Unfortunately, the quality of this school has taken a downturn. The campus is not as well maintained as prior years, homework has dropped off significantly, and there is literally no communication between admin/teachers and parents about the program generally or about individual student performance. I worry about how my child will test this year. Office staff are generally unwelcoming and appear annoyed by parent inquiries. Afterschool classes are overpriced & very inconsistent with regard to quality. Instructors change frequently for some of the after school classes without notice to parents.
Both of my children went to San Marino Montessori for Pre-K and Kindergarten. My daughter, now in public school is at the TOP of her class. My son is about to enter public school and he too is showing signs of being at the TOP of his class. I will be forever grateful to SMM. If you want your kids to play in a sandbox all day this is not the school for you, but if you want their minds to be sharp, alert, responsive and capable of anything..... send them here. Thank you SMM. Sorry for the grief I gave you over minor things. What you did for my kids will serve them well their entire lives.
My job doesn t have a home-base and I get transferred to a new place every 2-3 years. I am never very sure about choosing a school, because I never know much about my new city. I met with the office for a tour and I knew this was the place for us. My daughter s attended this school for the last 6 months and is really happy here. She has made so many new friends. Compared to her earlier school, her test scores are much higher now. San Marino has a strong program and has so many extra activities for the students from in-house to their after school activities to field trips.
This is great. I was really worried about the negative reviews. I don t really believe everything online, but it can get to you after a while. It s nice to see that the school is having its parents post about their experiences. We ve enjoyed our time here too. We re leaving for Arizona in a few weeks, but we ve loved our time here.
