Private Schools

I love this school its very good and your child would love it there

If you are looking for a Spirit-filled bible-based education,look no further. The Lord is present everyday school opens.

It's a good school.

Both of our children have been at MSS for 5 years so far and I can’t imagine a better learning environment for them. The Montessori philosophy of child-lead learning in multi-age classrooms, paired with the school’s focus on peace and inclusiveness, allows for a truly remarkable educational experience. Our children are not just learning factual knowledge and how to be independent thinkers, but also how to be good friends and good citizens of the world. We are extremely grateful for the multitude of non-academic experiences that are offered such as 45 minutes of daily recess, trips to Land Lab, and lessons on grace and courtesy. Lastly, we are thankful to be part of a community of like-minded families and so greatly value the friendships we have created.

Montessori Discovery School was the perfect environment for our son. We watched him excel socially, emotionally, and academically with the help of all of the truly caring teachers. The communication between parent and teachers was excellent. Our son was reading two grades above his level and not only gained confidence academically but also was always encouraged by his teachers to challenge him at his appropriate level. We fully recommend this school in every aspect for anyone looking to find a fun, loving, caring enviroment for their children.

very nice teachers my kids learned a lot

I'm writing this review as of one of the only three on here written by actual students, rather than parents. The school will come off as an honest catholic school but it has many problems. The school is entirely focused on sports to the point punishments will be more severe for those who don't have an important position on a team. Many students would also have grades swept under so they could continue to play. The coach here is racist, I know this first hand. There is a deep underlying drug problem at the school as well. If you do not have money it will make fitting in difficult. The education was mediocre here at best. After transferring to a public school I was a year behind in courses while at Spa Catholic I was in grade level courses or above. I also completed three Suny level courses at the public school I switched to that were not offered at Spa Catholic. I was suspended for two weeks for something I never did. They made a decision based on accusations with no proof what so ever. During this time they would no contact my parents or me back with updates or how long my suspension would be. They also would not give me my work when requested. The one who accused me later came to admit his guilt but had a much shorter suspension than me, however played on the varsity basketball team. At the end of it they did not add my suspension to my record because they knew they made a mistake. This will be a 8,000 dollar a year mistake. I'll be attending Suny Binghamton next year. If I had stayed at this school I would have not gotten into Binghamton.

My children have both thrived and became confident, creative, respectful teens!
