Seven Acres Montessori

My son has been in this school for the last 7 years. He started when he was 2.5 years old, and we fell in love with the independence-fostering Montessori pedagogy. Now, as a fourth grader, he has flourished in so many ways, being supported and inspired, his curiosity engaged, his inquiring mind awakened, and his thirst for knowledge sparked. The way he has learned about the world and his place in it, math and language are impressive. Most importantly, he has acquired skills that will enhance his development for the rest of his life. All thanks to an extraordinary Montessori education from an AMI-accredited school. At the same time, we have not only found a safe, nurturing space for him, but we have also found a wonderful, welcoming, and diverse community that we are so honored to be a part of. Seven Acres is our home and family and great partners in our child's education and our development as parents. All in a nature-immersed campus. The best decision we have made as parents!

We've been part of the Seven Acres Montessori (SAM) community for nearly seven years, and it's truly one of the best decisions we've made for our daughters. The school nurtures not just academic growth but also confidence, independence, empathy, and a genuine love of learning. Our children feel known, supported, and inspired every day-they come home curious, joyful, and full of stories. The faculty is deeply dedicated, and the school's warm, inclusive culture has helped our whole family feel connected. As parents, we've found a community that shares our values and cares deeply about raising kind, capable humans. SAM is a special place, and we're so grateful to be part of it.

Seven Acres Montessori has given us all we ever dreamed of in building the foundation of our children's education. The teachers and all staff have truly been our partners in ensuring the success of our children's development; any concern, or communication brought to the staff is always met with warmth and gratitude. We have had both our children attend since Toddler, our eldest now in Lower Elementary and our youngest now in Primary, and we wholeheartedly believe that they wouldn't be who they are or where they are now if not for the devotion of the teachers they have had through the years. Each teacher brings their individual passions and style, but the Montessori philosophy is never lost. In being an AMI credentialed school, we feel confident that our children will always receive the same level of dedication to the 'Montessori Way', no matter who their teacher is. We feel blessed to call this school our home!

We currently have two of our children enrolled at SAM, with our youngest set to start in the fall. We started with our oldest in Toddler, and she attended primary and is now in Lower El. Our middle child is in primary, getting ready to move up to elementary! We love the school—staff, teachers, administration and the culture. Families are involved, hands on and truly care about our school, making it a wonderful environment for growth and learning (for kids and adults). We have lots of choices in Fairfield County, but we wouldn't go anywhere else. We love Seven Acres Montessori!
