The teachers are amazing, he learned how to write from Ms. A better than any of his Jesuit buddies. He learned how to read, analyze and discuss rigorous primary sources. Loved Jones's passion for learning/humor. Loved Latin class and tested into Latin 2 at Jesuit. Learned to love music and read music through the band experience where he still plays with Jazz band on Tuesday nights. Participated in archery, soccer, CC, track, baseball, BB & VB. His VB experience was a springboard for his love and allowed him to make club VB as well as HS VB at Jesuit. His experience as a school ambassador gave him the confidence to communicate with a purpose and leadership. His inclusion in NJHS, class officer, yearbook, alter server, Veterans Day poetry competition, Wreaths Across America allowed him to have the confidence. You could not make a better sacrifice for your family. Find a way to do it!

I would advice to look into other schools however, this place is going downhill fast. The neighborhood in which the facility is located is nice, there is a recreational center right across the street that is sometimes used by the school for science projects and what not. The environment of the school is very clique-y and it is quite visibly noted during lunch where mostly white students (with some exceptions) eat at the student center while black and Hispanics tend to drift in the cafeteria, why this is I will never understand. Staff doesn't really mind the cliques and in some cases it seems they promote it. Hm... My biggest issue with this institution is the staff. Most of the staff here is very prissy, rude and unprofessional. If you need something from them I advice you to send them a notice 2 years prior because unless someone is dying or it benefits them, they really don't care. I would never send my child to an institution like this. Rude rude rude.

Everything you need to know about the school: the school has ongoing difficulties hiring qualified…read moreteachers, which is a critical concern. The math teacher and the IB coordinator resigned last March, and as of December, no permanent replacements have been appointed. The teacher currently covering these responsibilities reportedly has no prior IB experience. Assigning teachers without confirmed IB background to senior-level classes raises serious concerns about the quality and continuity of instruction. The chemistry teacher taught online for half a year because the school was unable to secure a visa. Another teacher was hired in the middle of the year; however, the school has not provided any information regarding her IB experience or certification. This lack of transparency makes it difficult for parents to assess whether IB standards are being met. The school's salary and benefits package appears to be uncompetitive within the local market, which may explain the hiring challenges. At the same time, the school continues to allocate funds to cosmetic updates such as repainting facilities and redesigning the website through third-party contractors. This raises reasonable questions about budget priorities. Overall, student academic outcomes do not appear to be the school's primary focus. Additionally, it is publicly known that the director's wife works in UX design; beyond this, the rationale for the recent urgency to redesign the school's website remains unclear.

Imagine a world where in highschool the honors class is the entire highschool, 9th graders present the College Board "AP French" exam and every single 9th grader gets a solid 5 (max AP grade). Imagine a place where AP courses and IB (International Baccalaureate) or FB (French Baccalaureate) diplomas are not mutually exclusive and, 1370 SAT and 30 ACT scores are the average. Sounds like a familiar place? If it does not then you should consider DIS for your kids.

We attended the open house in fall 2024 for our child who would have started WRM for third grade…read moreduring the 2025-2026 academic year. We were sufficiently impressed and the kid liked it, so we applied. The application fee was $500. There was supposed to be class visits for student applicants in February-March 2025 to see if they were a good fit and if the child liked the environment. We were never contacted for a visit. In fact, we were never contacted about anything at all. I am writing this review in May 2025 and we never received notification that she had been accepted or not. Clearly, she had not, and we have moved on so that is fine. But aren't we at least owed an answer for our $500? My wife wrote to inquire and was told that a post card acknowledging the application was sent in October 2024. Ok, fine. But what about after October 2024? My wife was told the file was incomplete. Ok, if that is the case, why were we not notified? We sent all required materials so we we were unaware that the file was incomplete. But that still raises the question why the admissions director at WRM did not follow up and notify us that certain materials were missing (apparently lost by their side)? I cannot speak to the pedagogy at WRM. It may be very good. But the admission process leaves much to be desired. The two stars are for an unwillingness to follow up or to notify us of their decision. I guess we were just to supposed to figure out that no news meant rejection. As I said, that is fine because we found an alternative school and accepted its offer. But WRM needs to get its admission process corrected. We don't think it is right to take money and then never respond with an answer.

I looked up the school online as we are moving soon, and wanted to find the perfect Montessori for…read moremy child to attend. Background info: my child currently attends a montessori in California and judging from the website I thought this school would be a pretty amazing fit. I saw there were only 3 spots left and I wasn't sure if it were for the current year or for the start of the next school year so I called and left a voicemail to learn more information. I received a call at 8am PST (a few minutes ago). Instead of introducing herself, and the school. She just stated "what do you want to know?" We'll generally ma'm all of the information that one would need to know when a parent is excited (was excited) for their child to possibly attend this school of course . I mentioned the word "tuition" and was cut off immediately with a boisterous "it's fifteen thousand dollars". Ok, I saw that part posted online, what I wanted clarity as to know things like the tuition scheduling breakdown for payments over the course of the year...but according to her I'm assuming its a lump sum payment. And since I was cut off I'm assuming the admission fees, supply fees and any other fees are just thrown in the abyss of fees without a breakdown. Her next question was followed by what grade and I mentioned LOWER ELEMENTARY. She then proceeded to ask me if my child were in school...well of course, yes my child is in school. I was then asked if I we're familiar with Montessori education... yes I am (one should draw the conclusion that if I mention that my child is in LOWER ELEMENTARY that would most likely mean that my child is already enrolled in a Montessori). I was then asked what grade my child were in. I mentioned technically it would be 1st grade (for a public education). I was then asked if my child started school...of course, yes. She then proceeded to say, "so he would be in 2nd grade next year?" this seemed like a trick question to check my knowledge of the Montessori method, or to see if I knew what number came after 1 . I felt unnecessarily grilled. The representative seemed bothered that she had to call me back and stated that I could go online "as theres a ton of information on there". I informed her that we were moving from CA, and I wanted to be on top of things since the schools website mentioned there were only three spots left and I didn't want to miss out. She mentioned nothing else really, just when did I expect to move and I mentioned for the fall... I was told to schedule an appointment online. Ok, It would make absolutely zero sense for me to schedule a visit to a school that doesn't have any openings for the intended school year while I still live in CA. What is so wrong with wanting a seamless transition? I would also like to mention that the school's website invites parents to call for more information (which I did). I didn't like her tone, it was snarky. How dare I call White Rock Montessori to learn more information (only to be redirected back to the site that could not answer my question which still went unanswered on the phone call). The schools online presence does not match with the attitude of school personnel, and the way the representative came off was as if this were an exclusive boarding school for uber wealthy investors in the UAE.
