This is a great school! My daughter has been enrolled for a little over a year and we're amazed by her growth.

We absolutely love Alpharetta International Academy! The professionalism of the staff, the genuine…read morecare and attention given to each child, and the emphasis on both learning and healthy play make this a truly special school. AIA embraces the traits we value about traditional Montessori education: fostering independence, curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. One of the most rewarding things has been watching our children become more independent and confident by taking initiative, solving problems on their own, and showing genuine excitement about what they're learning. The teachers and staff are wonderful, and we have complete trust in their ability to nurture, guide, and challenge our children. Beyond the classroom, AIA has built a wonderful community of families, with welcoming parents and fun events that bring people together and make the school feel like an extended family. It's a joy to see our kids thrive in such a thoughtful, supportive environment. We couldn't be happier with our experience and wholeheartedly recommend AIA to other families!

Very disappointing experience overall. We signed up early for the next school year, but literally…read morewithin a few days we found out because of a work situation that we would be moving to Canada. We reached out right away, explained everything and asked if they could make an exception. They absolutely could have if they wanted to, but instead chose to charge us close to $2,000 and kept pointing us back to the contract and legal language. I even appealed directly to both the outgoing and incoming heads of the school, hoping there would be some understanding given the circumstances and how quickly we notified them. Unfortunately, there was none. The saving grace for us was my son's teachers, Mr. Rao and Mrs. Joshi. They were wonderful and we genuinely appreciated them. Beyond that, I was never particularly impressed with the administration or the overall experience. For a school that positions itself as a premier institution and has so many positive accolades, our experience was very different. To us, it felt like a pretty average/subpar school packaged and marketed as something much more. If you are considering AIA, just make sure you read every line of what you sign. Don't assume there will be any flexibility or understanding even when circumstances change within a matter of days.

Let me start this review by saying there are a TON of Montessori schools and not all of them are…read morethe same. This school is AMI accredited. Which is a big deal if you want to ensure the school follows Maria Montessori's principles. We have been at this school for 6 years now. We started in primary when my older child was only 2.5 years old. We transitioned over from a Lutheran pre-school that was more of a Mom's Morning out program. I found, observing in the classroom, it was amazing (and strange and scary) to see kids between the ages of 3 and 6 year olds, doing work. Real work. Cutting a real banana, peeling a real carrot, juicing a real orange. Not trying to copy adults with make believe kitchen items. When my child started going, the first few weeks I felt it very weird that all she would bring home (once a week in a folder) was a sheet which seemed to have scribbles with a color pencil(s). Or a sheet with crayon marks. I say scribbles and marks because we transitioned over from a school where she'd bring home a pre-printed sheet on which she had "colored" (or had been helped to color within the lines by the teacher). Or a sheet which had some numbers or colors or alphabets (again helped by the preschool teacher). Plus, I come from a culture that expects children should know their numbers through 10 and their ABCs, by the time they reach 3. I wondered for several months what the point was that my child, who knew her ABCs and 123s before joining the school, was doing work like water pouring and bean spooning and polishing metal and sticking bits of paper with glue. How was all of that going to help her in college? Not to mention, she was doing the same activities every day. I wondered why she wasn't learning something new daily. However, I watched and went along with what the teacher advised me - which was basically to leave the numbers and alphabet learning to the school and let my child engage in active play at home. To let her explore the outdoors and play with puzzles and color her heart out when not in school. I slowly saw my child bring home more "academic" work. Her attempts to trace shapes (metal insets), her attempts at basic cursive writing, her attempts at writing numbers. And, I got to watch her pick up to read. Not taught by me. I then understood, the repeat activities I thought useless, were actually helping her develop her small motor skills. It was helping her understand how to practice a work till she got good at it. As she grew and transitioned from a follower in the class to one of the leaders (the "big" kid) I realized she had beautiful cursive writing and was bringing home little booklets with stories, sheets of paper that had addition problems solved with the stamp game amongst many other things. She grew from a shy silent 2.5 year old into a 6 year old confident enough to give a peer lesson to a younger kid in her class. Over the years, not only has she grown in this school where she moves into Upper El in the coming year but also there's been a personal growth in my thinking. A good school education ensures kids learn, in school. Where there's little to no need of homework. I used to have nightmares a long time ago about how I'd teach her addition and subtraction and multiplication and the tables when she was old enough, but ... I have not had to teach her any of it! She's learned that all at her pace, at school. My second child is now in primary having gone through the toddler program at the school, and I'm amazed at the things he knows (not taught by me). He's gone from a little 18mo who had anxiety leaving my side, to a 3 year old blowing me kisses while leaving my car at carpool and asking me to have a good day. I can't wait to go through the first plane again and watch him grow. This time though, I know I won't have any doubts about the non-language/non-math works and will delight in every piece of paper with colored pencil scribbles that he brings home.

Love love love this school and the environment! The teachers and administration are so warm and…read morecaring their families and children! You can feel a sense of family as soon as you enter.
