It is a holistic education, with strong academics, lots of play, cultural studies, art, science, emotional intelligence, music, soccer, yoga, health, and the list goes on.

Our oldest child has started K and was very well prepared coming from CHP. We are so happy we found this gem for our children!

It is so nice to get together with like-minded parents that just want a place where their kids can play and explore. You yourself get a chance to be in the classroom and help out, play and see all of your kids' friends interact. Soon you will be getting your feet in the sand yard, going to parent meetings where the teachers will give you tips on how to calm your child during a meltdown, and you will talk to other parents and see that you're not alone. Some examples of community that I can think of during our time are the parent meetings, potluck events, a camping trip, and events at school where everyone is welcome for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. When we had our second child, and EECP knew we were finally home, we got a few gifts delivered for our new baby, but also a couple of big brother gifts and books from the school. When I'm at work and I get some photos sent to our parent group message board of what the kids are doing that day, it makes you wish you were at school that day instead of sitting behind a desk. Those are the times I know that we got lucky to find the EECP and other involved parents and teachers. One other thing I remembered that I enjoy is the stuff that our kiddo brings home. It is not just paintings that will soon be on your fridge or decorated shoe boxes, but also stories and music. Our 3-year-old would come home from school and teach me about Mardi Gras. He insisted on Mardi Gras songs being played in our home. He enjoyed dancing and marching and was explaining how parades worked, as if I had no idea what one was. It was so much fun to finally go to school and see all the kids parade around in fun costumes and carry around little decorated shoe boxes they made in class. This is just one of the events that we've loved as a family and now as a community.

My grandfather's funeral was held here and my great grandmother's cookie recipe is even in the church cookbook (the only thing I bake that doesn't come from a box). Prince of Peace has forever left it's mark on me... literally, I fell out of a tree in the preschool playground and bit through the skin under my lip. I may only attend service on Christmas Eve (for the candlelight and the pipe organ), but Prince of Peace holds a special place in my heart. It's beautifully located, with Camelback Mountain in the background and the sense of community is wonderful (not that I'm a part of that community, let's be honest). In all seriousness, if I was ever going to be part of a church community again, this would be the one. Now, I know on the surface an endorsement from a nonbeliever who never attends service holds little weight, but it actually does say a lot... especially if you've happened to catch any of my other reviews.

I love how each child is treated as a respected individual. A couple mornings ago, my 5-year-old had my husband sit down on the floor, take a few deep breaths, and he lead my husband in morning meditation. We did not teach him that, I assume he learned that at school. What's also great, our kiddo is very cautious and after just a few short weeks at school, his confidence is soaring. He LOVES to learn and do his school work. Montessori Academy is really a community. Do you know how they say it takes a village to raise a child? This is our village!

Villa is a God-send for my daughter Kylee. Kylee attended Hopi for a couple of years and it just wasn't working. We moved Kylee over to Villa beginning in 4th grade and she immediately loved it. She is blossoming as a reader and is having fun with her assignments in the Montessori environment. The student to teacher ration is really great. Kylee's classroom of 28 students has a teacher and TWO full time assistants. At hopi Kylee was really struggling, and at VM she has not only become a better student, but also a more confident, assertive, and creative little girl. The 28th Street campus across from Camelback High School is brand new and the setting is just lovely. I feel good about taking Kylee to school here. She is learning, she is safe, and she is loved there. What more could a parent ask for! Hat's off to Villa Montessori. If I could give it 6 stars I would.

It's true that if you're looking for a very rigorous/college prep academic experience, this likely isn't the right fit for your family. Villa seems to focus more on fostering curiosity, creativity, independence, community, and leadership. And yet, proficiency in reading, writing and math somehow just seem to happen. Our kids' teachers have been so caring and exceptional at creating a safe and positive classroom community where learning happens naturally. The handful of times I've brought a concern or request to administration, they have been extremely receptive and taken action where needed. It's clear the staff and teachers really care about the kids and their families. No school is perfect, of course, but Villa is a great fit for our family and I'm certain they will be well-prepared for high school when the time comes, both socially and academically.
