just given a talking-to now and still corrupt this school.

Great school for the kids. Classes are organized and the teachers do a great job of teaching the children. Large outdoor are for the kids to play too!

Great school! Staff is caring and loving

Parent of two Monroe kids. Very happy with the effort the teachers and PTA put forth to ensure the kids have a fun, challenging and safe place to learn and grow. One of mine has needed extra help and their behavioral programs suited her well even during Covid lockdown.

Firstly, I’ve been involved with this school for over 20 years. I’ve attended church at NCC, I have close friends who work here, and I’ve had my students attend here. The last two years have been incredibly disappointing. Since Mr. B has taken over as head of schools, the turnover of critical staff at this school has been frightening. My current understanding is that the school is even having to hire entirely new departments next year because of staff departures/transitions, as well as all but one principal being forced out, giving the remaining woman all of the power. All of these transitions have resulted in our assistant principals being overworked, our staff feeling unsupported, and confusion about who’s actually in charge at the school. I’m also disappointed in the school choosing to align itself with a specific brand of American conservative evangelicalism rather than the “bible based” identity it claims. My understanding is that when teachers talked or prayed about the unrest in Minnesota from earlier in this year, it was met with an email from admin asking them to “steer away from politics”. But it was perfectly okay for the head of schools to send out an easter message that complained about a Washington State millionaires tax? Apparently Mark 10:25 or the Apostle’s charitable living in Acts can be overlooked to embrace a gospel of prosperity rather than one rooted in the Bible. Needless to say, this institution has gone downhill. I love NCA, its teachers, and its families, but as an institution it’s fallen well out of line with its original mission. This school cares too much about optics, and less about practice. They even had a teacher inservice event last year where teachers were instructed to create accounts and give 5 star reviews to the school to bolster its online image. I’d be surprised if this review stays up long before they have it removed, but know this is all coming from someone who’s been around this place a long time and is sad to see how it’s fallen.
