Arbor Montessori Reviews

Rated
by a  Parent  Anonymous
If you have an active child, especially a boy, who is creative and prefers to "think outside the box," Montessori, in general, is not a good match. At Arbor this is even more the case. We pulled our son out after 8 months, when we noticed rapid social decline, and strange behaviors developing. All of which Arbor teachers and administrators attributed to us. However, once we removed him from the setting, he become himself again and has thrived in loving, creative, academic schools that welcome communication and parents in the classrooms. This is a pattern at Arbor, once you start asking former parents, it is easy to find out the truth about this school which appears perfect, but has real issues with administrators, teachers and a no-parents in the classroom approach to education. As my Italian friends put it "Oh Montessori - they are still doing that in America? In Italy it is passe!"

Your review will be read and posted by our team within a few days if it meets our guidelines.

Example reviews:

"This school has absolutely changed my son's life! He is a brilliant kid who has a learning disability, and the staff absolutely understands his situation and teaches the way he learns! They are so insightful, understanding and capable, I feel lucky that we are part of that community."

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
