Alief Montessori Community School

This is a great school in terms of teaching quality!!! Although they don t have fancy facility (maybe the neighborhood is not very nice), it s REAL Montessori education methodology!! My daughter attended this school when she was 3. At that time she doesn t know any English. Now she is 5 (this year she will go to K): she can read a lot, she can write whole sentence, she writes in cursive, she knows additional and subtraction and the concept of division and multiplication, she knows the countries in South America .most importantly, she knows the manners and very disciplined. She learns much more than I expect I love this school. However, I wish they have more funding to build a nice playground (the buildings are very new, just don t know if they don t have enough funding to finish the playground). Also, wish they can have smaller size of class. I highly recommend this school if you like Montessori style and you don t want to pay expensive tuition (because it s chartered the tuition is very reasonable here).

Both of my children have been in this school for over four years now and I'm very pleased with the education and the dedication that the school provides. The efforts that the teachers and staff place towards the students is tremendous. My son, who is currently a third grader, is reading at fourth grade level and as a parent, I'm very happy with the results every year. My daughter sometimes struggles, but the teachers efforts does not go unnoticed when she sends her with work to improve her abilities and I'm very happy how my daughter finds it exciting to learn. My daughter has this will power to keep learning and doesn't want to quit until she gets it right. I can't say anything negative about this school, but other than to keep doing a great job!

I have three girls that go to AMCS, one started when she was 3. I have had the honor of knowing several teachers and they've all been excellent. The principal is also extraordinary in her concern for not only academics but also the physical well being of all the students. This school is also culturally diverse which I believe adds to a well rounded education for the kids and they get to see and interact with kids from different backgrounds. Parent involvement is strongly encouraged and valued at this school as well, though I have not been able to be as involved as I would ve liked. The admin and support staffs are also excellent. I cannot say how thankful I am that we found this school for our children. I would recommend this school to any parent who values an excellent start for their kids education.

My kids (boy and girl) attended this school 2 years ago. We moved to Cinco Ranch in Katy but we still miss this school. My kids really loved it!! The teachers are awesome and very kind, they care about children's self esteem not only math and reading. I wish more resources ($$)were invested in projects and the facilities . Ms. Delia and Ms. Anna, thank you for all your effort and love!! You will be in our hearts forever!!

I have a daughters and both are in the school. The teachers are exellent, nice, and full of ideas. Both could began to read books around 4.5 years old, and they enjoy there that much, that once when moved to Katy ISD, and the older one didn't like it and we had to move her back to this school. Recommend for all the parents who want their kids to be great on reading and math.

My two children attend the school and I know that the skills that they learn from this school will prepare them for higher education.

This school is great. My daughter attended PreK and Kindergarten and the way they teach (Montessori) they learn much more then they would in a public or even some private schools. The teachers are nice (We had Ms. Anna) and very easy to communicate with. They definitely are willing to work with you on your child's education. She goes into first grad this year and I'm sure it will be another wonderful year.

I love Alief Montessori Community School and I recommend the school to fellow parents because since my son began he has excelled in reading and mathematics and he is only in the 1st grade. I love the whole montessori concept of learning at your own pace and last year Ms. Anjali was great. I wish the school continued through high school but a montessori education is the only education I would consider for my children.

My daughter has attended Alief Montessori from grades 1-3. She has excelled so much in all aspects. Her teacher, Mrs. Martinez was awesome and understood how to work with individual personalities. The afterschool care was great as well.

My daughter is new to Alief Montessori Community School. Previously, she attended a rather costly private Montessori school, and the quality of her education now is parallel if not supercedes what we were receiving. The teachers and staff are professional, organized and they provide a well structured environment for serious (but fun) learning. Thus far, I am very pleased with my daughter's progress in reading and her enthusiasm for learning continues to be nutured once she leaves home and arrives to school. The multicultural mix of students, parents and staff fosters respect and appreciation for other cultures. Debra Brown

I am very happy with my son's progress. His teacher is caring and has high expectation from him which I think is the reason for his fast progress. Teaching method does not based on age, but rather ability. My son can learn at his own pace using the tool of his choice to learn certain concepts like mathematics, phonics, geography, etc. He demonstrates good manner at home. Parent involvement is incredible here. At meeting, more than half of all the parents show up... a big plus for all. Since this is a charter school, you don't have to live within certain area to go here. I would recommend this school to anyone.
