I have been extremely impressed with Cleveland Montessori these past 2yrs. They maintain rigorous academic standards while nurturing your child`s unique interests and personality and promoting a love of learning. They provide one-on-one help as needed with academics, while not making the child feel singled out or behind, they instead adapt to your child`s learning style, pace, and needs. They provide a warm and inclusive environment for children to grow into their best selves - my child has come out of his shell remarkably in the last year. The parent and student body is diverse and promotes inclusivity, acceptance, and community engagement.

We have had an excellent experience at Cleveland Montessori so far! My children all started in the primary classrooms. The teachers/staff are very welcoming to children and families. My kids have thrived in the Montessori environment. The teachers are all so caring and nurturing and my children absolutely adore them. Personally, I love the neighborhood the school is in (the kids get to walk to the nearby playground daily). Pre-Covid, we loved the different activities planned outside of normal school hours like the Valentine's Dance and Halloween activities - which are great times to connect with other parents!

Cleveland Montessori is unique in all the Cleveland area. They practice Montessori practices very closely. Children use materials throughout primary to upper elementary. They teach children as they are ready, not on grade level. The school is small, but caring and warm. They offer a close knit community where the staff always go above and beyond their duties. My daughter and her friend were supported as they initiated a project to raise money and then distribute sanitary items to homeless women. On the adolescent level, she received one-to-one support with writing. They also taught the children how to debate important, timely topics in the US culture and beyond.
