Aquinas Montessori School

We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the Aquinas and Old Town Montessori community, and I wholeheartedly recommend this school to parents seeking a positive educational experience for their children. The academic program is outstanding, providing a strong foundation that not only prepared my child for middle school but instilled a genuine love for learning in him. The Montessori approach has not only nurtured our child's academic growth but also fostered essential life skills and a sense of independence. We are grateful for the enriching experience our child has had and believe it has set him up for a successful educational journey ahead.

Having had children enrolled in Aquinas for 4 years now, our opinion is that the school provides a safe environment and reasonable opportunities for children with mediocre ability. I would recommend other options for gifted children, but for an average child, it is an okay choice.

The teachers at Aquinas all have Bachelors, Masters of Education and AMI degrees. Most of them have had other work experiences that add to the richness of the classrooms. The Arts are a large part of the class curriculum; there is a musical produced every year as well as several concerts. The PE program follows the Presidential Physical Education Program. Yoga, piano and cello are offered after school. It was a very well rounded experience for my family. However, the high caliber of academics throughout the school was what attracted us and we were not disappointed.
