It's all thanks to Mrs. Card and her advice for how I was able to bump up my second SAT score by 70 points. She has a very unique way of how she approaches students. No matter how well or poor my results on a test, quiz or any assignment were, she never once increased the pressure nor did she ever raise the intensity on me. She was always consistent. I stopped working with her after my second SAT, right before senior year began. However, I reflect back on how being tutored and given important advice by Mrs. Card was a major reason for how I became an all A student my senior year of high school. Mrs. Card is the one!

Soon after starting at this school, my son's independence soared, and he came home insisting he participates in household chores.

The Head of School, Ms. Taylor, cares deeply about the wellbeing and growth of each child. The lead teacher, Ms. Karla, is incredibly warm and caring, and has been meeting the unique needs of each of my children. This is a true Montessori school: the environment is carefully prepared and when you observe the children in class, they attend to their own work happily and independently to the sounds of instrumental music. We are so happy we chose CHOM and cannot recommend it highly enough!
