I can’t say enough about how this school’s approach to learning has benefitted my children. My daughter is extremely high achieving, a little OCD, and tends to stress herself out seeking perfection. The Montessori model gave her a weekly to-do list, which allowed her to feel in control, structured, and focussed. She has been so successful there (I still remember the day she brought home a division worksheet in Kindergarten, her teacher just wanted to see if she could do it – she aced it!).
My son has a completely different learning style. He is more social, and easily talks himself out of hard work. And yet somehow, the same education model has worked wonders with him. He has become a little leader, helps his friends, and works on the same “work” over and over again until he gets it. I think the teachers spend an unusual amount of time evaluating each student (compared to other education models). They stress individualized learning to the extent that two very different kids can both be extremely successful – academically and socially. I am so impressed!!!

Contrarily to popular belief distributed by the parent text-warriors in the reviews, this school is nothing short of a disaster. Now not everything is miserable here, when I had attended this school I had a fantastic 4-6 teacher. She left the year after I did, and all off the other teachers had no idea what they were doing. The school discipline system is nothing short of pathetic; you can get away with anything there. Also, the kids without learning disability were placed in the same class as the rest. That resulted in those children harming the others and the attackers getting away with free with punches and general harm to others. The education left me defenseless for middle school, and into high school now. As a student, I hope that any parents reading this would honestly reconsider this school. It does not prepare you for following schools, and sidetracks to less important values in education.

Two stars only because of my teacher.

We didn’t know much about the Montessori method of education before starting our kids at Free Horizon Montessori at age 3, but we are so grateful now to have found this school. Multi-age classrooms and freedom to move make so much sense! Our kiddos have thrived with FHM’s focus on individualized Montessori education, independence, character education, and global citizenship. Free Horizon Montessori fosters our kids’ love for learning and challenges them academically. Respect for others, self, and the environment is intrinsically taught and practiced, which makes our school a really special place to be. FHM’s administration and staff are amazingly dedicated. Parents are very involved in many volunteer capacities. It really does take a village, and our village is amazing! We are so lucky to have this public Montessori option for preschool to 8th grade in our community.
