Montessori School of Denver

My 2 year old is in the toddler program at MSD. I couldn’t be happier with her progress since starting here last summer. I’ve visited many preschools in the greater Denver area and none compare to MSD. They have well-​educated staff/​teachers, amazing facilities & the teacher to child ratio is low. The parents are very involved with the school & have been a joy to get to know.
I was blown away during my initial tour of the school and couldn’t believe what the little kids were learning & how confident the older kids were in discussing what they were working on.
I didn’t think twice about choosing MSD, even though it’s a long commute for us.
Take a tour & see for yourself…

MSD is a great school. My son has been here for 3 years now, one in primary and the last two in Lower El (1 – 2 grades). I have found the staff to be very knowledgeable, dedicated, compassionate and enthusiastic. The culture of the school is very warm and positive. I love that there are several male teachers that provide positive role models for my son and amazing specials teachers as well as high quality enrichment programs. My son is performing at or above grade level in all subjects and loves school which makes me a happy mom– he is learning to learn, not for a test.

Horrible School. Worst use of our money ever!
It’s very cliquy. The parent group does’t accept «outsiders.» So, if you aren’t of their «class» neither your child nor you will ever be accepted.
The teachers are okay, but don’t really listen to you or address your concerns. We told our daughter’s teacher several times that we felt she was behind where she should be. She insisted our daughter would be fine. The administration, although they may listen, don’t care about you unless you are one of the rich snobs, that can give them more money.
I and others I know, found out when we left MSD that kids were way behind their peers. Our kids struggled because they had neither the knowledge, not the skills to succeed. My daughter was considered a whole grade below where she should have been. But, MSD thought she was «doing just fine.»
Don’t go there, it’s a big waste of your money. There are far better schools in the Denver area and they don’t cost half as much!
