Our family has been so happy at WRM. Our son is currently in one of the primary classes and he…read moreloves it. He is so happy to go to school every day and so happy when I pick him up. He even LOVES it when he has before and after care! I have been so impressed with his amazing teachers. They truly have such a strong understanding of child development and are so positively supportive. I love seeing the pictures they add to the Montessori Compass site/app each week. I feel like it provides such a lovely window into what my child is doing and learning each day. He loves everything about his day -- his works, outside playtime, Spanish, art, music, gardening, and the animals (chickens, ducks, and goats)! He's started tennis this year, which they offer after school and he loves it! Our son has already learned so much in his time there. I'm amazed at what he comes home and "teaches" and shows me. I love seeing his work that's sent home every Thursday -- it is detailed and he's able to explain everything to me. He has become such good friends with his classmates and these friendships are so important and special to him. It's also lovely to see that he knows many of the older students in upper elementary and middle school because they have some special activities throughout the year together. After looking at numerous private schools all over the city, we finally chose WRM and I wish I had just started here and not spent so much time with "the search". The whole school has such a positive, comforting atmosphere/feel/vibe. Their focus on diversity, culture, and inclusivity is sincere and a huge part of their current goals. The lovely director, Connie Laufersky, is always warm and welcoming and so calm and helpful. Their mission, "... where every child discovers the highest version of themselves" is lived and practiced every day. You can see it in how the teachers interact with the children and how they truly act as their guides allowing each child to find who they are. We could not be happier to be a part of the WRM family!

We attended the open house in fall 2024 for our child who would have started WRM for third grade…read moreduring the 2025-2026 academic year. We were sufficiently impressed and the kid liked it, so we applied. The application fee was $500. There was supposed to be class visits for student applicants in February-March 2025 to see if they were a good fit and if the child liked the environment. We were never contacted for a visit. In fact, we were never contacted about anything at all. I am writing this review in May 2025 and we never received notification that she had been accepted or not. Clearly, she had not, and we have moved on so that is fine. But aren't we at least owed an answer for our $500? My wife wrote to inquire and was told that a post card acknowledging the application was sent in October 2024. Ok, fine. But what about after October 2024? My wife was told the file was incomplete. Ok, if that is the case, why were we not notified? We sent all required materials so we we were unaware that the file was incomplete. But that still raises the question why the admissions director at WRM did not follow up and notify us that certain materials were missing (apparently lost by their side)? I cannot speak to the pedagogy at WRM. It may be very good. But the admission process leaves much to be desired. The two stars are for an unwillingness to follow up or to notify us of their decision. I guess we were just to supposed to figure out that no news meant rejection. As I said, that is fine because we found an alternative school and accepted its offer. But WRM needs to get its admission process corrected. We don't think it is right to take money and then never respond with an answer.

From day one, we have been treated like family, not just another number. The staff, teachers, and leadership genuinely care about each student's academic growth, character development, and spiritual foundation. They take the time to know the students personally and partner with parents every step of the way. The sense of community here is unmatched. The values being taught align with what we reinforce at home, and the love, encouragement, and structure my daughter receives have helped shape her into a confident, respectful, and well-rounded young lady. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication, faith, and consistency this school provides. If you're looking for a nurturing, Christ-centered environment where your child is truly supported and valued, I cannot recommend this school enough.

I cannot wait to see what our high school year brings! The academics is beyond amazing, the entire staff cares as if the students are their own kids! My baby feels safe, we as a family feel safe when our baby is at school. The campus is beyond secure, everyone knows everybody. I am not sure how they do it, but it is done. We love our FBA family!

Amberton University is, in my opinion, a fantastic school to complete your undergraduate or…read moregraduate degree. I myself completed my MBA in Strategic Leadership and also earned a post-graduate certificate in Change Management. I was a traditional undergraduate student for about two and a half years after high school until my scholarships ran out. I went to work, intending to go back and finish my bachelor's degree, but did not do so for nearly ten years. In all I attended a community college, a huge state university, then finished my undergrad degree at a small state university taking night classes after work. I therefore had an opportunity to see how traditional trappings of college worked at three different brick and mortar schools. My full time job requires business travel, and therefore a traditional college evening or weekend class structure would have never worked for my MBA. Interestingly enough, the various in-state universities were all steering me into their online programs. Therefore, online degrees do not have the stigma that they had even ten years ago, as long as they also have a brick and mortar program as well. My state has particularly high tuition rates compared to many other states universities. Since I would be completing my degree online there was little reason to take my classes at an in-state program other than name recognition. The whole "branding" of universities, outside those of ivy league, is ridiculous. Far more important was the return on the investment. Attending an in-state university program online would have cost me between $69K - well over $100K. How many years would it take to pay that off? In my case Amberton's regionally accredited program was under $20K. Checking the quality of their online program it is rated for value in the top 10. Overall quality of the program was in the middle of all universities, in close rating to some of the schools I considered. These ratings met my needs. Regarding the effort - I liked that the books were often available either online or used. You do not have to use the school's bookstore. I rented most of mine, which saved me a lot of money. Be prepared to write. Be prepared to put in 10 -12 hours a week for each class you take. I typically took two classes a term. One term I took three classes, which in retrospect was nuts. You will need to spend more time during the mid-term week and towards the end of the term. You will be given requirements for papers. Many times they may say "write a paper of at least 3 pages that covers the following". Unless your Prof tells you "do not exceed 4.5 pages" or whatever, consider that a minimum requirement for a C grade. Writing more in depth will earn you a better grade. You also have to participate online. Read the requirements and do not short-change those. Contribute online making sure that you proof-read your submission thoroughly. I strongly recommend this institution for adults returning to finish an undergraduate degree or masters degree. It does not have the trappings of a huge state university, which I did not feel the need to have bundled into my tuition. I was there to learn, and felt it was a great value. You do, though get out of this program what effort you put into it.

My experience with Amberton University has been very strong. I did extensive research before I…read moredecided on a master's program at this school. There were a few aspects of the university that made me decide to go with their program. Top of the list was excellent reviews by current and former students. Next, I wanted a program that would be extremely challenging, as I wanted a high quality education from a regionally accredited university. Last, I needed flexibility within my work schedule to be able to do my writing and research when I wanted. For me, Amberton fit all of these requirements. I am about halfway through my MS Human Resources, and I have been extremely pleased with the professors, and the education I have received. My GPA is high, but I have worked very hard for it. This school is not for the faint of heart, so be prepared to dedicate a lot of time to your class on reading and writing papers. Also, you must receive a 92% to achieve an A grade, 82% for a B, etc., and during undergrad I was on the standard scale of 90-100% being an A. The only reason I did not give Amberton five stars is due to their current online interface. Although they have made large strides in the past year to upgrade the online experience, there is minimal use of multimedia and interactive resources. Being a smaller school, I understand it takes a large budget to get there, but in my opinion this is the one area their programs are currently lacking. Once they fill this gap, it will be a five star experience. All in all, the education I have received has been extremely valuable, as I can apply it in real-time at my current position. I recommend this program to anyone who is serious about their academics, and wants to use their degree to succeed in the future. I'm very confident my degree will enhance my ability to be promoted in the future.
