Montessori American School - Chula Vista, California

Our daughter goes to Montessori American School and we are so happy with the experience she is having there. All the staff and teachers are so attentive to the needs of the students and helped my daughter settle in at her own pace and in her own way. She absolutely loves school and I have seen such positive changes in her independence and confidence since she started. You can tell the staff are so passionate and really care for the kids and allow them to learn and grow at their own pace. Between the nurturing environment and the high quality curriculum we could not be happier with our choice!

My daughter attended the Montessori American School for three years. She enjoyed attending school at MAS and was very sad to leave after she graduated from kindergarten there. She is now in the first grade and was very well prepared and advanced in math and reading when she entered. She loved her MAS teachers and enjoyed coming to school everyday. The kids are also enriched with instruction in art, music, yoga, and advanced Spanish. My son now currently attends MAS and is enjoying it as well. The teachers at MAS truly care about fostering the growth and development of an independent child. Thank you to the wonderful teachers and staff at MAS!

I highly recommend Montessori American School! All of the teachers are so kind to each child, truly encouraging each to their strengths. The school is true to the Montessori practice and is not a blend, as are other schools that I have observed. Both of my children have thrived under the direction of teachers who have taught here at Montessori American School for MANY years. My children LOVE to attend and learn. I am confident that this school has set a solid foundation for their learning path and that they have developed a true love for learning. The school offers yoga and art and music, all of which my children love participating in and have gained an appreciation for each. I am confident we made the BEST choice for our children at Montessori American School.

This is such an amazing school. Our daughter started there at 2 1/2 years old and we had tried to enroll her in other Montessori schools, but she would just cry when we left her. However, at Montessori American, she had no trouble with separation anxiety. Their calm and accepting environment, and their excellent drop off/pick up method really makes children happy to go to school and be away from mommy and daddy.

We also quickly noticed that our daughter became much more verbal and outgoing. She started doing more arts and crafts at home and was much more coordinated. She would also be very happy every morning to get in the car and go to school. Very different from our previous experiences.

The teachers are also excellent, friendly and communicative. We would text with them to get little progress reports and would even get pictures and video. They also really helped us with potty training.

When we enrolled our daughter, the school had been sold and the principal was leaving. However, the quality of the school remained just as high and they even started doing more after school activities to include the parents.

Overall, this is an excellent school and we thank them so much for being such a crucial role in the development of our daughter. Thank you!

This is the BEST Montessori! I've had my two children both attend MAS and I have to say it was the best decision I could make for them. My eldest child finished two years of instruction and left with confidence, leadership, and knowledge. I have to admit once they leave MAS they are ahead of their class. My second child will be graduating this June. The director and teachers have helped my daughter significantly gain confidence and self independence. I am confident that she will enter 1st grade with a great head start. The wonderful programs here at MAS also help to enrich our Kindergarten experience. She is taking advanced spanish, music, art history and yoga. The loving environment, the organization, and the teacher instruction are what I believe to be the key success of The Montessori American School.

We absolutely love this school. Our daughter has been going for a year now and has never once wanted to not go to school. The teachers, programs, and facility are wonderful. Our friends that have children that are close to the same age as our daughter always comment on how far along she is in her language, counting, and social skills. I am amazed everyday of the things she learns and wants to learn more about. Thank you Montessori American School!!

My son started attending Montessori two months ago. He loves his teachers and has improved on his social skills enormously, he is curteous and respectful and more assertive. He used to be shy around adults and other children, but not anymore. I am so happy to see the positive changes he has exhibited from his short time of enrollment. Not to mention his knowledge on all the continents, oceans and active interest in addition and a multitude of shapes. He is only four and is so intelligent! I know he will continue to advance in his education and etiquette while attending this school. 🙂

My son Daniel went to Montessori American School for two years and he loved everything about it. Miss Yoli is an incredible teacher. Daniel came out of the school with excellent learning skills particularly in math and reading, as well as in geography. I especially admire Miss Norma, the art teacher, she instilled in my son a huge love for her art class, he would wake up excited about having art and come home with beautiful drawings. I know my son misses his school, his friends and his teachers.
