We love the school! After looking at many different private schools in the area, we knew right away from class observation that MSW was the place we want to send out kids to. We were particularly impressed with the calm and respectful atmosphere, beautiful campus, responsive and caring teachers. If you are new to the Montessori method, you should really visit the school... you will be impressed.
