The Preschool program LOOKS beautiful, but the teachers and administration were frustratingly unflexible. Our daughter was a bit on the rowdy side, and this was completely unacceptable to them. She has transitioned to another Montessori, where she (and we) have been treated as "normal," a welcomed change from our treatment here.
Excellent administrative staff, but teachers are not very friendly. Nice facility, but disappointing program. Teachers do not seem to care about the students.
My daughter has attended Nature's Way since she was 2 years old and will ,this year ,enter their middle school program. The quality of education she has received is excellent! Her teachers really know her and have consistantly encouraged her to excel. This school has a strong community base and empowers its young learners.
Very pleased with all aspects of the school. Our daughter has been attending since pre-primary. Good amount of extracurricular activities. Parents encouraged to get involved in field trips, events, etc.
I attended Natures Way Montessori School from 2nd grade to 8th grade. The program is really great, and students get to know eachother-and the teachers really well. The students and the teacchers are on a first name basis, which is interesting considering almost no other schools do this. I am now attending West High School, and Nature's Way has prepared me a good amount (the difference in curriculums is the hardest part of it-you learn different, but still important things.) Currently I have a 4.0 GPA and am taking all honors classes. Almost all of the Natures Way grads go to honors classes. I still visit Natures Way and talk to the teachers, whom are excellent and friendly. One bad thing is that there are no sports. The art program is good, but there is no music program. Most of us did stuff outside of school (acting, sports, clubs, etc.)
