What an awesome school! It has been a neighborhood school for over 50+ years. The building still…read morelooks like the original. It is a small school with some of the most amazing teachers. They have a great program for children who need a little extra help too. The drop off/pick up here is simple. They are very involved in the community too. They have an edible garden that they grow veggies in. This school needs an updated playground and at one time, Lowe's and 11Alive said that they were upgrading it, but I am not sure why they have not as of yet. Hmmm.... I highly recommend this school!

Okay. I don't go to this school lolz =P And I don't even have kids yet…read more But, I live in the area and my sister, who does have a lil girl, is looking to move closer to me (Yay! =)), and wanted to check out some of the elementary schools in the local area. She's not looking to move til the end of summer, but getting her ducks in a row early. :) Anyway, I went with her on a tour of the school to check it out. It's pretty nice. It's definitely an older school, but I kinda like that - it gives it a nice old-world feel of the days when innocence was a bit more the norm. All of the teachers and staff seemed so nice and friendly and they were all very knowledgeable. The way it's built, there's a cute little courtyard in the middle of the school and that's really neat. They have a big cafeteria, with one of those stages up front :) A nice big gym in its own building for the kiddies to play their games and exercise. A very nice little library. The outside is pretty huge out back, with some basketball courts and a nice wooded area. The playground was pretty lacking though. But when I asked about it, they said that actually they are building a new, better and bigger one this very month! They have a dedicated system for disadvantaged children and they do participate in the pre-K lottery thing, which my sis was really excited about =P. It's literally right in the middle of a big neighborhood (it borders on mine), so it's REALLY convenient if you live in the area. And of course being Asian, we were concerned about racial diversity - but no need - walking around we saw students from everywhere, so that's really nice too.

We discovered Hess Academy when we were looking for a preschool program for our son. By the time it…read morewas time for him to begin Kindergarten at City Schools of Decatur (he was zoned for Winnona), we were so in love with Hess that we decided to stay. There are so many things that are great about Hess, but here the three things that work especially well for us. First, plenty of healthy outside time. The kids begin the day with 20-30 minutes in the playground before they need to into their classes. Lunch and recess are another hour, and everyone finishes the day with another 15 minutes in the playground. Second, classes are capped at 12-14 students with two full-time teachers. The individualized attention that our son's intellectual and emotional needs receive are, therefore, outstanding. Finally, the kids (and teachers) do not go through the horrible Standardized Testing that has become the norm at the Public-School system (although teachers and educators have been saying for years that this kind of testing is pedagogically harmful). There is so much more to love about this school--like the devotion that Hess teachers show their students and the sense of community. Just go and tour the school!

Hess has been a great fit for my middle school child! It's a small, warm and accepting community…read morewith many great teachers. The small class sizes really help my child thrive. I also appreciate the focus on outdoor time and field trip experiences.

We are very pleased with Arbor Montessori's primary program. Both of our boys are in their final…read moreyear of primary and the experience has been exceptional, from the professionalism and experience level of the teachers, to the classrooms, to the administration, and most of all the quality of the education: our children demonstrate strong intellectual curiosity and capability, independence in actions and thought and appreciation for sense of community. Arbor is authentic Montessori and it shows in the children. Our boys minds are so alive and curious and their sense of place in the world has expanded greatly. The teachers (and administration) are adept at understandings the children as individuals and make great efforts to customize lessons around the child's interests which further excites the children about learning. We look forward to continuing into Elementary with Arbor.

From the owner: This campus serves children ages 18 months to 6 years…read more What makes an Arbor Montessori education remarkable and unique is how your children will learn and how they will feel about learning for the rest of their lives.
