    "We started our son in the YCC(18m-3yr) January of 2011 and transitioned him this past January to the 3y-6y class and I couldn't be happier. The teachers are excellent, the school is beautiful and most importantly my son is thriving both academically and in his personal growth. I plan to start my youngest this January and have only the most positive things to say about the school. Parent involvement is high, children are kind to one another and are allowed to learn in a supportive and non-threatening enviornment. The only downside is the $$, but you get what you pay for."

    "I was at SCMS from 2nd to 8th grade. In my six years there I learned more than I could ever wished for. The teachers were stunning, they were both compassionate and fun, yet knew how to maintain a perfect equilibrium of play time and work time. As I moved into the public school system in 9th grade, I found myself a step ahead of the vast majority of my class, taking the more advanced classes, understanding the material, and getting better grades. Overall, SCMS gave me the skills and knowledge I need to be successful not only in school, but in life."

    "All three daughters went through this school through junior high. They are grown now and all have their BA's and are working on their Master's degrees. They loved their time at the school. Later I became a teacher."

    "This school has gone down hill in our opinion. The pros are: it is a beautiful campus, aesthetically speaking. Cons are many. In response to one of the other reviews: Should kindergartners be writing in cursive and doing "advanced math" when the fundamentals are not taught? Many kids will imitate their peers without comprehension of what they are doing or why. Montessori philosophy needs educated guides. Gaps of learning can come from working outside an individual's zone of development and/or without proper guidance. Unfortunately, in my experience, there are lots of gaps going on here. Also, if it is important that your child's teacher is well rounded and well educated, ask whether or not teachers here have four-year college degrees, and if they are required to stay up-to-date with educational and psychological research from the last 30 years. Do your own research and ask lots of questions."

    "I am an alumni of Montessori. I went from the age of 5 till 11 years old. My wife and I, preview the school 2 years ago for our son Mason who is now 3.5 years. We were blown away at all the school had to offer. Mason has been going since Sept 2010. He is learning so much, even at this young age. The complement we get the most is people saying your son, is so bright and very polite. I would recommend this school."
