Countryside Montessori Academy
Countryside is one of the few schools that provides a Montessori education tuition-free. The administration and faculty are first-rate, and the student to faculty ratio is an amazing 10:1, with an assistant in every class! Countryside is one of the top scoring schools on the FCAT in the county each year (out of 50 schools). I am very happy with the education that my children are receiving at the school, and the teachers are very dedicated and capable. A Montessori-based education teaches children to work independently and manage their time effectively, very valuable skills for the future.
