Alexander Montessori has been wonderful for our children. They started in the toddler program and are now graduating from grade 5. In looking for a new private middle school I realize how well Alexander Montessori has prepared them. They have received a wonderful education in a loving environment. We know they are well prepared for the next step.
Alexander is the right spot for your child! Our daughter is attending now and she just loves it! She is excelling far beyond her grade level and it's due to the caring and competent teachers and staff. We would highly recommend this school. Our second daughter will also be joining next Fall.
My daughter has been at Alexander School since she was Eighteen Months old, she has excelled in every way. The Toddler program and the Preschool programs are phenomenal, if you want your child to have the best education possible Alexander is the way to go!
Alexander Montessori is a great school. The academics are excellent. It provides a safe and nurturing environment. The class size is small. The teachers and administration are always available to parents. There are monthly parent visit days to spend an hour with your child to see what they are working on. My son was more than prepared to attend any middle school. The music program needs a new director and some of the assistants need to be replaced. I would recommend this school to any parent.
I am not sure I understand the negative reviews that state that the school seems more concerned about money than educating children. These people must not understand that the costs of education are constantly rising and that the kind of attention you get at a Montessori school comes with price. Also, unlike what I see in other schools, all the materials are included in the tuition. It is a great school and worth the price.
I attended Alexander from "pre-"pre-school through 6th grade (the limit, at the time.) It prepared me so well, that my new middle school afterward (another private school in Miami that I will leave unnamed, where my brother and I were terribly bullied) hardly had anything new to teach me! Now I am a full-scholarship college student, as is my older brother--both in the Honors College at our university. My brother is starting applications for PhD programs, and I am getting ready for the MCAT. My younger sister just graduated a National Merit Scholar and has a full ride scholarship for college. This school and the foundations it gave us are what allowed us to succeed--we couldn't be happier. Best decision our parents EVER made for our education! We loved it there, and were challenged in a way I wasn't again until high school AP classes. Worth every penny--take it from us!
Awful, Awful, Awful. This school was an awful experience for us. The director is cold and only concerned with you money (I agree with another reviewer). We are much happier in another school. Please check all of your options before sending your child to this school.
The school in my opinion is overated. There is a lot of hoopla about this school and I would agree with the other reviews that rate this school as very poor.
Our daugher has attended preschool at this facility and we could not be more pleased. She reads without difficulty, does creative art projects, is excited about math and can count and write to 100 without help. She starts Kindergarten in 2 weeks. There are many ways for parents to be involved in the school and in the classroom. Parental participation is quite high. The extracurricular activites include soccer, tennis, swimming - but also Mandarin Chinese, string instruments, music appreciation, ceramics, dance and more. Expensive, yes. But what is more important than your childs education. We considered many schools before chosing this one and couldn't be happier with our choice.
Parents please beware. I had my child in this school last year and it was an awful experience! The Director of elementary school is more concerned about your pockets than your children. Never again!
