Our children have been at Hudson Montessori since preschool and have excelled in academics and life skills. The middle school program is progressive and serves the young adult very well. I would say there are as many gifted students (if not more) at the school as those needing remedial assistance. The difference with a Montessori education (especially at HMS) is the staff is PROactive as opposed to REactive. We have experienced an effort to identify possible learning issues BEFORE they were a problem. We couldn't be happier with our children's education from Hudson Montessori and feel it has been a bargain compared to other schools in the area.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Hudson Montessori School. The teachers, staff and parents are like a family and every one of them has my children's and my family's best interest in mind. I have found them very understanding and flexible, in regards to my parenting and our families needs while expertly educating my children in academics and in life. If you take some time to learn about how children learn and grow, you will understand the genius behind the Montessori philosophy. My children have absolutely flourished in ways they never could have attending a traditional school and compared to other area private schools, the tuition is a bargain. The best thing you can do is take a tour and see the school for yourself.

I have 3 children who attend this school in levels from Children's House to Upper Elementary. We have been very pleased with the school. I have to strongly disagree with the previous reviewer regarding gifted children. The school is wonderful for them. Our eldest was mathematically gifted (as identified by the school), but had reading issues. Public school would do nothing for him regarding his math skills till they felt his reading was dealt with, which meant they were just going to let his gift languish. But at HMS, they were able to set up a curriculum where he could do advance math while also taking remedial reading. Montessori style teaching is actually best for gifted children as it is a customizable curriculum. The whole school averages 2 grade levels above average on the state standardized testing. Ths is a verifiable fact. Definitely a top of the line school and worth every penny.

If your child is gifted it is not a good choice. The gifted children appear to be leaving the school more and more each year.

My child attended HMS for the preschool and K years ('Children's house'). They provide an outstanding and well-rounded learning environment. It is student-centered but well-managed. The teachers and principal are wonderful, very concerned about your child's education. There is a real esprit de corps among the parents as well. I would note that 'Montessori' is not a copyrighted name, and any school can describe themselves as such. However, the Hudson school has trained Montessori teachers who use the methods, providing one of the best Montessori schools in the state. I recommend it to you without hesitation.
