I probably enjoyed middle school cause of this school far more than during elementary. My favorite people in the early 2000s though was the librarian and an English teacher, Mrs. Ludes. The library was one of my favorite places to hang out. The teacher got hell from her students when she was the sweetest and smartest teacher I had met up to that point. She nurtured my love of literature. I wish other students had appreciated her.

I have been at the school for the last four years and have volunteered here a lot. I've been able…read moreto see the inner workings of the school inside the classroom and seeing the teachers in their element. The school was just accredited, meaning now 90% of their teachers have degrees , and if they don't, they are working on them. I have a child in middle school and I extremely shocked by the previous review. all the years I've been here I have never seen this school not handle serious situations appropriately. The school is a very good mixture of I believe, democrat and Republican families. Being a democratic family ourselves I have never received any mistreatment or harassment. I think it's important to hear that that from another perspective. I really love the school and would hate for it to get a bad rap because of somebody's bad experience or maybe just being a disgruntled parent. I have experienced this with my own business, when people are upset they say things that are not true out of anger. So I thought it would be good to come here and at least give my perspective.

Here is why I would not enroll my children here: 1) the…read moreschool subscribes to Christian Nationalism, DT, & CK teachings despite having students and teachers of varying racial backgrounds. Students who are not loud DT supporters are automatically labeled as democrats and told that they are "not Christian" and bullied. Bullies (& their families)who commit actual ASSAULT are protected by the leaders- even with police involvement. Maga-ville, USA. 2) Unqualified teaching staff. Many teachers are not credentialed nor have they even graduated from college. They are trained at the affiliated church's "bible college" and allowed to then teach your children! New unqualified teachers (one male specifically) is being harbored at this school despite complaints from parents that he is emotionally abusive to several male students and he also allows the female students to cheat on tests. Big red flag as a mother with a daughter. Ok? This teacher has CK quotes & pictures on his walls. Bible college students live right across the street in the green apartments-right next door to the school. That made me feel Uncomfortable. The church+the bible college+apartments+school= concerning levels of cult-like vibes. 3) Campus- no library, no gym, no green spaces, no cafeteria, no locker rooms. Sketchy stairway. Across from County Jail. Large electrical wires nearby. Underwhelming. 4)Money- be prepared to pay a LOT of $$ constantly. We put down very large non-refundable deposits and then the school Changed their requirements for parent volunteering- with threats of fines for non-compliance. Lunches- we were promised handmade/homemade meals from a school parent but received expensive, mediocre, unhealthy cafeteria food. "Retreat"- you will be charged for a retreat and we were told it would be camping at Forest Home but it was sleeping on the floor in the classroom. Weird & gross. If your kid forgets their P.E. Uniform- you will Be charged $$. Lots of extra charges! Sports, teacher wishlist, fundraisers, etc etc etc. They will nickel & dime you at every juncture. Bottom line- you are better off in public school. You get a better education from credentialed teachers, better campuses/opportunities, there is better accountability for teachers & staff and it's "free". This school is mentally, emotionally, socially and physically unhealthy for kids. This is OUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. I would not recommend attending here- absolutely no.

The value of the education my child receives at Montessori is incalculable. Her behavior on days…read morethat she attends school is dramatically different than on the days that she stays home. We are in awe of the complex high level thinking tasks that your team teaches her to do. We are so grateful to all of her teachers, their patience and high expectations lead her to excel in so many aspects of her development. They teach my child to be independent One time when I was in visiting Ms. L's room I saw her show toddlers how to use a hammer and nails. It blew my mind how she made such a potentially dangerous task, become simple, clear and safe for the toddlers to achieve. We are constantly impressed with all of the team of wonderful human beings that run this school. We are so lucky to be a part of Montessori. Concerning their Day Care, the director of Day Care is phenomenal. She knows every child, every parent schedule, every parents car and every grandparent. We leave our children in your care with complete peace of mind that they are cared for, loved and challenged to be better people.

I would like to provide an update of my review from several months ago…read more While our initial experience with the Montessori School of Ojai's administrative staff was frustrating and lacked professionalism, once they were made aware of our experience they made swift action to correct the situation. Not only that, but our son (~1 1/2) absolutely loves the program. We were initially skeptical that our son would take to it because he was very attached to us--his mom in particular--and would cry whenever she walked out of the room (how is he going to handle being dropped off at school for several hours?). But, the vast majority of the time (including the first day) he is excited to be there. (Special thanks to Coral and Alex!) As a parent, when you leave your kid in the care of others, you want to feel (and know to the best of your ability) that they are in as good if not better care than if they were with you. My wife and I both feel this way about MSO, and for that, I highly recommend this institution.
