We are given updates each and everyday on how things are going and I love the app they use to communicate.

We enrolled during COVID, and I've seen every staff member going above and beyond to make drop off, pick up, and any correspondence easy and stress free. I'm so grateful for Amber, and the staff at Columbia George Montessori. Thank you guys for being an exemplary school experience, and a place where my daughter can learn and grow with all the love and support she needs!

The so called Manager should NOT ever be a manager of anything dealing with people, she is about…read morethe rudest person we ever had to deal with, we were experiencing a lot of problems with the Berninia B790 machine we bought and my wife was accused of forcing the material through the machine and being excessivly rough on it, Now my wife is 77 years old and has over 50 years experience with sewing and quilting but she was treated like a stupid person who never saw a sewing machine in her life by a very rude young person calling herself the manager . She even went so far as to personally scold her while she doing a class which was offered free with machine purchase, then had the gall to have us trade it in on exactly the same model Berninia for only $8000.00 more than we paid for the one we had . REALLY??? Unbelievable!! We will never go in that shop in Gresham ever again, the folks in Beaverton fixed the problems with no hassle.

We have now been at this school for three years and we could not be happier. We left our…read moreneighborhood school mid-year because our son was being bullied and despite numerous conversations with his teacher, the counselor, and the principal little to nothing was done. When I picked our son up from his shadow day at FMES, he said it was the best day of his life. Within a week he was more joyful than he'd ever been at our neighborhood school. Three years later, he has some of the sweetest friends and is the happiest I've ever seen him. This past weekend (end of spring break) he said he was missing school because he is really enjoying math. Our younger son has ADHD and is also thriving. The options and flexibility really work well for him. FMES feels different from the moment you walk through the door. It's a very warm and welcoming community. Having taught special education in public schools for twelves years it was tough for us to make the decision to switch but we could not be happier. The love and care our children receive at FMES protects their innocence and joy, giving them a wonderful childhood.

I love FMES for so many reasons…read more When our needs were not being met by the public school system, the amazing teachers at FMES helped identify what our kids needed almost instantly. I'm not a fan of all Montessori pedagogy, but they have such a wonderful blend of taking the best parts, and being flexible where it's not working. The leadership was incredibly thoughtful, patient, and communicative in dealing with the pandemic. I felt respected, heard, and most importantly, that our kid's safety AND education were being put at the forefront. Lastly, the environment is open to all sorts of people. The religious components are opt-in. We were literally in tears of joy after the tour, feeling that we had found a match for our family. Four years later, we couldn't be happier, and now have FOUR kids enrolled. That shows how happy we are!

It gets us into 2 classes a week as well as unlimited open gym for I believe $39. The classes and memberships are reasonably priced with contract and non-contract options. I love this since kids can go from loving something to hating it overnight. They offer a free introductory class so you can test the waters. The facility is simple and well put together. I feel like the equipment they use is safe and of good quality. There are mats in case your a clutz like me and fall down occasionally. The staff has been friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. They expect the kids to listen and follow directions which I really like. If you don't, it's pushup time! They teach more than just Parkour, they teach personal responsibility and discipline. All around a great place!
