My child attens this school. Kids here do work 1 to 2 grades ahead. Great teachers. Dont bother too much about Ms. Levine. Except her everything is too good.
The academics are outstanding at this school! The children are learning two or more grades ahead of grade level if not more. Great school!
I am an Apple Tree middle schooler and have been going to this wonderful school since I was in 3rd grade. I think this is a great school and even thought it might be small it defiantly does not have small goals.
My daughter attended Apple Tree from Pre-K through middle school. I found the teachers to be very knowledeable, kind and very attentative to each child and their education. Although my daughter has graduated and is now in High School, her basis for loving education was planted in Apple Tree.
My son has been attending ATM since Pre-K and I am amazed at what he is doing in the first grade. It is a very well rounded and cultural education. He is basically at the same level as my niece who is in 3rd grade in New York State, mind you NY is number 6 of 50 states in terms of public education, so it is very good. Florida is number 39. My son is doing similar work in the 1st grade at ATM. Yes Ms. Levin has little to no personality at all, but who cares the rest of her staff does and they all do a great job! Ms. Levine sets the rules and everyone follows and the SAT results each year prove that her method, no matter how unfriendly, is interpreted and put to 'friendly' use by her teachers and staff. I am very grateful to ATM.
My daughter has been going to ATM since she was 3 (Pre-K). She is now in the 3rd grade at ATM. We moved her to another montessori school in the area for 2nd grade, the school we moved her to was a total waste of time due to the fact that the teacher was not good at all and I felt that the principal had no idea how to develop good teachers or teaching methods. I must say that Apple Tree Montessori is a very good school. I am amazed at how much my daughter has progressed in Math and Science at this school. The teachers are very caring and communicate effectively with the parents. My daughter loves the school, the teachers and the principal.
My Daughter has been going there since pre_k and it has been the best, she is very advanced compared with the kids that go to public school. I Know Miss Levyn is very simpatic, but she is nice.besides; it is a very peacefull and safety place.
I love the school and the teachers are doing excellent job there. I have a good communication with them. My son is learning so much there. I'm so happy
My child attended ATM from Pre-K to 8th grade. She took an entrance exam for 8th grade at Sagemont and had one of the highest scores ever for 8th grade. As a result she was offered a full scholarship for the remainder of the year and became eligible for the Best and Brightest Scholarship for 9th grade. ATM provided my child with a sound moral and educational foundation and helped open many doors. This school focuses on education and helps prepare children for the next level. This is the best thing I ever did for my child. The teachers are friendly and the Head Mistress is very respected by the student body. ATM provides a fun and nurturing learning environment while focusing on the individuals needs and providing a sound education. My child has left this school as a well rounded, autonomous, educated individual.
It is all about money there and no concern for whether the student advances at his own pace. This school is a waste of money for gifted students. I was very disappointed in their Kindergarten and first grade teachers. This is day care not quality education.
