The staff at ACS prioritize educating students through a Christian worldview and preparing them for a life of service no matter what path they choose. My children (kindergarten and third grade) are having a great experience at ACS thus far, because they are so loved by the caring teachers and staff that pour into them daily.

There…read morehas been consistent improvements over the last few years in regards to how the school is ran and most importantly the educational values. Through easy research, I have found out that ACS is rated just as high academically as any private school in the area and more than most public schools. They have a 100% graduation rate and college acceptance (as well as those that decide to serve our country or by joining the trades). No school is perfect, but knowing that if there is any concern my children have, they can go to the any of the staff and can feel comfortable discussing their issues. Being able to pray with the students and have Christian values inner-twined with the education is what is most important to our family.

I'll be the first reviewer…read more I have had two graduate from Marmion and one currently attending. Marmion did a fantastic job preparing my older two for college and building two fantastic men. The kids I know who attended Marmion, graduate with a professional mature demeanor then most 17-18 year olds. The school focus has changed a little in the 10 years since my first son started. The school is a bit more focused on athletic extracurriculars than in the past and seems to not have as many academic avenues for students. In the past kids were encouraged to get involved in as many athletic, artistic, and academic extracurriculars. Some coaches seem to want kids to focus more on the importance one (their) activity or sport rather than being engaged in many activities at once. The school is still great and is academically challenging, particularly when kids want to be - see honors and dual credit classes. Although my wife and I graduated from other Chicago area Catholic College Prep schools we are happy we sent our boys to Marmion. Our younger boys are excited about the opportunity to attend Marmion so I think they are sold even after attending open houses at other schools.

The church and school should be ashamed of employeeing someone like Margaretll Rieske-Moeller. The unprofessionalism of the so called church secretary magdy. Magdy can even take and deliver a message. She refused to provide an email for the pastor. There is far too much nepotism in this church. It will NEVER change. The pastor is young and lacks leadership or authority. The church seniors are not approachable or available for concerns. They only have people on the church board if your name is Rogers, Schmidt, Pfizter, French. Never new blood. They have their heads in the sand to the mid management of the church. The church however is far superior to the school! Run..don't walk-away from this money grubbing church

This is not a traditional school, they allow children to make mistakes and encourage them to find the answers. They support the children in learning how to communicate with each other in addition to teaching beyond educational standards in arithmetic, writing language science and so on. My children left Montessori and felt that the public schools were not able to keep pace with what they learned through these programs. They have both expressed that their public school experience is socially disappointing because the students are often unkind and treat each other with disrespect. While my children were encouraged to help peers there public student peers are often concerned with shaming and putting peers who are different than themselves down. Fox Valley Montessori taught my children that learning is fun, that curiosity is a value. My children learned to be respectful, they learned how to manage their work and it is serving them quite well in high school as they manage their time for finals and AP classes. This is not a traditional school, it is so much more, this school teaches your child what community is. Their Montessori education has prepared them far better than I could have imagined and I cannot recommend this school enough.

We are so incredibly grateful to have found Fox Valley Montessori School. From the very first day,…read moreit was clear this wasn't just a school--it was a community where our children feel safe, supported, and genuinely excited to learn. If you're seeking an accredited Montessori program that truly understands and nurtures the whole child--mind, heart, and spirit--FVMS is the best choice in the area. We couldn't be more thrilled with the foundation the school is offering our girls!
