My girls are honestly excited to go to school each day. They work to optimize my children's learning and it shows in all they do. My 4th grader wrote an essay in cursive and makes presentations! Her math skills have grown significantly as well. My 1st grader loves the hands on approach to science and is doing very well. They offer many opportunities for extracurricular activities and I can't express how much I love this school. I pray for more enrollment it's worth it!!!

The business department is terrible. They rant and rave about it, but you'll soon realize 90% of the classes you take are nonsensical intro classes where you learn nothing. Do not expect to go to Iona for business and learn anything useful for a career. Now, most expensive private Colleges have premium dormitories. They have 1 building built during this century that they like to show off. The vast majority of their housing is decades old, falling apart, dirty, dingy, and dusty. It's horrendously overpriced. Far more expensive than an apartment and you lose all your rights living on campus subjected to unlawful raids/inspections. The food on campus sucks. They force you to buy a campus meal plan and for what you pay it should be far better. There's a reason they force you to buy the meal plan and it's not "to foster an on-campus community." It's a money grab plain and simple. The campus itself is tiny with very little to offer. The surrounding neighborhood is full of crime with a history of murders at the local high school right next to campus. All in all--tuition should be $10,000/year and dorms $5,000. You're splitting a tiny room 5-10 ways no apartment costs that much...it's a scam! You are paying for a bloated administration that takes exorbitant salaries and accomplishes very little. You're not paying for a high-quality private education. All you get is a piece of paper and 4 years living in a tin can. Don't waste your time or your money.

Our family's experience with Montclair Cooperative School was devastating. After touring and being…read moreassured that our son -- a twice-exceptional, academically gifted child on the Autism spectrum -- could be supported, we submitted his records. Almost immediately, the admissions office reversed course and told us they would not move forward with his application because of his disability, saying he would be "better served" in public school. His academic strengths and test scores were ignored. This is not just disappointing, it is discriminatory. The school has accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer-funded grants and forgivable loans, which means it is legally bound under the ADA, Section 504, IDEA, and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination to provide equal access. Instead, it shut the door on our son because of his diagnosis. We pursued every available appeal, including with the State of New Jersey. Even though the state acknowledged the facts, they declined to pursue the case further -- not because discrimination wasn't present, but because they lacked confidence in prevailing in court. Families should know that if your child has a disability, this school may exclude them rather than work with you. For a school that markets itself as progressive and community-oriented, our experience was the opposite. Parents of neurodiverse children: proceed with extreme caution.

Master Klass has been a great place for children to learn and improve. While some reviews mention…read morethat the environment is toxic, it really is not. The teachers really care about their students and are always willing to help when someone is struggling. They, along with the TA´s, take the time to answer questions and explain topics students found difficult until students can understand them. One thing I especially appreciated was that during the summer program, Master Klass offered Zoom sessions where students could get extra help with their homework from a TA. It showed that they were willing to support students even outside of regular class time.I also like that Master Klass challenges students without making them feel overwhelmed. If a class is moving too fast for someone, the teachers are willing to adjust their schedule so they can learn at a pace that's more comfortable. Overall, I would definitely recommend Master Klass to others. The teachers are supportive, the classes are challenging in a positive way, and it's a place where students can learn, grow, and do their best.

Beware of their terms and conditions. They are very unreasonable in my view. Here is our story:…read more We registered our newborn baby for this school more than five months before its start date (September 1st). Based on their terms and conditions, if you don't withdraw your application before July 1st, you are responsible for paying THE WHOLE year's tuition ($27000+ in our case). Even if, for whatever reason, you realize you can't send your baby to this school. Even if you relocate, or your baby is not happy there, or you realize you don't like their approach, or even (and this is the most absurd case) if your baby is inconsolable and they call you to come and pick him/her up every day, you are still responsible for paying the tuition in full. Moreover, they don't let parents observe how their baby adjusts initially. They don't guarantee to answer your phone call; indeed, we called four times and left messages, and they didn't answer for days. Some schools let you watch through CCTV, come and check in regularly the first few days, or have an app to see what's going on. This school has none of that. We are talking about sending a baby under one year old to an entirely new place for the first time without his/her parents. As parents, we have to stay in the dark about how he/she behaves. Considering these factors, we withdrew on April 26th, over four months before the term began. Despite having paid $3,800+, NONE of it was refunded. To be fair, they insist that their school is not for everyone. Take that seriously! We believe their registration's terms and conditions are very unreasonable, to say the least.

I attended the Mommy and Me classes through The Learning Suite provided at the school and knew quickly that BLMS would be the perfect option for my son. Why? -Myani Lawson is the Director. Never have I met a more passionate, dedicated, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic educator. Her background in reading and social education were key to us making the decision to enroll. -It utilizes "The Virtues Project," which places emphasis on character development and morality that is absent in most educational programs. -My son is gaining skills that were challenging for me to address prior, such as fine motor strength and adaptive skills. He has only been attending 5 months and is already showing proper grip for holding writing utensils and is eager to dress himself. Areas that were nonexistent prior. -The Montessori Method is fully implemented with gorgeous materials, a clean and peaceful environment, and with everything accessible. -It's affordable. My son only attends twice a week for half of the day, which is infrequently an option at Montessori schools. This allows me to remain the primary educator of my child, replaces the multiple classes we were paying for previously, gives me a short break to grocery shop or complete errands, and allows my child to experience a school atmosphere with a wide-range of peers. Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, the school is socio-economically and culturally diverse with its student and teacher population. Children are not only being taught about multiculturalism, they are experiencing it with one another. This lays a foundation of positive interactions, understanding, and appreciation for the beauty of humanity for children during their most tender years.
