Reviews of Montessori School of New York International (Kindergarten)

Marc Haynes

My four year old daughter has been attending this school for their summer program, and I couldn't give higher praise. The staff are so kind, caring, thoughtful to my daughter and she often says how she misses her classmates and especially her teachers when she isn't there. Developmentally, I've noticed great advancement in her learning, vocabulary, and writing. They take weekly field trips over summer and each is very educational and has my daughter asking to go back to each place to show me what she learned! Thank you to the teachers and staff for making this summer so great.

My son and daughter both attend and I couldn't be happier. My son has started reading even though he is just 4. They both love going to school, and adore all their teachers. I especially enjoy the multicultural focus, both my children have classmates from all around the world - many have parents from the United Nations so we have interesting, informative playdates!! My children come home with many interesting projects they have made and are proud of, and have increased their vocabularies with words that sometimes really surprise me. I find the staff to be knowledgeable, caring and full of energy- which I feel is important for preschoolers. My daughter can do third grade math even though she is only in Kindergarten. And they love to do "homework" which I think is important for their future. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants a fun, learning environment for their children. I'll be here till they graduate.

Amazing school! I absolutely love it, and the content of the work is definitely above average, and teaches in-depth and challenging work. Especially Ms. Paul and Ms. Sinha.

This school, was in my opinion, one of the worst experience's of my child's life. In the beginning of enrolling him here, he loved it, although gradually, after a couple months, he started to loathe it. He would do anything in his power not to go; he would even pretend sickness if necessary. Also, the school didn't let parents go into the building, which I particularly though was strange. After asking my child what was wrong, in broken english he answered, "the teachers are mean." After that, I immediately took him out and transferred him to another school.

My children entered Montessori International School of New York in different age groups- a toddler and beginner of upper elementary - and had a smooth transition with Summer Camp. They have been looking forward to both School year and Summer Camp, 3 years later. They love the challenge of an early " one more step forward in learning " ( for example, my son is going to be in Kindergarten but he writes, spells and does math ), the celebration of different cultures, the encouragement to look around, observe and explore. They work hard and rehearse the entire year for the much beloved End of Year Performance,when all the children are real stars on a stage!

Two of my three children started at this Montessori. Fantastic environment and even better staff and administration. Always cooperative and helpful. My daughter graduated from the London School of Economics last year and starts work on her PhD next year. I believe it is because of the start she got here.
