As a parent of children who have attended other Montessori schools, I can tell you that Each member of the staff has taken great care in developing and delivering authentic Montessori experiences every day. The children are not only taught advanced concepts at every grade level, they are also include sprititual development, home economics in Spanish Emersion, care of your natural environment and the freedom to research topics of interest to highlight a few items.

Offered a hand book that made no sense - many paragraphs of writing but no real information about the school. Disappointing!
