Research Montessori School Holy Rosary private Schools in Cleveland, Ohio

“My 2 children have attended MSHR since age 4, my daughter will be entering 4th and my son now in 2nd, so I have 6 years experience with the school. I have always found the teachers and the administrators to be completely approachable and genuinely concerned about not only a child's education, but also their development socially and emotionally. As an example, my son was having problems retaining lessons given by the teacher, who gave every effort to repeat lessons and give personal attention. Finally an appointment was made with an expert who did a thorough evaluation. The improvement is stunning and I am 100% sure we would not have received such attention in a public school system. Teacher turnover has been a concern, but in time the concerns have proved to be unfounded. The pricing is competitive and the location is diverse and stimulating.”

“My child was in preschool at Holy Rosary. I wouldn't recommend it -- it doesn't live up to what I'd heard and read about Montessori schools valuing each child and encouraging him or her to guide the learning. The principal demands strict conformity to the policy and philosophy of the school, to such an extent that some parents feel they aren't respected and their children's learning is stifled. The problems in the relationship between my child and the teacher may come from the fact that the teacher doesn't have many years of experience -- with more time in the classroom I'm sure the teacher will become more perceptive. The teacher is slow to take the initiative and find ways to help the children challenge themselves -- one of the things I'd been hoping a Montessori school would do. Parents interested in Montessori preschools should look at other schools in the area.”
