If I had other choices for Montessori middle, we'd take a different path. Since we don't, we deal. We'd choose this one before other options for the particular child, but we may choose other options for our other children.

My daughter has people putting condoms in her backpack regularly, is called names constantly, and she does not have it rough. I have no idea how the parents of other students are not raising hell, other than maybe these students are not disclosing to their parents what is occurring.

Know at least one child was threatened with gun violence. The first response was that the victim of this was that they could stay home. Highly inappropriate. It seems like rampant bullying occurs and children mostly keep it to themselves. Is that not expected? Of course they are keeping it quiet. Where is the programming that is getting on top of this?

My child began attending Bryant this year as a Pre-K. She shares a class with Kindergartners and absolutely loves it. This school follows the Montessori method, which isn't for every child, but Bryant provides info sessions and plenty of opportunities for parents to make the best decision. I'm most excited about my 4 year old getting to experience a normal school setting over a daycare/pre-school one. Plus this school goes all the way to 8th grade, so many of the classmates she has now will be with her through Middle School. Overall we are very satisfied with Bryant.

My daughter has been at Bryant for three years. We absolutely love Bryant! She is able to express herself in a free thinking environment. I love the muti-grade classrooms as I feel it gives the children a leg up in their education. I love how they are taught about peace and respecting themselves, each other and their school. I love how they have gardens for the children to work in. Bryant Montessori is an excellent school, I would recommend to anyone! I truly feel blessed my daughter will be attending Bryant until she enters high school. I can't express enough how thankful I am for Bryant. I only wish there were more Montessori schools in Tacoma for parents to choose from.

I visited Bryant elementary some years ago. I was very excited to see such an innovative program with children from preschool to middle school who shared an enriched environment that led them on a path of self discovery and understanding about themselves and their place in the world. I was especially impressed with the teachers and their principal who opened the way for a whole Montessori model to unfold in a public school. It felt great to be in a place where each teacher understood the needs of children on each plane of development. Has anyone written a story about this amazing school? It should be a model for our state.
