The school does have a lot of motivated teachers. The preschool/kindergarten program is excellent, as is the 9-12. The main weakness is the 6-9 program. While they clearly do want to do a good job, communication is difficult with both lead teachers. Expressing concerns is a great deal more effort than it should be, to avoid a defensive response. They seem persuaded of their Infallibility. Even informational emails can come across as protecting turf and defending against challenges that have not been made. We are glad to be done with this now in hindsight we would have chosen the other Montessorri school in town. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
