Having sent both of our sons here, my family has had the joy of being part of the Montessori Fountainhead School for the past 4.5 years. Honestly, it''s been the best part of being in Charleston. Knowing that our boys are happy, safe, learning, and well-loved provides such peace of mind. It''s a traditional Montessori school, you won''t find a tablet in site. There is an abundance of outdoor time, the kids learn life skills, and of course they are taught math, reading, writing, reasoning, history, geography, etc. Kids choose work and learn at their own pace, and the wonderful teachers are trained in how to support them in their journey. I could not have asked for a better early education for my kids.
