Salem Montessori School

This school has educated a couple of generations of Salemites now. It’s run by a wonderful family from Sri Lanka. Head teacher Shanti, her husband and one of their sons, along with another teacher who was a former parent at the school herself. The kids truly learn… academics, nature, compassion, character…
It’s a wonderful option to have your kids be able to stay enrolled during their «kindergarten» year so as to have a true «full day» kindergarten rather than the typical half-​day. Our son has thrived there the past two years and never complains of being «bored» as he used to do. He’s learned to read and write and count and more. Once a week they have Japanese culture and language lessons and they grow to love their Japanese teacher. Several times a year they put on programs where all the students sing and dance, learning various cultures, languages, and styles along the way.
The interaction of this school and our own efforts have been completely in sync and we will be sad to leave them but are truly grateful for the solid foundation they have helped give our child.
