Wouldn’t recommend. I was so excited to try this place/the Montessori method with my children. There were elements that I really liked, but discipline was not one of them. They don’t deal well with occasional bad behaviors. As one example, rather than working with an emotional child who may need a little extra time or TLC, they make the parent come pick up the child when they act out. Incredibly inconvenient for working parents. It’s like they expect perfect children or something. I was soooo disappointed.
Edit based on The school’s response below: Physical reactions, or as they so dramatically put it, “violence,” was not the only reason my child received “bad reports” or I was called at work. Simply not listening/following rules or talking back resulted in a write-up or call. What is up with schools writing up demerits for any bad choices, anyway? Look, if you have calm, easy children, this place is probably great. However, if you have an outspoken, emotionally intense kid that tests boundaries often, especially with new people, I don’t recommend this place. I was upset with this summer experience, but felt so much better once his new school started and, although I feared the worse, it was a totally different experience! No write-ups, no calls about negative behavior, no calls to come pick him up. It was obvious to me that the new place, which was also strict (Catholic), but the teachers were different—extremely loving and compassionate, and most importantly, were better prepared with tools to address behaviors in children that are not perfect.
