School Reviews

My daughter has been attending Dynamite Montessori for 5 years. This school has been a great place for my daughter to grow. She has been thriving since she started. She is now benefiting from their amazing elementary program. I noticed that some information on this site is incorrect. Their ratios are much lower and they also go through 6th grade.
5 4/9/2012
Dynamite Montessori is full of dedicated staff on a beautiful campus. We strive to maintain a close-knit community and have several events to that end. I would recommend Dynamite to anyone!
Endorse Dynamite Montessori. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
