Testimonials

I have been a student here since I was eighteen months old, and through my time here, I have experienced events such as International Day, Historical Timeline, and May Day that are unique to this school. Montessori has shaped me into the person I am today by helping me develop personal responsibility and a strong work ethic.

At Montessori, I formed a close connection with my teachers and classmates of all ages, allowing me to feel a sense of community. Because of our emphasis on community service, our school makes us feel we are involved in something bigger than ourselves.

The one on one time available with our teachers helps secure the foundations that will develop the child’s love of learning. These are all important skills in helping the child grow successfully into a mature, young adult, something that is difficult to find anywhere else.

“Having graduated from Montessori, I am aware nearly every school day of a keen desire to return to a Montessori-type environment.  I had some of the greatest teachers I will ever have while at MSR.  I was wonderfully prepared for my middle and high school careers.  It is impossible for me to fully put into words the quality and the well-rounded nature of the education I received from Montessori.”

 

“I will always remember getting to pick the sun on my birthday and doing the birthday walk! I also remember the peace rug and working out difficulties with my classmates. This approach helped me to problem solve and build relationships. I bonded with my classmates in such a unique environment that has led to friendships which have lasted through the years. Doing the golden chain in the lobby was one of my favorite memories!”

“When I became a mom and the time came to send my child to be in someone else’s hand, I asked myself how Luca will spend his days. After researching the Montessori method, I realized it is not only an educational process for your child, but also for yourself. The focus is on educating your child and helping develop parenting skills. There is a partnership between the school, the parent, and the child. I believe that the best investment to the future is education. So, Luca began MSR at the age of 18 months.

I have seen my child grow and develop beautifully. At the age of 5, his vocabulary, social skills, and understanding of life is quite impressive. I remember when Ms. Shannon, two months before Luca’s 3rd birthday, prepared Luca for a big step towards achieving self-independence. She also helped me work with him as he became potty trained!

The MRS community is an invaluable resource which we enjoy. The other parents become familiar with one another as we share our daily life routines. We have joy and peace that our children are being educated with kindness, knowledge and by guides who have a true love for children.

My Luca is a happy boy, who loves his teachers, enjoys going to school, and learns to treat living and non-living things with respect and kindness. All the structure and techniques through the years have helped Luca develop confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning while having fun.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the job of MSR educators give every day; surely you won’t regret it either.”

“One of the best decisions I ever made in my life was sending Braylen to the Montessori School of Rome. Such a blessing to have him taught and loved by such wonderful people. “

“There’s no better environment for a young impressionable mind than the Montessori School of Rome. The self-guided discipline the students receive here serve them for a lifetime. My children have benefited greatly from their Montessori foundations, and when I work with these students, I benefit as well. I’m amazed by their curiosity, wonder and appetite for learning new things.

The Montessori teachings are for every child to lay the foundation of learning. In a society of dependent thinkers, the method creates independent thinkers which is invaluable to society.”

 

Growing up at the Montessori School of Rome shaped me into the person that I am today. At MSOR I learned the value and power of knowledge; I now love to learn, and I yearn for answers. This has set me apart from many of my peers in high school and has contributed very much to my academic success. I also learned from a very young age how to be an independent student, and this has been invaluable in my high school experience. Additionally, growing up in such a diverse environment gave me a realistic view of the world and all of the different kinds of people and cultures that fill it; this helps me to work well with all kinds of people. I am forever grateful to have been blessed with a Montessori education.

“I enjoyed being able to work at my own pace without feeling pressured. After I graduated from MSR and went to middle school, I was surprised at how far ahead I was in my studies. Also, I noticed my work ethic was strong, and my thinking patterns were more independent than some of my classmates. Recently, I was admitted to the McWhorter School of Pharmacy, and I know that my foundations will help me during the difficult journey ahead!”
