My child has been there since kindergarten and is a part of the high achievers class. She's now in 4th grade. Academics are #1 for them and it shows being that they're an A school for over 5+ years. I gave them 4 stars because I don't receive communication as much as I'd like from my child's teachers when it comes to projects and wanting things for the actual classroom. My child usually tells me what she needs instead of the teacher sending out a formal memo. That's my only issue. Otherwise the school is great and I appreciate all that they do for my child and other students to succeed and be the best they can be.

Our son Jack has been part of the Montessori Institute of Broward community since he was two years…read moreold, and it has been an incredible experience for our family. The school truly nurtures independence, curiosity, and confidence in its students. Over the years we've watched Jack grow not only academically but also personally, developing strong communication skills, responsibility, and a genuine love of learning. One of the most special opportunities recently was his participation in the MMUN (Montessori Model United Nations) conference in New York. Seeing students represent their schools and countries on an international stage at such a young age speaks volumes about the quality of education and encouragement they receive at Montessori Institute of Broward. The leadership at the school is exceptional. Ms. E, the principal, creates a warm, supportive environment where students feel valued and inspired. She truly leads with heart and vision. Jack's Grade 4 teacher, Ms. Kay, has also been outstanding--patient, dedicated, and deeply invested in her students' growth. She challenges them academically while also nurturing their confidence and character. We are incredibly grateful to be part of such a thoughtful and inspiring school community. Montessori Institute of Broward has played a huge role in shaping Jack into the curious, confident young person he is becoming. Luke aged 5 is also thriving at MIB and i cant wait to see how he progresses.

Conservatory Prep Schools provides students with a uniquely personalized learning environment…read more Class size is limited so that teachers can work with individual students. The curriculum is structured around the concept of problem based learning which allows students to explore topics in depth and emphasizes critical, creative, analytic, and independent thinking.

This is a school where not only are students given one on one attention, they are also cared about…read moreas individuals. Each student is well known by their teachers & celebrated, encouraged & dare I say, loved? Valued? It is truly a unique place. In addition to that rarity, the school is FUN! They find ways to teach that are creative & engage kids because they are having a good time. This is not your average education but rather a living breathing education-full of excitement. For example, chemistry may be taught via cooking and biology through a mystery that needs to solved. The headmaster is a graduate of Waldorf (Steiner) school & has brought the excellence of that education to her program. You won't find ANYTHING else like this in South Florida. I can't think of many schools where a child is so well cared for emotionally as well as academically. If you are lucky enough to stumble upon this little gem in South Florida you won't want to pass it up. Unconventional? Yes. However, it WORKS. The children are receiving an A+++ education in an alternative setting with amazing educators who see their 'job' as a calling & are head and shoulders above other educators. Give it a try--they welcome any child to come for a day or two visit so that they can see first hand what it is all about. Your child will come home raving & will actually be EXCITED about a SCHOOL! Meet with the headmaster and see for yourself what an elegant, caring, extremely intelligent, strong and capable woman she is. I can say that I feel blessed that my son has the chance to attend this school. I could go on and on but I suggest that you check it out for yourself. Also, it is a private school and education of this quality cost money. What better investment is there though really? However, I should mention that that do have tuition assistance and will also help you look for any scholarships that you may qualify for so, don't let the fact that you have to pay tuition deter you from at least checking it out. Where there is a will there is a way. If every child were given a healthy place to grow and learn like this, the world would be a much better place. Heck! We should ALL be seen, honored and celebrated the way students are at this school! It is located in the Jewish Community Center however, it is NOT a religious school BUT it IS a 'spiritual' school in that the students are taught to care for one another, the greater community, the planet and environment and THEMSELVES. This being said, it is NOT some 'Hippy' school. It is a serious program and a lot is offered and expected from the students academically. I would say the classes are more akin to an undergraduate program at a good university. They are certainly far more challenging than a regular high school-private or public. The students are expected to research & write at a college level (They are WELL taught and guided to be able to do so). They all take Latin, do community service as well as internships in fields of their own interest. They research utilizing real scientific publications and are taught to properly use them. This is an exceptional college preparatory program. Upon graduation they should be able to coast on auto-pilot through an undergraduate degree. There is also a STRONG sense of community. No high school 'Clicks'. No one's excluded, there is NO bullying or teasing-PERIOD. All of these 'details' are paid close attention to by the staff. I could go on and on but , see for yourself. The headmaster's name is Wendy Weiner and she welcomes visitors. Mrs. Weiner is an exceptional human being. When she felt that South Florida was lacking an acceptable school for her two lovely daughters to attend--she OPENED her own school! Wow. That alone speaks volumes about her but she is also a warm, kind woman. She's strong and capable in a way that inspires others just through her presence. Her children are both amazing young women and demonstrate what an awe-inspiring mother Wendy is. Her eldest daughter is now attending college where she is a member of a co-ed 'Community Service' Fraternity. Clearly she is following in her parents footsteps and giving back to others. Mr. Weiner has also played an essential part in bringing Conservatory Prep to fruition. He is a warmhearted, friendly and earnest man. He works with sincerity and I swear the man has stealth skills! His modesty and humble way of keeping all the wheels in motion is admirable. A husband and wife team adds to the feeling of community that is rarely found anymore and set's a positive example for the children of a loving, intact marriage. Every detail in this tiny school has been considered and achieved. The students, faculty and parents/guardians form a community that touches my heart and feels more like an extended family than simply an institution of learning.

