I would recommend anyone of color going there especially females on the more "mature" looking side

My son went here for two years his preschool teacher was amazing but the first grade teacher, which…read morewas also going to be his second grade teacher was not. She was presumed to be singling out and having other children degrade my child as well as other kids. When head staff was presented with this matter, multiple times last year 2023 it was shrugged off, and all of my emails were ignored or returned with empty remarks. Right before his second grade year started, parents of the children in my sons classroom had told me that my son was being treated poorly and that is why some of our kids were bonding because they were sticking up for him. When I approached the head staff about this, they told me they would not be switch classrooms and I was for a lack of better terms out of luck. Then disenrolled my son after I said he wouldn't be attending if he could not switch classrooms. Poor community really bad people skills and a huge lack of empathy for the children who go to the school. it really is all about money here. I am happy. He is no longer enrolled at the school.

We wanted to ensure this would be the last move for him until high school. After touring Summit on my own, and then separately with our son, we knew we had found the right place. The campus is beautiful with separate classrooms for art, music, science and languages. His teachers are amazing; he has created real bonds with them as well as his classmates. He is excelling in every way and is happy to go to school each day. I often hear this is the best kept secret in Ahwatukee and I couldn't agree more! My only regret is we didn't start him here in preschool! I really didn't know what we were missing out on until he started at Summit.

As a parent of a current student, I wanted to share our honest experience because school choice is…read moresuch a deeply personal decision. Before enrolling at this school, our son attended a public charter school where he experienced severe bullying and struggled daily in overcrowded classrooms. He would come home emotionally defeated and anxious. Making the decision to switch to this private school was truly life-changing for our child. The difference has been night and day. Our son is now happy, confident, and feels safe at school again. His mental health, emotional well-being, and overall outlook have improved in ways we honestly hoped for but weren't sure were possible. I also want to note that we drive 30 minutes each way because of the positive environment and support our son receives here. In our experience, the school has been welcoming, attentive, and focused on the students' well-being. The administration and staff have been supportive, communicative, and genuinely invested in creating a safe and nurturing learning environment. For our family, choosing this school has been one of the best decisions we have made for our child's safety, confidence, and overall happiness.

My son started at Ahwatukee Foothills Montessori (AFM) when he just turned three years old, and…read morenow--at the age of four--we're relocating out of state. In those two years, he has truly blossomed. The school has provided an incredibly loving, nurturing, peaceful, and enriching environment that supports not only academics but also social and emotional growth. His teacher, Ms. Lynn, has been extraordinary--gentle, attentive, and genuinely invested in his development. Ms. Meaghan, the director, leads with both heart and high standards, ensuring every child receives exceptional care and education. My child has also benefited from Spanish lessons with the wonderful Sra. Dolores, gaining confidence in both English and Spanish. Moreover, AFM offers this level of quality education at a significantly more affordable tuition compared to other Montessori schools in the area. They have not only taught my son--they have loved him. This is something I will never forget or be able to repay. I wholeheartedly recommend AFM to any family seeking a school that truly nurtures both the heart and mind of children while fully supporting their parents.

We are so thankful for the impact it has had on our child's early development!
