Montessori School of Manhattan

Our son attended MSM from 2012 to 2015. We knew while he was attending school there that his experience was wonderful and he was learning more and in a different way then many of his peers. The exposure to art, languages, yoga and many other extra activities made this an amazing experience. Why would we wait so long to write a review of MSM you may think? The reason is that we still continue to talk about the excellent foundation he gained there and we still see the impact that this school had in his learning and his everyday demeanor. Our son is calm, creative, able to amuse himself and does not have to be constantly engaged. He loves to learn, he loves to go to school and he loves to be challenged. These are all attributes that he learned in his first school, MSM. Obviously, we were thrilled with the education and foundation for our son. The staff were fabulous to deal with. We knew our son was safe and incredibly happy. Any of our questions or concerns were dealt with promptly by the staff. We would highly recommend this school to families who want a top notch foundation for their children.

This is our third year at the Montessori School of Manhattan and I cannot express how wonderful the teachers truly are. There are several factors that come in to play with what we as a family consider to be a good education.  We believe that MSM offers our children a well balanced approach to academics by exposing them to a diverse learning environment that is surrounded by teachers who care deeply about their students.  We strongly believe that both our children have been challenged appropriately at an early age, which has set the foundation to maximize their social and intellectual abilities.  Most importantly, MSM allows students to be active participants in their own learning and the classroom provides endless possibilities for them to engage in the learning process.  The way both math and reading is presented, specifically, has been outstanding!

Our experience with MSM has been absolutely wonderful. It was my daughter's first experience with school when she started the toddler program at MSM. The way that she walked into her classroom with her teachers without even looking back to say goodbye to us is testament to how much she enjoyed her time in school. She is very excited to start another year at MSM in the "big girl" classroom. She has learned so much already, and has become such an independent little girl. Thank you MSM!

My son spent three wonderful years at MSM. I recommend this school to anyone looking for a supportive and nurturing environment where an age-appropriate academic curriculum is used to instill a genuine curiosity and love of learning in children.

Kids can learn to read, write and count anywhere (and yes, my son and his peers all left as readers!), but MSM is a truly special place. It gave our son the foundation on which his academic life will be built, but just as significantly it has taught him to navigate the world in a respectful and kind way.

My son attended Montessori School of Manhattan from the time he was 20 months old through 6 years of age, after which he entered a gifted and talented program in 1st grade at our local NYC elementary school. MSM did so much for him. The teachers, the curriculum, the atmosphere -- all contributed to him thriving socially, academically and emotionally. The Montessori program offered the perfect structure for my son to learn and grow as an individual and the MSM staff were all extremely knowledgeable regarding Montessori teaching and philosophy. Overall I cannot stress enough the impact MSM has made on my son's life. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for high quality early childhood education.
