Montessori Family School is an amazing place. The teachers are kind and caring and the community is so much like a big family.

My 3 year old son is in the Redwood class and we love his teachers. They are so patience and kind with him, and he isn't the easiest child to deal with! I've also noticed that he has started to learn a lot. I was amazed when he came home the other day and showed me the African and North American content on the map!

Our child attended upper elementary and middle school at MFS. UE teachers were generally good and caring, but one was particularly insensitive to kids. Middle school was a disaster due to complete lack of structured learning and an unwillingness to recognize that self-directed learning does not work for all kids. Three kids, including ours, were left struggling to catch up virtually on their own. It was an extremely stressful experience for our child and for us parents alike. We left mid-year.

This school has been the biggest blessing possible for our family. My daughter is thriving here. She is being challenged academically and at the same time in a safe and loving environment.

I think common core is going to produce a bunch of dumb adults. Once the kids are grown and out in the real world they aren't going to know how to solve any problem without writing out the answer step by step

I think common core will definitely make moving families feel more confident in their school district choices, but I definitely worry about the learning curve as common core is implemented.
