"I have a son, age 8 and a daughter, age 6 in the elementary class. When children get to the elementary level, there’s an explosion of learning that is amazing to watch. They know more is expected of them, but they are allowed to work at their own pace and choose subjects that interest them. The hands-on materials really engage the children, and the emphasis on public speaking, drama and musical performance gives them added poise and confidence at an early age."

"Our son started at MSAE when he was 18-months-old, and we are very happy with the young man he is becoming because of the Montessori way. His development is a credit to the the warm and caring staff at the school. The people at MSAE are wonderful and we have made many lifelong friends. He is now almost 5-years-old, and we love watching him walk his little sister to her classroom everyday as she now attends MSAE as well!"

We searched long and hard for the right school for our daughters. Thank goodness we found this school, because it has everything we hoped for and more. The Montessori curriculum is absolutely amazing and the guides are highly qualified with top notch credentials and years of teaching experience. There are two assistant teachers to each classroom, one for mornings and one for afternoons, so everyone is fresh and ready for engaging the children in learning opportunities. In addition, this school brings in specialty instructors for enrichment subjects like art, music and drama. There are many field trips and even overnight trips for the elementary aged students. The administration is friendly, professional and, most importantly, available. There are always open lines of communication with the administration and the guides. We know these people really care about our children. There is a wonderful parent community and so many avenues to become involved as a volunteer. It's not just a school. It is a place that families can be confident that their children are receiving an education that is child centered and be part of a community of caring, wonderful people!

My two girls, aged 10 and 4 attend here and my wife and I couldn't be happier. The teachers are knowledgeable and nice, and the enrichment programs really allow our girls to get the most out if their time at school. The drama program is especially noteworthy. Other activities give more opportunities to learn and grow such as tumbling, cooking, Spanish, music and art. The Montessori program is authentic and my girls really thrive in this environment. Probably the best thing about this school is the open door policy for parents and the opportunities to really be a part of your child's school and education. I would recommend this school for anyone who truly wants the best that Montessori has to offer in a culturally diverse environment with plenty of bonuses and a warm and caring staff.
