Testimonials
Katherine Powell“I can tell you that MSOR prepared Nick incredibly well for a rigorous middle school and high school curriculum. I expected a hard landing when he moved from the small world of Montessori to a larger, more traditionally structured school, but things went smoothly on every level. The academic foundation, work habits and social skills that he got from Montessori continue to serve him well in the classroom and beyond.” Katherine Powell, mother of MSR graduate
Isabella Carlton 2012 Graduate“Montessori is the root of my education. I learned things much differently than students in traditional classes. The teacher/student interaction has helped spur my success. I learned math facts, geography, and many other things using manipulatives. I learned how to step up and not be too shy in front of crowds, and I learned how to voice my opinion without being concerned about others’ opinions of me. This has helped me succeed both in the classroom, and beyond, and for this I am grateful.”
Anna Loyd 2009 Graduate“The friendships and memories I made during my nine years at Montessori will last a lifetime. I will always cherish the hands on experience and amazing atmosphere Montessori offered; there’s no place like it! Being able to say I have had the same best friend for fifteen years through Montessori is quite remarkable. I can’t thank the incredible teachers enough for pushing me to excel and doing my best. Attending Montessori was a wonderful experience that I will always appreciate.”
Bridget Ivey Montessori Graduate“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!”
Anne Claire Stapleton Mother of todder/primary student“My son was at MSR from the toddler program through the second year of primary. We moved to Atlanta, and his teachers at his new school ask how is he such a great reader to only be in kindergarten! I told them it was because of the awesome school he attended in Rome. His teachers give him first grade math and language work, and he is leaps and bounds ahead. We miss Montessori but know he had a great foundation there.”
Nicholas Carlton Class of 2010, received nominations to US Naval Academy and Merchant Marines“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.”
Shay Ray Mother of MSR graduates and grandmother of current student“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. “
Blair R. Carter, Parent and former studentAs 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.

Mary Beth Cauthen Mother of two Montessori graduates“Best school in the world! My kids turned out pretty darn great and I credit MSR with most of it!”
Chase Watterson Chase Watterson, parent of Tripp and Annie“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.”
