Alcuin Montessori School Reviews

 
Though this school has had some rocky administrative changes in the past few years, that has not prevented the teachers from being incredibly committed, knowledgeable and excellent. A new facility would certainly help increase the appeal of the school, but the quality of education is fantastic and the partnership between parents and teachers to support children is of the highest caliber.

This school's leadership has incredibly low standards. Communication with parents and among staff is virtually non-existent. No one in the administrative staff takes responsibility for running the school so most of the work is left to the parents. The long-time teachers are great, which is the only positive element. There has been increasingly high staff turnover in the past five years, though. Tuition is overpriced and pressure to donate on top of tuition and required volunteer time is outrageous.

This school has a lot of promise, but it currently is in decline. On the upside, the institution recently expanded to include a middle school program. The teachers involved are wonderful. The primary teachers are wonderful, too. On the downside, the administrative office is in complete disarray. There is no organization or communication. Problems are not handled effectively. There also has been a lot of turnover in faculty at the elementary level, which has had a negative impact on classrooms because there is no consistency.

This school provides every student with an excellent elementary education so kids can go on and be succesful

Our son has attended for more than 3 years. The school's academic approach is pure Montessori, and the teaching staff to have excellent academic credentials and respect for the students as individuals. School goes up through middle school and tries to build a diverse student body. The building is currently an old church with limited facilities. Make great use of the parents and community resources. Works to highlight the many cultures and languages of the student families as well as Yoga, Art, Language, Cooking, etc. There is a full-time 'learning expert' that provides tutoring and individual attention, who is thought by some to be a little quick to suspect learning challenges like ADD, ADHD, etc. No fenced playground or parking, and a school neighbor has been waging a years-long effort to have the school moved. The tuition is high end of national average but they offer financial aid.
