It's almost a year out since my child was enrolled in this school but after having time to reflect…read moreI want to make sure parents are aware of our experience. My child was around 2.5 when starting his first "school" experience here. He was part time (3 hours in the morning) and attended maybe a total of 5 or 6 school days before they told me they needed to unenroll him. The reasoning was regarding his emotional regulation. I could definitely see that he was having a hard time with emotional regulation - even at home. They also advised me to get him evaluated. I have no issues with getting my son help that he needs, but it did shock me to have such a strong response after barely knowing him and without giving him a chance to acclimate to a new environment. I asked for specific things that happened to understand what he was doing exactly that would result in him being unenrolled and the examples they gave were like "running around" and "struggling with the routine". I thought they were going to tell me he physically hurt someone or himself or that he was destructive to the classroom. I took time to reflect on their comments and spoke to his doctor. He did not have concerns and said that at 2.5 we cannot expect toddlers to have a grasp on their emotional regulation yet. Since this experience, he has now been in different schools where he is thriving. It's not due to smaller class ratios - the school he is in now has the same ratio and he is so happy to go to every day. I'm not sure what was going on at North Shore that made him so distressed. I believe if they gave him the opportunity to adjust he could have done well there too. Unfortunately, I think they only accept specific types of children that can follow very rigid routines. I chose a Montessori school because I thought the philosophy was to follow a child's lead as opposed to rigidity. I definitely acknowledge that my child was having a harder time managing his emotions (especially at that age), but parents of toddlers who are still learning how to regulate emotions and need more fluidity to just be a kid should be aware of this before enrolling. I also want to note that I find it extremely odd that you can't find reviews on this school. Google reviews are turned off, and there are only 2 posts on Facebook.

I'm not known for long reviews here but I could write well not a book, but quite a brochure. EVERYONE at this school is amazing. I've had 4 children go through excellent high performing public schools in high income suburbs but North Shore exceeds them by a substantial margin. Do yourselves and your children the favor of visiting.

This is the most incredible school in MPS. The teachers are outstanding. I had the opportunity to…read morework side by side to many of the teachers here through student teaching placements. I've had at least some contact with almost every teacher here and have really seen amazing work. As a student teacher in the area, I worked in Greenfield, Brookfield, Wauwatosa, Franklin, and Milwaukee schools and this one has been my favorite. The families here are very supportive of the unique education their children are blessed to have. If you are looking at possible schools for your child, research immersion style learning and see if it is for your family. All topics are taught in German from pre-K onward all day. The kids pick it up through exposure and practice as they enter upper classes. English instruction starts in 2nd grade. Many think the children will be behind - not the case. The school actually has above average scores in all content areas. They still can speak English fine because they hear it outside of school and begin an understanding of language structure from being taught mechanics of it. The kids here are also exceptional. Much fewer issues than other schools. Good neighborhood too. If you plan to enroll the cut off age is 1st grade or they are too far behind. There is also a waitlist, so enroll as soon as enrollment opens up!

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.
