Old Mission Montessori School

I have two children at this school and they are thriving! It is such a positive, loving and supportive environment with an excellent feeling of community. The parents are involved and friendly. The teachers are phenomenal and are great at working with each child as an individual. My children have become much more independent and confident while at the same time learning so much. It goes hand-​in-​hand here. The teachers genuinely care for the children.
Mrs. King is an amazing principal. She knows every student by name and is an active presence in the classroom. She is often helping after hours with the after care students. Her days are long and involved and she always calls me back. Some days it is not until 5:00 but she is that dedicated – she works well after all the students have left and always makes herself available to answer any question I might have.
I highly recommend OMMS to any parent and am so appreciative that we found this school.

I have been a parent at this school for 4 years and we are very fortunate to have found it. The academics are tailored to your son’s/daughter’s needs and many children are working above grade level. Many after school activities are a huge benefactor. Our music and PE coach, both men by the way, are the best around! Small class sizes are helpful as well as teachers having a caring heart and a desire to teach the individual child.

I feel like I grew up at OMMS. Preschool up until 3^rd grade. It’s like a family there. Most of the teachers I had are still there from more than 20 years ago. I stop in from time to time and say hello and bring my daughter by (who isn’t old enough to start yet).
The transition academically from OMMS to public was a breeze. Entering 4^th grade I was far above the curve. There was even talk about skipping 4^th grade (But I was very small in stature so it wasn’t something I wanted physically).
I had a lot of family go through the school as well… All have been successful academically and beyond the traditional school settings. It shaped a foundation for hard work, problem solving and social development leading to successful adult lives. I would suggest this educational setting for all children to help achieve the most potential early on.

Exactly what reviewer «AP» said. The principal couldn’t care less about ANYTHING that goes on. And when you go to her with a concern (a teacher called my son HOPELESS because he couldn’t draw he told him to in freaking art class), she will always find something she MUST address with you. Ie ‘I’m glad you called because I was going to call you any way to speak with you about your speed in the parking lot’ or some other nonsense. Absolute BS! Not only am I going to the diocese, but I’m also going to then state and department of education. Save your money and frustration and and please go elsewhere!
