Arborland Montessori Children's Academy

I highly recommend any parent to send their children to Arborland. The staff care so much about each child, whether it's the office staff or the kitchen staff. I've worked at Arborland for 5 years and I feel very lucky to work with the staff and the wonderful children that attend. I continue to be amazed at the high standards held and how the children continue to reach them. I attended elementary public school and I wish Arborland would have been an option for my education.

This school continues to amaze me and what it has done for my child! It isn't just about the academics, but teaches to the whole child - self discipline, organization, treating others with respect, thinking through consequences of one's actions, respect for different cultures - all in addition to the high academic standards. The hands on learning, educational field trips, the teacher dedication - why would anyone want to go anywhere else?

"The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires" William Arthur Ward The Montessori teachers' goal is always to inspire and ignite the child's imagination to research, explore, think outside the box, make new discoveries and learn new things. This is what makes Arborland Montessori Children's Academy such a special school. All the teachers strive to inspire the child.

Elementary teacher student ratio is 12 to1. Teachers are awesome. Kids can learn at their own pace but the do teach one grade level higher compare to public school so everyone is learning much more. Cost is so much lower than Fairmont. If you're looking for small private school, I highly recommend Arborland.

Arborland does not only teach what a child needs to know academically to succeed but they also teach life skills. I attended this school from Pre-K to 6th grade. The school has definitely grown but the atmosphere is still a small loving family. Everyone knows everyone's name and no matter how long it has been since you last visited, you are still considered family. Arborland teaches with ways I think helped me to be able to adapt to a situation no matter what is happening. The teachers there are beyond what a teacher is considered. They care about you. Not only how you learn but how you are in your everyday life. Arborland will always be a part of me and my family. Without Arborland and the teachers I wouldn't be who I am today.

Arborland has been a great place to work. I am also very fortunate to have my son attend there as well. He is going to be entering the fourth grade next year. I want to thank his prior teachers , he is fully prepared for the upper elementary. Arborland is a school where parents can feel good about the education and care their children are receiving.

All the staff members at Arborland are great. They all work hard and teach every child uniquely as an individual. Teachers at Arborland never teach for the sake of teaching. Instead, they strive to make a difference in every child's life and education. Looking back at my own childhood years, I would have loved to come to school at Arborland. Learning would have been more exciting. It's a great school to send your child to. This school is worth the visit.

I really enjoy this school its great especially the way they teach how fast the children learn to read and write at such a young age sooner than the public school system. i went to public school all my life and i wish my parents would of taken me here. Its great!

Prior to enrolling our daughter Arborland, we conducted an extensive search for a school that would provide the best overall learning environment. Arborland has far exceeded our expectations. Our daughter entered Arborland at 4 1/2 years of age and having no prior school experience. The dedicated and highly talented teachers and staff at Arborland have created such a nuturing, motivating and individualized learning environment, and our daughter has flourished as a result. We were so pleased with our daughter's first year at Arborland, that we enrolled her younger brother into the Pre-K program- and he loves it! The principal, teachers and staff are visible, accessible and very engaged. It is evident that the primary goal is to ensure the school provides a strong foundation for its children, but also a comfortable and familial-like environment for the parents and families of the children. We would recommend Arborland to anyone who is seeking a program that promotes a wonderful balance of advanced learning, confidence, leadership, social graces and respect.

I heard from several friends about Arborland when I was looking for the best school for my child. The Arborland provides best environment and newest materials for learning. The teacher fully understands chlid's stengths and weaknesses with relationship and daily close observation. The principal , staff, teacher are wonderful. I don't worry about my son at school because they guide and care like one of my family members does. I rate the Arborland is two-thumbs up.
