North Shore Montessori has filled in the gap for educational choices in the north shore area. Not that there is anything wrong with the highly recommended public schools in the area, but the Montessori approach is vastly different than anything else. I have done my research. I have toured and tried other schools. There is no one, utopian school. Everyplace will have something that as parent, you may wish was included but isn't. This school fills as many of those ideals we hoped for in a school. My children have been allowed the time and space to develop at their own pace. Through careful observation, their teacher has guided them into building upon skills developmentally. They have been given the gift of personal responsibility through classroom expectations, class chores, personal input on event and school related projects, and countless other opportunities during the day. Also, it may not seem valuable to some, but the children are allowed and encouraged ample time outdoors in all kinds of weather for free play, nature walks and excursions. The play space allows safe opportunities for children to run, play, climb, invent, make believe, hike, etc. Managing a group of multi-aged children can be challenging, but at school my children learn not just about getting the work done, but also helping others. Class meetings are held regularly and follow a format that allows children to work through difficult issues or bring up questions that need addressing. Touring a Montessori classroom may look so foreign to some that they may wonder if it works? When a few children are conducting science experiments based on a previous lesson, and a few more children are working with math materials to solve a problem, a group is working next to the Spanish teacher who is simply, but effectively, immersing them with Spanish everyday, and several more children are working together to research a topic, or challenging each other with spelling or geographical facts; it is apparent that something is working. Some children naturally fit right into the methods in a Montessori classroom and some take a bit to warm up to the freedom and choice. Freedom does not mean" free for all," but for a child accustom to being directed in all their activities, it takes a bit of practice to master appropriate choice making. Overall, these children are learning how to function in a greater society. They will leave school more prepared to do what is expected of them at school, at work and at home because they have been given to time to practice those skills along the way. Children are given the space to experiment with their own ideas, not simply completing someone else's ideas. Academically, they have built on skills in an organic, often fun way, that leaves them not only with a greater understanding but also the eagerness to move forward and continue building. My children are truly sad when they miss school. They wish they could attend through college.

My kids been there for 4 years and let me tell you something. is never like it use to be wgen they first year!

Wonderful K4 program. Staff is kind.

We put our 22 month son in the Toddler room which he absolutely loved from day one. After his very first visit he came out and hugged me so hard his little muscles were shaking because he liked it sooooo much. I was looking at alternative schools in the north shore because of a biting situation at his former school and looked no further. The New World Montessori director was genuinely confused about biting in preschool as it had never been a problem there in all her years. She explained how the method is so gentle and the kids are too occupied by their little projects to be concerned with it. My son felt safe from day one and ends each day by saying, "I had fun in school." Now, a year later, he has transitioned to a Primary room and loves his new teachers just as much as his Toddler classroom. He is engaged and is thriving. The classrooms have a international level of diversity which means he doesn't have to feel or look different--they all do! I just love this community of talented educators, engaded students and dedicated families. We are a community growing together.

As a 3rd generation Whitefish Bay resident, our family has seen more outstanding students from Holy Family than from any other local school. The culture, the teachers and families combine to provide a supportive, creative environment for students to achieve amazing things.

5 of my kids have gone here and we've had a positive experience. Now they're currently transitioning to Seton schools. I don't know if this will be a positive thing.
