Denali Montessori has a kind and gentle leading approach (while still maintaining accountability) expected of Montessori environments.

Wonderful! This school has been around 35 years and it shows! It is a well-rounded and fully immersed Montessori program. I'm impressed at how true they hold to the Montessori principles while maintaining state requirements. My child is happy at this school and is excited to attend each day and his teacher is supportive and compassionate!

Montessori believes you do work while at school and home is for family bonding. Each teacher has limited expectations for "home work" that are non-invasive to this time together...such as reading and practicing spelling words.

Each have a passion for teaching and in ASD, a teacher must choose their top choices of schools to work in because they're locked in/accepted once selected.

Most of the children seem to be of good character and influence.
