Hudson provided my daughter with an outstanding education.Her experience was transformative and remarkable.I fully credit the environment at Hudson for her tremendous success in high school.She was so prepared for high school academically and emotionally.She developed a love of learning and a confidence that she didn't have when she entered their program.The staff is exceptional and so dedicated to the success of their students.They foster a wonderful community of acceptance and encouragement.They not only teach the students to be incredibly successful academically, but they also teach them the importance of being exceptional human beings.My only regret is not finding Hudson earlier for her. I highly recommend Hudson Country Montessori to any parent.It was one of the best decisions I have made for my daughter's future success.

We moved our daughter to Hudson Country Montessori Elementary Program after her old elementary school left her bored and unchallenged. She's always been a curious kid, but we started to see her lose interest in learning-and that was a big red flag for us.Since starting at Hudson, we've seen a huge shift. She's engaged again, excited to share what she's working on, and learning how to manage her time more independently. The small class sizes and personalized attention make a real difference. She's challenged, but not overwhelmed, and she's gaining real-world skills that go beyond just academics.We've also appreciated how calm and thoughtful the school environment is. There's no pressure to fit in or rush through material-just a genuine focus on helping each child grow. We only wish we had made the switch sooner!
