We've had a great experience at North Park. I would highly recommend the school to anyone wanting to support our public schools. My children were involved in both the traditional curriculum as well as the Montessori program. Our children were personally helped with their challenges along the way and they were able to excel, in the safe and friendly environment. They have great parent involvement and all extra curricular events we've attended have been great successes.

I am super happy with my experience at North Park Montessori. The teaching staff is excellent and we are so pleased with the addition of Pamm Lee. What a caring, challenging, excellent Monetessori teacher. We came from a private Montessori to the public Montessori and couldn't be happier. The interaction between both the 'regular' public school and the Montessori program is seamless. Thank you everyone for making my daughters learning experience something we all treasure!

We have two children at North Park Montessori. The education they have received has been outstanding. Between the Montessori approach to education, the dedication of the teaching staff and the enthusiastic parental involvement, our kids have received a caring and challenging elementary school experience.

I am very concerned about the bureaucratic nit-picking that goes on between the Montessori teachers and North Park regular ED. The classroom squabbles and the blatant shunning of the new upper level Montessori teacher. This person has years of experience working with kids and should have the red carpet rolled out before her .. instead she is meet with trivial political back biting bickering! Highly upsetting!

You will not find higher quality Montessori teachers in Michigan, maybe the country. We moved from the district in '05 after attending Wellerwood/ North Park for 5 years and miss it very much. The school environment is warm and friendly. The programs, theatre productions and hands-on projects, like the garden, contribute to the family atmosphere provided for students and parents alike. Parent involvement is phenominal at North Park.
