They have a lot of hands on activities the kids get to do and expect lots of fun arts and crafts being sent home. My kid loves it, and always talks about how much fun she had with Terri and Katie and Lourdes each time she comes home from school. All the teachers and staff there are amazing and keep you up to informed. Katie is one of my favorites, and keep us "in the know" with out us even asking. Wendy and Jo do an amazing job behind the scenes. I love that I get weekly emails about everything that's going on at the school and her class. If you are looking for a great school to call home ACORN is the place! They do have a wait list and going on a tour is a must. I recommend going online and check dates for the open house or call.

Bottom line, this school is different, and you are impacted by that as soon as you pull into the driveway. From the playground to the entrance, children are encouraged to play with their hands and truly experience learning. I just had an opportunity to attend a day fully dedicated to father and child (this was one of the most special events)! Thanks to the school and it's leaders/teachers who are so passionate about our children.

I'm on a first-name basis with school staff who I consistently experience to be proactively communicative, easily accessible, genuinely receptive and to administer a well-run school organization. And, staff stand at the school door each morning to greet all children by name, which motivates me to get my child to school on time! My child is growing beautifully--intellectually, socially and spiritually-- thanks to the lived mission at St. Paul's Episcopal Montessori School, and our family has been embraced by a true community among fellow families. I wholeheartedly recommend St. Paul's!

There's a real need for a school here in San Antonio that does what Circle School says it does:…read morecreate an environment for learning that's different. What we found instead was a school that is run by the PTA; current parents from one clique or another not only hold board seats but also make most decisions regarding the educational experience of the children, all while refusing to follow any norms for how to treat each other. This year almost half of the families are leaving due to the way the adults interact here and also the bullying among kids. If you enjoy the dynamic of an unhinged Thanksgiving dinner and/or are prepared to pay for tutors like most families do in the upper grades, then you might be among the families who truly love it here.

My step-son always has a good time; maybe too much of a good time as he will talk for hours about his day, lol. The grounds are very well maintained. There are various fruit trees growing on the site which I feel is a good thing for children to see. That way they learn that food doesn't just come from a store. The teachers that keep the children busy during the day are very suited to the job and seem to enjoy what they do. That is a big plus when dealing with children. The price for the summer was fairly reasonable, however I wish it included more meals. Our kid likes to eat! Definitely recommended for you child.

The school provides a truly authentic Montessori education that fosters a genuine love of learning and allows each child to progress at their own pace. Now 7 years old, our daughter is currently learning long division because she showed interest and was ready for the challenge--something that is typically not introduced until 4th or 5th grade in many traditional classrooms. The individualized approach has allowed her to develop both confidence and a deep curiosity about learning. Perhaps the best testament to the school is that she is excited to go every single day. She frequently asks to arrive early so she can spend extra time with her friends and in the classroom environment. The teachers are exceptional, with decades of Montessori experience and a clear passion for nurturing each child's growth. Their expertise, patience, and dedication have created an environment where our daughter feels supported, challenged, and joyful. We are incredibly grateful for the foundation Monte Vista Montessori has provided and highly recommend it to families seeking an authentic Montessori education.

Between myself and my daughter, we had 4 pairs of leather boots that needed repairs; now that they are serviceable again we should get several more years use from them. One pair of boots I've had since my grown children were preschoolers, just needed the heel sole replaced. Though I've used YT to repair the faux stacked-heel-look wrapped around the boot heel, I wasn't prepared to attempt the sole; getting the correct thickness and having the tools to smooth the cut sides of the replacement sole seemed like more that I wanted to take on at present.
