Anyway, I had a good time my two years here. Campus is small but nice. It is modern and old at the same time. Parking can be a hassle but I'm sure most schools have that problem. Buses come and go from Campus to Boston free of charge. Shuttles comes and goes around Waltham as well to pick up and drop off students that live off campus. Shuttles are also available to pick up and drop off around campus too for the lazier people.

Coming from a very good public school system, and with a lot of experience with some of the other private schools, I think my expectations were set too high. First, the pros: The kids are great. I never saw any bullying or harassment, and everyone seemed very pleasant and supportive. The facilities are reasonably nice for a small school, and some of the teachers were very good as well. The food was excellent, and for this reason alone our child still remembers his time at Rivers fondly. Next the cons: Frankly, some of the teachers were not great, possibly because of rapid turnover. Some seemed to have little or no teaching credentials or experience, and many would not have been able to get a job in a public school. There are no grades in the middle school, and the prose evaluations were useless for trying to figure out where extra work was needed. The student population is creepily monotonous in both race/ethnicity and in appearance. Also, the focus on athletics was frustrating. I initially thought that mandatory participation in athletics would be a good thing, building leadership and teamwork skills. I was not bothered by the fact that they have very few teams that could be consider "winning" because they are such a small school, but it is something that seems to really bother the administration, perhaps because this is an issue for enrollment and development. As a result, for many of the teams there seems to be enormous pressure on the kids to push harder and harder until they are exhausted and miserable. Most frustrating, however, was the rigid, paternalistic manner of the administration when there was any sort of concern or conflict about the curriculum. It was a sort of arrogance out of proportion to the quality of the school that was really irritating. We really had the impression that our child's welfare was solidly a second priority after the "way things are done at Rivers." I guess this is more of a rant than a review. Perhaps there will be some balancing opinions.

The worst thing I can say about this place is that we found it too late. You get paragraph long…read moreemails with multiple pictures EVERY DAY of what skill they worked on. The communication is awesome! The classes are great, the teachers are wonderful and they use the entire college campus as a learning zone. They have science classes at the college science center. They visit the college President, they have the early education professors read to them. The college interns build a vegetable garden with them. They have yoga and music class with this guy Philip. They keep the kiddo to parent ratio down with the help of the college interns. I can't say how happy my son was. At the end of the year they give you a binder with all those pictures, it's cute! I pulled him out of a bad day care and didn't know how good a place was until I put him in Regis. Highly recommend checking it out. The down side, the place is expensive. It is the price of Beginnings School in Weston yet they have more days off (they are closed during college breaks). But like I said, I would pay it again because we thought it was worth every penny.

EMPOWER YOUR CHILD WITH CONFIDENCE!!…read more I highly suggest that u do as I did... I hired Jerry of Y3K this summer after my daughter had a lot of trouble with anxiety and missing a great deal of school last year. Jerry is very thorough, responsive, flexible within the parameters discussed and provided structure, instilled confidence and gave my daughter the tools she needed to take on the school year right out of the gate. They even covered multiple subjects as well as time management in her studying. In a short time, it was clear that changes had been made and my daughter's confidence was drastically higher! We may continue tutoring on challenging classes during the school year and perhaps improve upon study skills and homework management. Give Jerry at Y3K a call! -Mike, Brookline, MA

I felt comfortable the minute I walked into the program and saw the huge yard with lots of outdoor playspace geared for my energetic little guy. The learning space inside was airy, bright and impeccably clean. There were so many hands on activities that I have never seen before in the regular preschool classroom because I never really knew what a Montessori school was until I met Maria and she guided me through her extensive curriculum. Apparently he will choose the activities he is interested in and they will provide him with lessons. Since each child could be learning something different at any given moment they have up to three teachers with only 10 children. It seems there's so much opportunity for our child to grow and learn in this warm and nurturing environment. I didn't feel this comfortable when we walked into the large daycare facility by our house so that is why I was so happy to have found this Montessori. The Spanish is an added bonus! Now I cannot wait until our little guy turns 2 so we can enroll him in.
