Reviews of Tessa International School (Kindergarten)

Molly Wilson

Tessa is the best school for our family. I stumbled upon it and I would keep my girls there through High School if they grow that big. Tessa has taught my kids manners, social etiquette, academics, and motivation. And all in Spanish!!!! I absolutely love this school and I will continue to support them in any capacity I can beyond my kids' education

There's no better gift you can give your child than the gift of bilingualism. Countless studies show that bilingual children perform better on standardized tests, have better focus, stronger emotional skills - the list goes on and on and on. My daughter started Tessa at 2.5 y/o and within 12 months she was DREAMING in Spanish! If you care about giving your kids the best possible head start and they've got the opportunity to attend I highly recommend enrolling at Tessa.

We have been very happy with our experience at TESSA this year and are constantly pleasantly surprised with our child's progress, both with her vocabulary but also the range of social and emotional learning they do. The staff and administrators are caring, open and helpful at all times. It's been a great environment for our family.

We sent our son to the Tessa summer program and he had a great time. They have multiple language programs with a fantastic staff. The staff was very flexible and accommodating as it was our son’s first full day school and drop off experience. I would recommend the school to the those who are in the area who would like to expose their children to a well structured bilingual program.

We learned about Tessa when taking our toddler to classes at the Monroe centre - and we're so glad we discovered this school! Our son is enrolled in French 2's program three days a week and is well on his way to becoming trilingual. The teachers are a dream, they are all so caring and nurturing and very attentive to all the children in the classroom. We love that there is a mix of nationalities represented in his class and throughout the whole school. The IB values and curriculum ensures that he is receiving a well rounded, holistic, intellectually rigorous education. The school also celebrates holidays and rituals from around the globe, stimulating cross-cultural learning and conversation. Our son is very happy attending Tessa and after just a few months we see him flourishing as he's encouraged to become a confident, curious and autonomous little person in his community and in the world.

As other reviews point out, the bilingual curriculum is great - our daughter has advanced her Spanish speech and comprehension unbelievably in a few months (and they also offer French and Mandarin). However, what has always stood out to my wife and I is the warmness of the teachers and administration. They really do care about building a great school where children feel welcomed and loved. The classrooms are bright and spacious and it just feels like a great environment for children to learn. We look forward to Tessa continuing to grow and expand!
