School Reviews
| 5 We love this amazing school! We have been so fortunate to part of this community for the past 6 years and are so pleased with our experience. The teachers are warm and nurturing while providing excellent Montessori education. The skills my children gained at COLM will serve them for a lifetime: independence, empathy, problem solving, love of learning, self-confidence, and academic knowledge. - Posted by Parent - Megan |
| 5 I am so thrilled with how my children have grown under the loving guidance of the staff at COLM. COLM is a small, family oriented Montessori school located on a beautiful campus with a working garden and fully equipped classrooms, and one of the few schools in the Metro area to incorporate the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd curriculum. The teachers are always available to talk, and the camaraderie among the parents is wonderful. The whole school feels like an extension of our family - we are so glad we gave our children this great start to their school career. - Posted by Parent - stefa |
