Altamonte Montessori School

We are so happy that we chose Altamonte Montessori for our kids’ early education. Our kids are now in public school and because of this school, the great teachers and the Montessori style of teaching they are ahead of their peers. After touring a number of pre-​schools, we chose this one because of how quiet and immersed the children were in their lessons while we toured. All the other schools had kids playing around, and chatting… they didn’t seem to be learning very much. The teachers work one-​on-​one with the children and the children go at their own pace. If they can move ahead, they are free to do that. Going to school there was like getting private tutoring everyday. They compete against their personal best rather than each other. The children also learn how to socialize with one another; big kids learn to look out for the little kids and they all learn to treat each other with respect. That’s rare to find in any school! Now that my kids are in a traditional school, they easily recognize inappropriate behaviour and choose their friends carefully.

Outstanding alternative to public schools and cookie cutter daycare academies. We have 2 children enrolled in their 2^nd year at the Altamonte Montessori school. 4yo in VPK and 6yo in 1^st grade. When we were deciding between all the options for our childrens’ early education, our number 1 criteria was finding a school that would develop a strong educational foundation to build from. When we visited a handful of schools, this one stood out because of the quality of teachers that they have. Very educated, patient, caring and confident. The director communicates very well with the parents and is proud of their ability to harness and expand a child’s mind. When we took the tour, we were impressed with how advanced the students were and before long, our children were right there with them. The second year is even better now that our oldest is in 1^st grade and impresses us with her reading, math and writing skills… thanks to the teachers. Small classes with plenty of one on one attention and nice size playground with plenty of shade. Great affordable alternative to private and public school for your little scholar. This school offers Pre-​K to 3^rd Grade.
