My son graduated from 6 grades of this school. According to his current teachers in public school, he is a very responsible, organized, self- disciplined, and self- motivated student. All credits are to Montessori environment and very professional and supportive Montessori Pathways teaching team. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed the experience with them last year. Our child grew as a student and I think it has made all the difference in the world.
