    "I have a daughter in her second year of preschool and have been very impressed with the school as a whole. There is a strong emphasis on the natural world and ensuring that the kids really understand what they are learning. My daughter attends a daycare/preschool in the afternoons, and consequently, I have had the opportunity to see how she reacts to different environments. At WRMS, she is more confident, independent, outgoing and calm. I also appreciate the lessened emphasis on competition, which is already apparant in the daycare environment."

    "My daughter has been enrolled at WRM since age 3+. She has flourished at the school, done extremely well on standardized testing that is required. If parents need a program that place importance on listen and repeat learning styles, this may not be the best place for them. If however, you are looking for an environment that is pleasant, and allows the foundation of thinking to be developed in a sound way, I can highly recommend it. While I did feel a bit overwhelmed by fund raising efforts the first few years we were there, you realize it is all going to the school. The school also has an off site facilities that allows the students experiences in nature. Located a few hours drive south, the students can spend from a day to a week learning in an outdoor environment."

    "The academics are lacking. There is a great amount of emphasis on the fluff that should accompany academics (kindness, respect). It would be great if the fluff accompanied a solid academic foundation. The school community repeatedly 'sells' itself to itself, celebrating itself in many ways. The parents are very nice overall, as are the teachers and children, but be prepared for egotism/one-upmanship in areas such as who is more organic or eco-friendly. Fundraising is a major priority."

    "Our eldest child attended WRMS from age 3 to age 9, and those preschool years were wonderful for her. The program changed over time, however, with an enrollment of 22 kids and 2 teachers in preschool, to 30 kids and 2 teachers. The elementary program is lightweight academically, zero challenge for a child who is ready to learn; there is no writing in lower elementary, no memorization of math facts, and the children flounder on standardized tests. The school will tell you it is b/c of Montessori's method of learning. This school would be wonderful if it would simply strengthen its core academics. We ultimately had to leave the school b/c the curriculum was so poor that we feared our children would face real gaps in their learning if we stayed. The people and environment were wonderful and nurturing. The tuition was high and teachers were underpaid."

    "This school is safe and nurturing, with nice facilities. The staff/teachers are empathic. Montessori is about a child learning at his/her own pace. What happens at WRMS is that the child who learns at a slower rate is celebrated, while the child who is ready for accelerated learning is neglected. If a parent raises the issue, some of the elementary teachers are defensive and are not flexible enough to be receptive to modifying their approach, based on the child's level of learning. Overall, the people are great there, but the academics are just lacking. The elementary curriculum centers around peacefulness and respect, not writing, literature, mathematics. It felt like a great, open-minded, non-denominational Sunday school class, rather than an academic institution."