They seriously need to take a look at these people's interpersonal skills when hiring them because instead of listening to students or parents and providing helpful and calm responses, or even instead of listening to each other, they instead interrupt, yell, or dismiss you, making you feel stupid. They even laugh and make fun of the students when they think they aren't listening. We are, by the way. They are also quite disorganized, expecting students to complete summer assignments but not releasing schedules until a few days before, or even the morning of, the first day of school. It's ridiculous. You can't complete assignments for classes you don't even know if you have. Because the students find out their schedules so late, and the staff mess them up anyway, all of the students (obviously) want to change their classes because they were given the wrong ones. But instead of assisting in an organized fashion, like calling one class period and grade to the office at a time, they lock everyone out of the office for the next few weeks and yell at them if they try to go into the counselor's office to speak with somebody whether or not it's related to class schedules. Then, when they finally let you in the office 1-1.5 months after school started, the students can either no longer switch classes because it's too late or they switch and are now lost because they missed the first 2 months of class. Also, picking up graduation tickets this past school year was the most horrible and infuriating thing Ive ever witnessed. The seniors had a picnic outside for an hour or two, then were sent to the auditorium to pick up their graduation tickets. Instead of seating all of the students and calling down each row in an organized fashion to get their tickets, they leave the students outside (right outside the door) in the 90-degree Florida heat when they've already been outside and want to go inside. Some of these kids are animals and push and shove, but that's nothing new. What is new is the way the staff handled it. They let all the students (I think about 600) crush each other against the door for over an hour while 2, maybe 3 staff members were inside giving out tickets. To 600 kids. The staff would open the door ever so slightly to let in 3 or 4 students and then close it again. It was a free for all. The staff would occasionally come outside and say, "This is the most ridiculous thing Ive ever seen. I can't believe these kids." Without doing a single thing to help, just complaining and yelling at them. Meanwhile all the students are crushing each other trying to get inside. Students were crushed in the crowd and some students were even crowd surfing. I cannot make this up. Students were crying and many were in the office trying to tell the staff, but all they said was, "Do you want me to find your graduation tickets for you? I can go around the back and get it for you" No, I don't care about the graduation tickets anymore. They aren't going anywhere. I care about the 600 kids out in the hot sun without shade crushing each other to get inside. Fix the problem. Don't band aid it to make only the ones who complain happy to shut them up. Ridiculous. I asked around, apparently similar things happened last year too. I can't speak for any years before that. Be better for these kids. They didn't ask to be here, but you did. Act like you want to be here or quit and find something that makes you happy in life rather than making yourself miserable all day every day and acting like it's not your own fault, because it is. Only YOU control where you are, and ONLY you control who you are. Thank you to those teachers, staff, and faculty who care about their jobs and these kids. Two stars because of good classes. Without taking the classes into account, I would give it zero stars if I could. Don't send your kid here unless you have to, they will come home complaining.
