I couldn't be more pleased with this school and the direction they take in quality education. My son is learning and growing so much there. He wants to go every day, even on the weekends lol. He is learning so much independence and thriving in areas where his strengths are and growing consistently in all others. He is taught so much more beyond basic schooling. So many little details in the Montessori way that accumulate into big differences and sets them apart from the public school system. Oaks Montessori is amazing. This is what education should be like everywhere for every child.
Endorse Oaks Montessori School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
