James Stephens Montessori School

My son has been going to JSM for three years now. I have been very pleased with the learning experience my son has had at this school. In comparison with a regular structured public school a child learns at a much higher degree at this one. The children are learning a lot and having fun while doing it. The staff at this school is doing a remarkable job with our children. I feel as a parent you should put your child in the best school possible and I have chosen just that. My child shows a great deal of self worth and determination from the encouragement he gains from this school. This school not only teaches the basics, they go way beyond that with teaching manners also. I am very glad that this school has been growing in grade levels and I hope & pray that it continues.

I, as a parent, rate JSM as a 5 star school. My children has attended the school since it opened in the fall of 2004 and will remain there through the highest grade level offered. I have witnessed first hand the knowledge these children retain at such a young age when it's taught in a hands on manner. Because of the school's size, and its capable staff, this school has been a great success not only for my children, but for all of the wonderful children who are--and those who will be--a part of are blessed to experience.
