Montessori Of Brea, PK-6 (Private)

I walked into the school last week and noticed the children were in groups of two s and three s intrigued by all sorts of learning toys, guided by their wonderful teachers. There was that low hum of conversation that you associate with a very good classroom. The Administrator was also very helpful and caring. It showed by the interactions she had with her staff and other parents. I recommend this school and believe that the nurturing environment is beneficial for all children.

Great School with a good staff. They have a great summer program and keep increasing their extra-curricular offerings.

Montessori of Brea is a wonderful school. I sent two of my children here over the past 5 years after hearing great things about the new administrator. The teachers are diverse, the classrooms have a wonderful ratio, and the area is great. I did have some reservations about the accents transferring over, but the students are better exposed to different cultures by learning from a diverse group of teachers who are very well experienced. A+ School! :) I do agree that they could use some more extra curricular activities, but they are in line if not better than other schols, especially for summer programs.

This is an excellent school that places a strong emphasis on academics. (My son began attending this school three years ago at the age of three. He has read fluently since the age of four and is doing third grade work. This is largely due to the structure and high expectations of the school.) The school also reinforces the importance of respectful and responsible behavior. The small size of the elementary classroom allows for special attention to each child. Likewise, the individual class assignments and homework allows for each child to work according to his/her ability. The school's greatest disadvantage is that there are no extracurricular activities provided. These needs must be met elsewhere.

My 3-year old has been going to this school since she was 2. I am impressed with the school's academic offering and amazed at what my child has learned in a year. Her teachers show genuine concern and pride for her development and learning. I find the academic program more advanced than the other Montessori and private schools I've checked out.

This school is really great. I am a graduate from it, and I know. I really learned a lot.

I have concerns about the staff at this school. Although my child has gained knowledge and the academic achievements gained are above my child's age equivalency, I am actively seeking to place my child at a different Montessori.

A very good school for academics. As far as sports or extracurricular activities the opportunities are limited. You can enroll in music, dance, or gymnastics for an additional fee. Swim lessons are offered during the summer for an additional fee also. Spanish is taught on a weekly basis. Small class size means greater attention is given to an individual. Test scores for my childs Sat-9 were at one grade to three grades above my childs actual grade level. Faculty genuinely care about the success of their students.
