My daughter attends this school and I am overjoyed to have her in this wonderful program. This school is like a warm family. The staff and principal leadership is loving and supportive. The teachers are dedicated and creative and make the learning process fun and very effective. My daughter is only four years old and is already reading! They also offer incredible enrichment programs such as music, dance and physical education. Our daughter is thriving in this environment. I encourage all parents to come see for yourself! This is a great school, and there are few out there like this one in the entire Bay Area!

Mills Montessoi School is an amazing educational institution. I have two daughter's both of which started Mills at two years old and have gone through the elementary program. My oldest daughter, now in middle school is an exceptional student, receiving straight A's in all of her classes. She is easily two years ahead of her peers and find's her school work "easy". My younger daughter is currently in the elementary program and is thriving. She has established many close relationships with her classmates and trule enjoys coming to school. The elementary program bases their curriculum on each individual child, moving at their own pace. I believe this fosters confidence and motivation within a child, giving them the tools they need to be successful throughout their life. This school rarely has any openings, as I've had many friends who have tried to transfer their children. If you find the opportunity to enroll your child, do so because it will be the best educational decision you could make for you child's future.

Wow! What an awesome school! My son just started in September, and I have never felt such care and concern from teachers. The Fallahs have truly created an exceptional learing enviorment for the children. Mills Montessori is a school like no other. This school is producing our future Doctors, Dentists, and Lawyers, hence the fact that both of their children are now doctors, and attended Mills as well. This must show for something, right? Whatever the Fallahs are doing, they are helping form intelligent, well rounded students. Exceptional school.

The Kindergarten class was exceptional. superb teacher with over 15 years experience. Grades 1 - 5 section is mediocre. Students are working very individually on their projects. Teamwork and collaboration are non-existent. This could be because Grades 1 - 5 are all placed in a single class and there's not enough students per grade level for any kind of healthy interactions amongst the students. This fosters a very poor social environment where my child had absolutely no friends, being the only one at that grade level.

If you truly mean a shy kid who wants to be outgoing, then I would help them interact with one child at a time. If you are talking about an introverted child, refer to http://www.carlkingdom.com/10-myths-about-introverts

Find something you are good at or enjoy doing a lot, just one thing. You'll gain confidence and meet other kids that enjoy that activity too. Mine was singing in choir. I wasn't good at anything else but that built my confidence for other things... More »
