Best School in Barrie area.

There are not enough wonderful things I can say about Barrie Montessori. My son has been attending this school since he was in JK, he's now in grade 4. The principal, Ms. Dawn Allen, is so incredibly passionate about her work and involvement with the school and her pure joy in the pursuit of creating a positive and safe learning environment for the children is evident every single day. Ms. Allen’s passion for our children and learning is infectious with every teacher I've ever encountered here. Every teacher in each grade has the most perfect set of skills, education, knowledge and experience required to work with each age group. Each approach is perfect. The teachers are also passionate and so full of patience and kindness for all the children. Ms. Smokler is the most amazing teacher for my son and is so incredibly talented in what she does, she is so kind and caring, and has inspired my son to really focus on his agenda and manage his time accordingly, he really enjoys being in her

I contacted Barrie Montessori school and I received a phone call back right away! The principal was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of my questions. After comparing other Montessori daycares, I am confident that Barrie Montessori is authentic in following the Montessori philosophy. Their classrooms offer a lot of natural light and are very spacious. The playground is huge and the gym is a great place to play when it is raining outside! As a parent of a child with a peanut allergy, I appreciate that the school does not allow outside food to come in. I look forward to many years of education at Barrie Montessori School!

Since the day we first visited Barrie Montessori & Elementary Private School and had a chance to learn about the program from Ms. Allen, there was never any question in our minds about where our children would attend school.  I can’t say enough good things about the entire staff (teachers and administration) at Barrie Montessori School. They are a wonderful group of educators who are passionate about the Montessori philosophy and dedicated to its approach of following the individual child. We see the results of this on a daily, weekly and yearly basis. Our children, as different as they might be, are happy, courteous, respectful and self-confident individuals who learn for the joy of learning. Our eldest daughter finished at BMS last year and transitioned into public school for her Grade 7 year. Her current teachers often comment on how our daughter approaches learning and easily sees the interconnectedness of subject areas. Her knowledge base is incredible, and she applies her knowledge to the world around her. She collaborates with her peers and takes pride in her work. We also observe our youngest daughter learning to do the same. I can honestly say that BMS prepares their students academically, socially and emotionally! We regularly receive complements on how polite, respectful and articulate our girls are when meeting new people. The programming and staff at BMS deserve much of the credit for instilling these traits in my daughters. My wife and I also appreciate the level of communication that we receive daily. In addition to being able to talk to the teachers at the end of the school day, we also always have access to administration. The “open door” policy that Ms. Allen offers, ensures that we always have our questions answered in a timely manner. For the past 9 years, Barrie Montessori School has consistently surpassed our expectations. Thank you, Barrie Montessori School! Now...how about a high school???

After speaking with Dawn, the school director and asking detailed questions with regards to my child’s needs, Dawn said she would send me a welcome package and I never received it. I phoned 3 days later to speak with her and she did not reply. I can’t help but feel that the reason she was ignoring me was due to the fact that my son is speech delayed and I had asked her about having an inclusion working if my son required one if he was attend Barrie Montessori. I am extremely frustrated by this experience. I found it biased and very unprofessional hat Dawn blatantly disregard my request for a welcome package and ignored my follow up phone call. Wow! Very disappointing!!!!!!!

Our 2 children have been attending BMS for the past 3 years. The most important thing to us, is how much they enjoy going to school every day. The teachers are fantastic, administration is great, and the before and after care and summer camp options are a terrific bonus. We have been very happy with this school.

The teachers are fabulous. The care is exceptional. The negative reviews do not reflect my experience at all. (My child has homemade food in her lunch.) My child has attended this school for 4 years and that is reflected in her academic achievements.
