I cannot say enough wonderful things about Apple Tree Montessori. I have a somewhat reserved grandson who we thought could benefit from beginning preschool. We were looking for a school that would offer not only great academics but also a nurturing environment. My son researched online and was happy to find a school with such caring teachers and staff members. From the first day, we were hooked. The new owner, Ms. Elizabeth runs a magnificent program and has updated many areas of the school and has added a beautiful STEM Lab for all the students. We highly recommend Apple Tree Montessori!

I feel that Apple Tree has an incredible education system. Don't judge a book by its cover the teachers and education is excellent. My children love going to school and have really good friends! The teachers are very qualified and treat each child with such respect. I can not believe the amount of information my children have learned and you can see it and hear it when they speak and their mannerisms. I highly recommend Apple Tree.

My son has been in Apple Tree from pre-school through middle school. I can only say that the high level of academics provided my son with a private school scholarship for high school. However, Apple Tree's staff though caring and loving attention taught my son more life experiences than just academics. It taught him how important education really is.

From pre-school to middle school, this school is outstanding. My child graduated last year from eighth grade and has been accepted in all honor classes in high school. This is because of dedicated teachers and staff who truly believe in education.
