"JMS is a superior Montessori School in an area that can serve many families.  Our experience with Montessori environments led us to choose JMS as a stand-out, step ahead and close knit home for our children."

"We love the people whom our family have come to call friends.  There is always another person to reach out to for support in the Montessori journey.  You are surrounded by people who believe in the power and promise of a Montessori education." - Heather and William Bonacorda, parents of JMS graduates Blake and Sophia Bonacorda.

  ---------------------------------------------

"We chose JMS because we wanted our children to be able to excel in school and not be held back by a pre-determined schedule set for all the kids in the classroom.  When we were looking at schools we asked one simple question, "If my child has mastered what is being taught, will he/she be able to learn past that point?"  The only school that answered "Yes" was JMS.  

"We love the open environment for learning and the independence our children have been given.  It just amazes us to see the growth in our kids.  We are very grateful to have found JMS." - Kelli and Paul McDonald, parents of Evan, Faith and Alex.

---------------------------------------------

"We chose JMS because after two years of researching and reading, we agreed with Dr. Maria Montessori's philosophies in the way that it is important for a child to learn how to learn first.  The sensorial methods used by JMS directors are very effective."

"We love that our daughter is receiving the best possible education in our area.  Also, we love the community of faculty, parents and children.  We like the fact that JMS focuses on morality & manners in the classroom." - Jennie & Mark Villegas, parents of Savannah and Violet

 "Aaron and I decided to send our children to Joliet Montessori School because of Aaron's positive experience as a student at the school from preschool thru his 3rd year in the Elementary Program.  The addition of the Adolescent Program since Aaron's time as a student was another draw to enroll our children at JMS.  We felt like the opportunity for our children to experience a Montessori education from the Primary through Adolescent Program was such a unique opportunity that should not be missed.

The thing we love the most about Joliet Montessori School is the intimate knowledge the Guides have on each of our children's personalities to maximize their learning potential.  The fact that each classroom is structured with individual lesson plans as oppose to a conventional classroom environment is another strong reason why we enroll our children at JMS each year.  This type of classroom setting allows them to excel in their strengths and have the appropriate time to improve their weaknesses." - Aaron & Eileen Kozlowski, parents of Aidan, Moira & Grania

"I love the fact that my children are learning at an accelerated pace.  I love that before first grade my children are learning to read and also write cursive.  They are able to work at their own pace and are encouraged to excel in all areas of the classroom.  They are being taught independence and individuality, self-motivation and confidence." - Ali & Chris VanderTuuk, parents of Ryan, Justin & Alexis

 ---------------------------------------------

"I wanted my child to have an educational experience that not only provided for personal and educational growth, but also fostered a love of learning and a respect for all people.  The love of learning has stayed with my child and is one of the first things her instructors mention us about her. "

"It has been the greatest gift we have given her."  - Alumni parent and current board member Pete Nielsen

"We are so happy we found Joliet Montessori School.  We love the quality of the program.  The teachers are exceptional and dedicated to the students."  - Parent of three current students and one graduate

 "I love Joliet Montessori School because I feel like each of my children is understood and treasured for exactly who they are.  They are able to develop in a meaningful and dynamic educational environment at exactly the pace that they each learn best.  And I love the fact that they work with children of different ages, stages, and backgrounds so that they can experience real mentoring, leadership, and camaraderie every day."  - Parent of three current students and two graduates
