” Our child has been attending the Casa program for two years. We have great things to say about the school, its teachers and the small community it has built. Our child has flourished here and grown into a confident and kind kid with a love of learning. It is a small school that doesn’t have the bells and whistles of a pricier private school. But what it lacks in flash it makes up for in heart. The teachers love what they do and are laser-focused on meeting each kid where they are at, a core value of Montessori teaching. We are continuing with the program into the Elementary 1 classroom. I’m just so excited to see what my kid is going to learn next year. “

” My son went here from kindergarten (Casa) to grade 8. Met many friends. Enjoyed all the teachers and received a great education. I would suggest this location for anyone. “

” A fantastic alternative to public schools. Great teachers, small class sizes, Montessori style that integrates their nature and neighborhood into their curriculum. Worth every penny. “

” Best school in the area. Teachers are great, caring. The school is small so there is lots of one on one. Many children really excel in this environment. I recommend it to everyone I know. “
