I am thankful that my children are in an environment where they are respected, valued and tended to. They come home each day with a passion for learning and I thank NSMS for nourishing that sense of joy. The school is filled with enthusiasm and energy for the course it has charted. The teachers and staff devoted to this mission. The parents invested not only in the academics of the school, but in the culture and community of the school. Whether you are a seasoned Montessori parent or just newly considering a Montessori education for your child, North Shore Montessori School is a wonderful community and a happy place to be a child.

They're efficient, and since it's somewhat small, you get lots of personal attention. (and I've been at an institute with lots of people) you want it to be small. Trust me. They're also very open to feedback, and willing to help if you have a problem. Parking can be annoying, as they don't really have their own lot, but it's not terrible. You can usually get a spot. And the bathroom is in the basement. But those aren't the things to focus on when it comes to a Montessori institute where you're going to become a teacher.

Our youngest, who is currently attending AMS full time, including their full-time wrap care program, absolutely loves going to school.

Our children both started school as 3 yr olds and almost instantly came home empowered, capable and endlessly curious. We love that our kids get to grow in one classroom for a 3-yr period, so they have room to learn at their own pace and also develop solid friendships. Daily practice of foundational concepts in math and language is done with beautiful materials so that learning is hands-on and abstract ideas are easily within reach. I wish I had learned math the way my kids have! This also means far less standardized testing than a traditional school, something our family appreciates. It's always a conscious choice to re-enroll our two kids each year because it is a significant portion of our budget. Still every year we agree that if money were no obstacle we wouldn't even question sending them to Milwaukee Montessori School.

Each child is given individual presentations according to his or her own interests and development. Each child is allowed freedom within limits to explore the environment, make choices, and utilize the materials at will. This allows the child the joy of discovery, the space and time to work at his/her own pace, the power to think for him/herself, the ability to problem-solve, to persist, and to gain the confidence, concentration, and the desire to learn more. There is no greater gift of education than for a child to become a joyful and motivated self-learner. In the child-centered Montessori environment, the Guide follows the child, and the child becomes the true teacher. The Guide "learns" how to truly assist each child, by utilizing the same techniques that Dr. Montessori used -- observing the child's needs and interests, then matching appropriate materials for the child's development. If the child is drawn to a particular material, he/she may choose to repeat it (repetition) over and over again until that skill is acquired. All of the materials are sequential in order of difficulty, and each child may begin according to his/her own ability.
