Four Corners Montessori Academy

here and there are still quite a few things  i would like to change but overall i made alot of friends and i will remember forever.

The food is.... pretty bad, but other than that it's a pretty good school!

Absolute trash school. Don't go here. All of my years here were terrible and I could never express myself. Terrible, and I MEAN terrible, mental health support. Definitely don't recommend.

My son has improved his math skills because of the awesome math teacher that he has at Four corners. She is so sweet and kind with the kids and has a lot of patience. My son’s teachers are passionate about teaching their students and work hard to make sure the students are academically succeeding. During this pandemic, the teachers have worked hard to do their best in creating a stable schedule and provide as much help as they can to my son and his classmates online. I can see that the teachers not only care about the success of the students, they also care about their emotional and mental well being during the pandemic.

Thank you Four corners

Could not ask for a more supportive, enriching learning environment for my kids.  They are thriving.  The teachers are amazing!! My oldest has been in a traditional public school prior to this school and the difference is night and day.  Peaceful environment (I mean, they are kids, they get a little hyper from time to time, but the teachers have amazing ways of handling it and reeling the kids back in, teaching them respectful classroom behavior, etc)

Would recommend this school a million times over. So so so so so glad we are there, wish they had a highschool!!!!!

We are so glad we sent our son to this school. He needed an IEP and they were great about implementation and communicating with us about what  they would do and by when to assist him with his needs. The teachers in 8th grade were great and he got along with them but he&#39;s a nice kid anyway. The schools environment was very nurturing and he learned what he needed in 8th grade to continue his success into high school. He made a lot of friend and only attended the school for one year. Our only regret is we wish would have found this school years ago. He said he would have liked to have started in 1st grade like a lot of his friend.

When seeking the best place for my child I felt that a Montessori school would be the best environment for my child. Unfortunately, our experience at this school was nothing less than horrifying. Do not send your child here. Educate yourself prior to exposing your children to this school. Further review of public reviews of this school show that in the past the school has gained positive reviews by providing bonuses / gifts for positive reviews. I would ask you to consider this when evaluating averages for this school. If you have children without special needs, check out the many child care licensing reports the school has. Consider whether or not you really want these people supervising your children. Regarding multiple complaints the State of Michigan found that the latchkey program failed in the following areas : 1) Appropriate care and supervision were not provided 2) Failure to report incidents as required 3) Repeat violation regarding appropriate care and supervision (a 5 year old was left unsupervised in the parking lot while he was supposed to be in latchkey) 4) Repeat violation regarding failure to report incident as required 5) Third incident violation regarding appropriate care and supervision 6) Inappropriate use of discipline You can review these complaints and their resolutions by looking up the school at: <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.michigan.gov%2Flara%2F0%2C4601%2C7-154-63294_5529---%2C00.html&amp;s=f546e8ef852bbcd124f7b71ac18a919d3f12f307c73054c2b07274a312cc49d0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">michigan.gov/lara/0,4601…</a> Keep in mind that the latchkey program is run and supervised by the school administration. This is not a third party program.  The licensed individual is the school&#39;s principal. The vice principal and a teacher, who is also the vice principal&#39;s daughter, are interviewed in most, if not all, of the complaints. The behavior within the latchkey program mirrors our experience with the school itself. If you have children with special needs or in need of an IEP or 504 RUN, DON&#39;T WALK. This school has no clue what they are doing when it comes to special education. As of May 2017 a member of their Special Education administration does not have the requisite qualifications and approvals to meet state minimum requirements (at this point she had been a Special Education Supervisor for the entire school year while lacking the necessary qualifications, the previous supervisor was a stand in), the school was cited in response to  a state complaint with regard to this violation. The school contracts out for special education support such as social workers and psychologists, I found the behavior of the contractors during sensitive IEP meetings to be extremely unprofessional and rude. The contractor repeatedly interrupted me, raised her voice, and challenged therapy provided by our private professionals. The reports provided by these contractors, when reviewed by other professionals proved to be disturbingly lacking. As we transitioned to another (public) school the IEP itself was found to be extremely lacking. This school uses punishment as a means of dealing with disabilities rather than educating themselves on the appropriate steps to take and further, when provided with suggestions for accommodations that are standard in other schools when dealing with special needs these suggestions are ignored because they are &#34;not Montessori&#34;.  They actively discriminate against children with special needs by attempting to dissuade parents from enrolling.
