We had a very unpleasant experience with this establishment. From a revolving door of teachers to…read morethe absence of communication from staff and administration, much was lacking at Central Montessori. The communication issues were evident from the start. We never received a school calendar or got added to the mailing list upon enrollment, so we were surprised with several school closures in our initial time there. Over the course of roughly six months, the teachers were unable to follow through on the meager commitment of one short note per week to let us know how our child was doing in class. We had no idea what he was doing during the day and eventually he returned home with language and behavior consistent with a complete lack of Montessori principles being used in the classroom. ("I'm a bad kid... I'm going to sit in the corner....etc.) After voicing concern about multiple changes in teacher with no notification, the director told me the new assistant teacher wasn't certified, didn't have the requisite experience, but was "super interested in teaching Montessori." At this point, I started enquiring about our location of waitlists elsewhere. It is clear that Central knows they have parents trapped due to the lack of options for childcare in the area, because they let the disorganization and unprofessionalism continue. We eventually could tell that our child was not receiving the care or education we were promised, so we found a new school where he is absolutely thriving. I sincerely hope that a change in leadership can turn the tide at Central for the sake of the other children and families still enrolled.

I am very disappointed in our experience at this school. To sum it all up, the school could benefit…read morefrom a new head of school and new principal. They have high turnover in staff, especially teachers. The head of school and school principal are unprofessional and does not represent what this school says it represents. The curriculum is whitewashed and they do not like parent feedback, nor are they welcoming to new families. The administration gives me high school cliche vibes. I knew I should've left the moment the school principal told me that the parents that drove Mercedes, were the ones that paid little to no tuition. For the amount of money that you pay, there aren't any resources. It doesn't appear that money is being funneled back into the school. You literally have to pay for everything, including the curriculum. The unorganization is the worst I've ever seen. I didn't even know who my child's teacher was until the night before the first day of school. I had to research on Facebook the night before to see what she looked like. The head of school, I believe is the downfall to this school. I was in disbelief, when him and the principal were on social media making fun of a situation and calling me out of my name because I disagreed how they handled an assault! My previous review has been removed or hidden. In that review, I included screenshots of my claims. My advice, don't ignore the red flags- they are there in the beginning. Look at their website, that tells it all.

Sabot has nurtured their curiosity and their identity as readers, writers and researchers. Each year they have unfailingly been supported in developing their own theories and furthering their academic inquiry. This has resulted in such ownership over their learning, and confidence in their place in the classroom community. The social constructionist approach in the classroom has fostered an environment where their social-emotional growth has been stretched and supported. Not only are my children learning to be students, they are learning to be good citizens. While no school is perfect, the dedication of the faculty and staff to the students and to this approach to learning has been evident in every interaction.

The curriculum is excellent and very age appropriate. My son loves to go to school every morning, we cannot get there fast enough. I can see it on the other children's faces as well.

With every encounter, we have been beyond impressed with the work they all do. Sarah, the director, is involved with each and every student that walks through the door. She helps and cares about each family that attends their school. The teachers are exceptional. Specifically, Miss Terry and Miss Michele take the time to get to know each student as an individual. They take the time to acknowledge strengths and strengthen opportunities. Our daughter knows all the teachers in the building because they all care about all of the students. It is more than a student/teacher relationship... it is a family. We could not have asked for a better school to introduce our little ones to education. Thank you Mt. Pisgah for all you have done and continue to do.

I cannot say enough about the impact that this school has had on my two children. They have not only kept them safe and helped them learn and grow, but they have also nurtured them with love, authenticity and kindness. My son began after 2 years and my daughter at 16 months. My questions and concerns are always received and responded to quickly and professionally. They have been especially sensitive to transitions in classroom/changes with teachers and were instrumental in potty training (miracle workers). I wish they had a private kindergarten program so we could extend our time there!!

hi. recent alum here. my best friend and i attended this school. the teachers and education were…read morepretty good, but the bullying and exclusion of my best friend and i was not helped at all. i remember students were called homophobic slurs here and i had many racial microaggresions directed at me, but every time i tried to bring this up to the head of school there, i was promptly dismissed and it felt like nothing changed at all. i take note of this because a student there was so easily expelled when a white student complained about her sending a death threat, but when my queer friend and i complained to the school multiple times about the bullying we experienced, there was little to no punishment to the bullies. i also should mention there was no school counselor for a majority of the time i was there. skip forward to my eighth grade year, my best friend committed suicide. while i do admit there were probably other factors contributing to this awful event, bullying was one of the main issues as they had told me before their tragic passing. the bullying was mainly due to the fact that they were queer. orchard house never really brought their attention to this obvious discrimination in their school. after their passing, i had to leave for a week or two for my mental health, and the head of school there told my class the details of what happened with me without my or my family's permission. this school is okay if your child is white and cishet, but otherwise, please save your money.
