Montessori School of San Diego

We just finished 5 years at this wonderful school! Both my children were in room 3. Ms. Samiya is the most loving and caring teacher we could have ever asked for! In all the 5 years we never had a day where the kids cried and didn’t want to stay… they felt comfortable in the warm environment that Ms. Samiya provided! Both my kids were reading, writing and doing simple math by the time they left her class. And they were only five years old! Such a wonderful school!

We found this school because our neighborhood school is not a school we wanted our daughter to attend but we’d missed the Choice application deadline for other public schools since we thought we were moving and then decided to stay. I am so incredibly happy it all worked out that way! Our five year old daughter has absolutely thrived here. The structure here and the method of teaching engender a self-​initiated love for learning. One of the most important aspects to me is the friendly and accepting social environment that is nurtured. There is no allowance for cliques or bullying or other inappropriate behavior, just a focus on positive and healthy social interaction between every child. I can’t emphasize enough what a relief that is to know I am leaving my daughter at a safe and empowering place every single day.
The cost is a consideration so we were originally going to move her to a (cost free) public school for 1^st grade but now I’m not sure I can bring myself to do that. I feel like the quality of the social and academic education received here by our most precious asset (our child) is worth anything else we sacrifice in order to pay the tuition.

Absolute jewel. It is a warm and inviting environment for children. The teachers are great. I am not sure if it gets better than this. My second child now has the privilege to attend this wonderful school and she is thriving. Highly recommend this school to any parent.
