Testimonial

As a new parent, I was very excited to have the opportunity to send our son to Montessori School of Rome. It was something very special to me as I went to this same Montessori School at the same location over 30 years ago.

I’m happy to report that our son has excelled since day one! His communication and listening skills improve daily. His independence, confidence and problem solving abilities are well beyond what any parent could ask for at his age. The way he processes everything that goes on around him is incredible, sometimes even scary.

I’m a firm believer that his development is due, mostly in part, to Montessori School of Rome and the wonderful teachers and staff that care for him. We are forever grateful.
