Country Day Montessori School

I have four children and am a pediatrician. My kids have always attended Montessori, to include private grade school in Colorado. After we moved to Texas, I wanted to continue in this style of education. We are also enrolled at MSSA as well for a point of reference. My kids enroll for the summer and really enjoyed themselves. Yes, they came home with sand in their hair, paint on their clothes, and dirt in their fingernails. Yes, they played outside at all times of day and required daily sunscreen (I'll take that any day to bundling up toddlers for snowy weather for 10 minutes of playtime). My kids left me each day without hesitation, eager to start their school day. I was greeted warmly by each teacher and felt they knew my kids well. My kids came home with a wide array of topics to discuss, which varied weekly through the entire summer. The staff was always professional and quick to communicate any concerns with me. The facility is a little older, but don't let that fool you. I think this is a great place for a true Montessori style program with a great emphasis on early education.

It is a great school! Our daughter went there for her first grade until we moved to Austin. She absolutely loved going to this school. She said that teachers and kids there were very kind. She enjoyed the activities that they did in the school and she learned a lot! I am very happy that our daughter went to the Country Day Montessori School. It is an outstanding school with great environment. Pros: amazing location, small school size, before and after school program available,  excellent staff. Cons: no cons.

We’ve been incredibly blessed in finding this school. I’m the mother of a 4 year old girl and a 9 year boy and it’s amazing what a difference it makes when they’re actually excited to go to school every morning. They’ve loved all their teachers, and always come home bursting to tell me what they learned in school. Before we started at CDM it was like pulling teeth to get my son to read. I mentioned this when I was registering and his teacher spent extra time sitting with him one-on-one. Fast forward to today and he now reads for pleasure. For pleasure! I couldn’t be more grateful to them.
My daughter is also thriving!

The best investment I made in my childrens’ education.
My two sons attended SACDMS since the age of 3.  Now successful adults in their late twenties, I attribute their achievements to their deep-rooted Montessori mind: they are so focused and inquisitive, and great problem solvers.  The small class size and the personal attention they received from teachers gave them so much confidence.  The fabulous outdoors (complete with barnyard) gave these city kids a life-long respect for nature.  My sons still refer to Country Day School as their childhood Happy Place. This school is a gem!

Both my daughters have THRIVED at Country Day Montessori School.  The staff and the teachers know my children individually and cater to their specific needs and learning abilities.
My eldest daughter (almost 14) was there for two years before she entered public middle school and has become quite the leader in her school activities and been able to handle multiple responsibilities at once.  Because of San Antonio Country Day Montessori School, my eldest daughter has a global understanding of situations and has been exposed to a variety of cultures and differences.  The Montessori Model UN program at the school really prepared her for her teenage years.
My youngest daughter (now 8) has always been a strong willed child.  However, in this Montessori program, she is cooperative, helpful and far surpasses my educational expectations.  Her imagination is vivid and she is able to come up with witty comments, jokes and stories that most adults cannot comprehend.
I have personally known my children's teachers, the staff and the director for over five years.  They are kind, empathetic, nurturing, charming and lovely people.  It's refreshing to find a school where they focus on a developmental, educational and learning experience rather than passing exams.
If you are looking for a school that will fit your child's needs and help them blossom to their full potential, I urge you to visit this school and meet with the teachers and staff.
