Except for the ones at MCGS with whom I am lucky enough to spend an hour every Wednesday doing science projects. These kids are better all around than most adults I know. And from what I've seen, they wash their hands way more frequently. As corny as it might sound, the kids at MCGS give me a lot of hope. They are the best behaved, most thoughtful, and smartest scamps I have ever hung out with. They definitely put grammar school me to shame (girl was too busy matching scrunchies to Fila kicks to study). Best of all, they are cool and hilarious. The point is, this school is doing something very right. I suspect it has a lot to do with the fact that it is basically a fortress. They're doing a pretty great job of keeping out the harsh elements of Mission Hill and getting these awesome kids to care about learning. They made me adore them, despite being children -- they're changing the world already.

When looking for a school for our children six years ago, we found Kingsley Montessori and were…read morevery impressed by the staff and the educational program. We decided to our have our children attend the school and are very happy that we did. By utilizing the Montessori method in the younger classes and weaving it in to the older classrooms (which go through 6th grade), Kingsley offers a creative, fun, and effective way of learning. Not only are our children achieving academic success, but they both also love going into the classroom each day. As a family, we adore the caring and thoughtful staff and the overall school community. Highly recommend.

His teachers care not only about his educational growth, but are invested in his personal growth-- taking time to learn about his interests and passions and finding ways to bring these (and the passions of all his classmates!) into the classroom. We can't wait to send our daughter to the school next year and watch her thrive, too.

She laughed , never apologize and stumble on each word as she did not know what to say. It sounds like a scam.
