The families at MVM really have become our community, and the teachers and staff do a great job of keeping us informed on learning progress as well as special activities taking place. Tuition is reasonable, and the teacher-student ratio is AMAZING, and I know my kids are getting personalized attention. Would definitely recommend (and have!)

If you are looking for a fantastic school, with a very reasonable tuition to boot, look no further than Monte Vista Montessori.

It is very rare to find a public school that offers a Montessori program. It is a real challenge to…read moreimplement a program designed for private schools within the constraints of public school operations. But this campus does it well. My daughter has had the best experience at this school and made some great friends. They fact that they combine two grade levels in each casa means my daughter was able to work on higher level math problems and help her peers learn. The teachers interact with the kids so well. I'm sad to have to leave. But my older kids are all at a charter campus and I'm going to have to put them all together to make my daily schedule work better. I will sincerely miss Rodriguez.

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!

Love Mount Sacred Heart!! Originally, I was put off because we're not Catholic. But, after trying…read more3 other terribly disappointing daycare facilities, I reconsidered. And I am so glad I did. This is the best Montessori experience in San Antonio. It is a great balance of cost and programming. I cannot say enough good things about this school. Mount Sacred Heart also offers traditional Pre-K instruction and, obviously, feeds into the associated Catholic school, grades 1-8. I don't know much about that part since the Montessori is separate. The children don't wear uniforms and those in Pre-K do not attend mass.The children do have some religious education, but I asked a lot of questions and am very comfortable with it. It has led to interesting conversation at my house as we're not at all religious. Since it is attached to a school, there is the option to participate in CYO (Catholic Youth Organization, I think?) activities. Essentially, it's after school sports. The community is great and the teachers/staff are kind and friendly. Don't waste time and money like I did. Just go take a tour of the school.

My two children attended this school for three years, and my youngest attended this school up until…read moreFriday of last week. Until this current school year, we were satisfied with our experience. In fact, we actively recommended them to other families. I can no longer do so in good conscience. Distance learning during a pandemic is difficult for all involved, both staff and students. My daughter began this school year doing distance learning. She was not doing well at all; she struggled. We requested extra help for her in the form of a detailed daily schedule to follow, since both parents are also working full time. The school instead gave her daily one-on-one time with the founder, Ms. Betty. Even with this daily help, our daughter was not completing her work, so her father and I were spending evenings checking on her assignments in Google Classroom. During this checking, we came across a story that had been assigned to my daughter's class for a reading comprehension assignment. This appalling story is shown in the pictures attached to this review. After a moment of "does that really say what I think it says?!?", my husband and I decided to email the school's administration and the classroom teacher. We were already very frustrated because of our daughter's distance learning issues, so my email was direct and to the point. This is racist. It is unacceptable. Why is your school using a 50 year old reading curriculum? What other overtly racist stories are in this curriculum? Why isn't the classroom teacher reading what she is assigning to students? I expected to receive an apology and a solution. What we got instead was the most unprofessional email I have ever seen to come from a school administrator. The administrator agreed to research a new reading program to purchase based on the age of the materials, but then told us that we had accused them personally of being racist and that that was offensive. No apologies for the content of the story. No "oh my goodness, I didn't realize that was in there". No admission that the story was unacceptable. Just defensiveness and blame-shifting. We requested to be released from our Spring tuition contract, and that request was granted. We withdrew our daughter and enrolled her in public school. We had paid our tuition in full through December, so we are out several thousand dollars, but felt that this was the right course of action given the circumstances. For the record, we do not accuse any individual of personally being racist. However, racist materials were clearly present in their curriculum and were distributed to students. We believe other parents should be aware of this incident when they are making decisions about how to educate their children.

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.

Immersion Montessori Academy has been the best decision I've made for my kid this year!…read more Long story short, my kid was pretty much kicked out of the last daycare because he is in the spectrum and they didn't know how to work with him and it was easier to get rid of him and give his spot to someone else. Needless to say, if you are a parent with a child that requires a little bit of more assistance, you know how exhausting it is to find someone who actually CARES and wants to help your child. Anyhow! A parent from the last daycare suggested Immersion Montessori Academy and I decided to give them a chance. After touring the school and talking to the owners I knew in my heart this was the place for him. Since my child can have a hard time with changes, they were very understanding and decided to give us a trial week where he could come and experience the school, and we could make a decision after the week. By the second day of our test week, I could see a huge difference in my kid. He was happier and more excited to go to school (before he would scream every time we took him to daycare). It's been only a little bit over a month, but the difference I've seen in my child is huge. He is even talking more and you can tell he loves going to the school. The owners have also been so kind to help me with potty training and they even bought him the same potty seat he has at home so he would feel more comfortable. That action alone, I would have never expect from the past daycare. That just shows how much they care for the kids and they want to see them succeed. Last but not least, they are a full spanish-immersion school, which was very important to me since I want my kid to be able to speak and understand my native language. Also, the tuition covers meals and snacks, which I think is wonderful.
