    If you're looking for a high quality nurturing environment for your child North Shore Montessori is…read morethe place. I'm not known for long reviews here but I could write well not a book, but quite a brochure. EVERYONE at this school is amazing. I've had 4 children go through excellent high performing public schools in high income suburbs but North Shore exceeds them by a substantial margin. Do yourselves and your children the favor of visiting.

    It's almost a year out since my child was enrolled in this school but after having time to reflect…read moreI want to make sure parents are aware of our experience. My child was around 2.5 when starting his first "school" experience here. He was part time (3 hours in the morning) and attended maybe a total of 5 or 6 school days before they told me they needed to unenroll him. The reasoning was regarding his emotional regulation. I could definitely see that he was having a hard time with emotional regulation - even at home. They also advised me to get him evaluated. I have no issues with getting my son help that he needs, but it did shock me to have such a strong response after barely knowing him and without giving him a chance to acclimate to a new environment. I asked for specific things that happened to understand what he was doing exactly that would result in him being unenrolled and the examples they gave were like "running around" and "struggling with the routine". I thought they were going to tell me he physically hurt someone or himself or that he was destructive to the classroom. I took time to reflect on their comments and spoke to his doctor. He did not have concerns and said that at 2.5 we cannot expect toddlers to have a grasp on their emotional regulation yet. Since this experience, he has now been in different schools where he is thriving. It's not due to smaller class ratios - the school he is in now has the same ratio and he is so happy to go to every day. I'm not sure what was going on at North Shore that made him so distressed. I believe if they gave him the opportunity to adjust he could have done well there too. Unfortunately, I think they only accept specific types of children that can follow very rigid routines. I chose a Montessori school because I thought the philosophy was to follow a child's lead as opposed to rigidity. I definitely acknowledge that my child was having a harder time managing his emotions (especially at that age), but parents of toddlers who are still learning how to regulate emotions and need more fluidity to just be a kid should be aware of this before enrolling. I also want to note that I find it extremely odd that you can't find reviews on this school. Google reviews are turned off, and there are only 2 posts on Facebook.

    If I could give this "faith based" school zero stars I would! My niece was accepted into the school…read moreas she is a IEP student. DAYS before the school year starts her mother was informed that she is no longer "deemed eligible" for the school year because (and I quote), "Due to the students need's and level of services that were outlined in the IEP that we do not currently service or have resources to accommodate." All of her siblings were accepted along with her but now DAYS before the school year starts she is now "deemed ineligible". Almost all schools are now full and it's next to impossible to find her a school DAYS before the year starts. all of her necessary information was handed in back in June. They did not inform her mother about needing a special scholarship. They also told her that they do not provide peer support or help with writing. A woman working at the school said (and I quote), "Your daughter will never obtain the credits she would need by high school because she has these special needs."This is a faith based college prep school. Where is the faith in that statement? You would think that with the school claiming that they are "faith based" that they would show some kind of compassion. My poor niece has been kicked out on the street. I'm livid right now!
