Community Montessori School

I have two children; both have attended Community Montessori for a few years now.Since it is a smaller school (at least as compared to public school) and because students generally have the same classmates year after year, the children get to know each other and get along very well together. There appears to be a true sense of community in the classroom, and both my kids are happy and comfortable here.Both of them really do enjoy going to this school, and I believe that is due primarily to this community atmosphere.Academically they are also doing well. Montessori education was not a system I was familiar with before my children enrolled, but it seems to be working well; I am very pleased with their progress and even more so with their interest in learning. Really, though, I believe the learning environment is far more important than the teaching method. In my opinion, kids can learn through Montessori, traditional or any other education system so long as they are in a supportive and comfortable environment. Community Montessori provides this well.

Both of my children attended Community Montessori School. My son has progressed through lower elementary into upper elementary, and my daughter has progressed through upper elementary, attended the middle school program offered at CMS (Montessori Middle School of Kentucky), and has transitioned smoothly into a large local high school. We have been thrilled with their progress, their ability to problem solve, work independently and with a group, and their test scores have been above average. The school has a real sense of family. There is a focus on the arts (there is a band program as well as opportunities to perform in plays, something that is lacking at other small private schools).One of the things that attracted us to the school initially was the ability for children to work at their own pace. My daughter was given busy work at her previous school whenever she would complete things before the other students so that all students would be at the same level. Now she can forge ahead and do the next lesson or get extra help if she is struggling with something. Children who learn at a slower pace don't hold the rest of the class back, and children who are excelling aren't held back by the rest of the class.I truly believe that Montessori education is the way we were meant to learn, and I wouldn't want my children to experience it anywhere other than Community Montessori.

This is a great school! We started our daughter at Community Montessori School when she was two and she will soon be a 4th grader moving into the Middle School arena. Her progress has been incredible not only in academics, but also the important soft skills like grace and courtesy, compassion, and helping others. The staff is highly trained and committed to providing the best Montessori education for our children.
