SHMA alumni and son of a former teacher. My daughter just started in the primary classroom and there was never any doubt where they would go to school. Thats because the community and academic opportunity offered at SHMA is unparalleled. My mom and I spent many long nights at the school with the Robinsons while they were getting things off the ground 25 years ago, and I see that the same sense of commitment to the school still exists all these years later. I still recognize a lot of the faculty from my time here, which is a testament to how well the school keeps continuing the legacy. I attended the school through eighth grade and really felt like I had an easy time in high school and college because of the skills I developed in terms of being a self-directed learner and an effective collaborator. I also feel that the sense of initiative and self disclipline that I developed from this style of education has been critical for me in starting my own business. SHMA is very special to my family and me, and Im so excited to see my daughter and in a couple more years my son, start this same journey.
My son is in the pre-primary classroom at SHMA and is excelling beyond my expectations. His teachers are by far some of the best I have seen and I have years of experience working as a consultant in the school setting. They understand child development and provide individualized instruction to each child. The SHMA environment follows the traditional Montessori approach and is very calm and relaxing. The low ratio provides for an optimal learning environment and allows for each child to receive ample attention and care. I love that going outside is a priority and electronic devices are not used. I will be sending him to SHMA next year and cannot wait to see my son grow along with his peers.
The elementary program is great but the middle school has some sexist policies and some weak teachers. Girls are told they cannot wear certain outfits because it “distracts the boys.” Dress codes are fine, but sending girls this message is inappropriate, dated, and certainly not aligned to the Montessori philosophy.
