Windsor Street Montessori School

Both our children were fortunate to be able to attend Windsor Street Montessori School through their sixth-grade years. As WSMS students they were grateful for time as both learners and mentors, working in collaboration and on their own, in mixed-age classrooms. I am so grateful that their experience of WSMS's materials and teachers developed in both kids a love (and understanding) of learning. And they were both more than able to transition smoothly when the time came to go from WSMS to CPS middle school.

Windsor Street Montessori School offers more than just an excellent education, it is like an extended family. True to the Montessori Method, the teachers and staff are highly skilled, attentive, and observant of each student’s unique personality, abilities, and skills. They take time to develop lessons, activities, and “works” that both engage and challenge each student. Centrally located, the school is situated in a peaceful, natural environment with views of horse pastures, access to parks, and green spaces.
Each morning, when my child is EAGER to go to school, and asking to stay late, I know I am making the right decision for her education.

Our family has been a part of the WSMS community for seven years. Both of my boys have thrived at WSMS and both have very different learning styles from each other. We are looking forward to our daughter starting next year, who has an even different personality/style then her brothers. I know she will thrive at Windsor Street as well. The highly trained WSMS teachers and the Montessori curriculum are able to provide an individual educational experience for each student. I highly recommend taking a look at the school if you are considering a private education for your child.

My son has studied at WSMS for 5 years and it has been a great experience. Montessori education allows children to be more independent and to learn at their own pace. Besides, the school offers a community where bilingualism and diversity are valued and encouraged. My son loves school and has a curiosity for learning that few kids maintain after formal education. I highly recommend WSMS!

I felt compelled to leave a review here after reading some of the other negative comments posted on this page.  As a father of 4 (three of whom attend WSMS) I constantly receive compliments on the character and disposition of my children.  I understand that parenting and home environment have a lot to do with this, but I also attribute much of that to the nurturing and guidance that is provided through my children's education at WSMS.
I have been a Montessori parent now for 8 years and over half of that time has been at WSMS.  My wife and I have grown to love the Montessori philosophy, the independence and confidence it has instilled in our children, as well as the sense of family that the school provides to them.  I honestly feel that most of the time they forget that they are going to school and just look forward each day to being in a fun and stimulating environment with their friends.  The WSMS office and teaching staff are professional and easy to work with, the facilities are tremendous, the location cannot be beat!  If you are looking for a private education for your toddler or grade school child I would not make that decision until you have visited WSMS for yourself!
