Casa Montessori, Inc

I would not recommend this school based on our family’s experience, and my biggest concern was the way the school was managed by the principal. Communication was inconsistent, follow-through was poor, and important concerns were not handled with the level of professionalism I expected from school leadership. We had situations where meetings were scheduled and not followed through on, information was unclear, and decisions that should have been communicated much earlier were addressed at the last minute. The principal’s handling of our situation left us with very little confidence in the administration. Parents should not have to repeatedly follow up just to get clear answers about important matters involving their child’s education. What bothered me most was the lack of accountability and consistency. When families are trusting a school with their children, the principal should be someone who communicates clearly, follows through, and makes parents feel confident that concerns are being taken seriously. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. I would encourage parents to pay very close attention to how the administration communicates and handles concerns before making a long-term commitment to this school. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this school.

This school has fallen on hard times recently, with a very high drop-out rate, and difficulty recruiting new students. Insist on written proof of any positive claim made about this school.
