Montessori Academy Of Virginia

My child has attended this school for a few years. I like the school and feel they do a great job teaching all of the children. Most of the children are well behaved and polite. Last year the class sizes were large, but this year I believe they are around 14-15 children per class. I was disappointed in the summer camp this year because there was little done to help the children retain what they had learned throughout the school year. The previous summer was very similar to the school year and had teachers participating. This year was all teacher aids and there were several times I noticed things that seemed to be off from the standards and structure the school usually sets. Overall the school is clean, well organized, and the structure of the classroom helps my child learn and feel secure.

We love this school! They work very hard to meet every child's needs and they truly respect each child for who they are. The teachers and staff have been very accommodating with our requests for our child. We've noticed a huge improvement in our child's development (intellectual as well as emotional). He loves going to school there!

It is ok..not what it used to be. It is very commercial and they are introducing new teachers and projecting as if they are well known in the community. I have just removed my son after 1 year...the only reason I kept there the whole year was because of the contract I signed where I don't have a choice but to pay the whole year's fees whether or not I like the school. Our son is now going to a different school and is very happy. There are newer and much better children's schools in VB that will really provide good environment for your child's growth. I have also heard similar stories from other parents. Do check out with other parents before you join this school. Also try out other newer schools in the area that offer superior overall development of your kids.

My son went to this school for age 2/3. We liked the teaching, classrooms and school overall. He excelled and did well at the school and loved to attend each day. However, there were some obvious down falls that the school could o to be better. For one, they do not administer any medication, even an inhailer or and epi-pen for allergy such as a bee sting. No lunch provided and they will not heat/warm lunch up. The playground was nice but had lots of mosquitoes and when I mentioned this, the reaction I got was "oh". We did not put our son back there this year, we opted for another Montessori school a few miles away.
