The Greenmount School

WONDERFUL,WONDERFUL school! The Kindergarten teacher is the most amazing teacher and ANY child would be blessed to be in class with her.

The school has an awesome sense of community that is hard to find at other schools. The teachers are phenomenal and the kids are learning real-world stuff as opposed to being taught to pass a state test.

The Kindergarten teacher is the most engaged and dynamic educator I've ever met. She teaches kids to learn through experience and I am always amazed at how she gets the kids to follow along.

The school is designed to challenge the children. The school is committed to teaching, challenging, and most importantly invoking creativity. For example, a noted children's author Nancy Patz ( you can look her up) held a writing workshop for the eight graders. This workshop resulted in the eigth grader writing, illustrating, and yes PUBLISHING three children books. This is the kind of place that you want your child to belong to; Where he/she challenged to expect and achieve success.

We enrolled our daughter at GreenMount starting in 6th grade, coming from a fine public school in Baltimore County. I'm so glad we did. Her teachers not only expect the kids to do their best, but show them how. The small class size means that kids are engaged in learning (no hiding out, or waiting while the teacher focuses elsewhere). The relationship between teachers and students, and among the students, are respectful, focused on learning, and the engagement among the middle schoolers is genuine. Themed studies are an important method for the students to investigate ideas, information, and competing perspectives. The school lives and teaches the core values for building and tending a diverse community. We could not be happier with the school.
