My daughter started St. Joseph Montessori as a fourth grade student. It took her almost a month to begin coming out of her shell. The school, teachers, and students allowed her that time and she fell in love with them. She is now a thriving junior in high school and attributes her success to the education she received at St. Joseph. She looks forward to the Alumni gathering every year. Your child will be scene as a person not a number or test score. Your child will be encouraged to be their best version of themself. They will be given the opportunity to learn they way that meets them where they are.

My daughter started at St. Joe's in 2003 as a rambunctious, energetic 3 year old. This spiring, she will graduate as a composed, confident 14 year old. As a parent of an ADHD child I cannot say enough about the teachers at SJMS. They helped to identify her learning issues and helped to develop a plan after she was diagnosed. If she had gone to any other school, I am confident that she would not be as confident and accomplished a learner that she is today. This school (and the children who attend it) accepts all children no matter their look, size, religion, quirkiness, or other oddities. I love it.
