JMS shows how all schools should be. The atmosphere when you walk in is relaxed and welcoming. The classrooms are custom to the age range of the children to make it feel like it’s their room. The staff is open and friendly answering any and all questions no matter who it is.

The best thing about Montessori is building a love of learning. I’ve seen my daughter grow so much in her years at JMS and seeing her imagination and knowledge base grow. She often makes me stop in amazement of her critical thinking and understanding of complex issues even at a young age. JMS is definitely the place for a wonderful education.

The joy we've received watching our daughter's strengths being nurtured (and broadened) is immense. We're glad we invested in a community that wants her to succeed...and she enjoys succeeding in!

We've been part of the JMS community for almost seven years and have found a community for our entire family, not only a fantastic educational environment for our boys. They love going to school every day and have both excelled in their academics above and beyond their peers in traditional school.

We have been a JMS family for over 12 years and, as the resident skeptic when we first arrived there, I cannot recommend JMS and Montessori education enough. I have a straight-A sophomore in an acclaimed public high school AP and honors program as evidence of the phenomenal foundation that JMS provides. I have 2 thoughtful, curious and self-confident grade-schoolers to confirm that the school continues to grow and improve with each passing year. JMS provides the education that our children OUGHT to get.

[My son] loves his teachers and friends and squeals when we drive by his school. It’s so amazing to see how much our very shy boy has grown during his time at JMS – socially, emotionally, academically and, my goodness, is he empathetic to others and passionate about the environment and all living things. And I, myself, can’t say enough about the director, teachers, staff and the school itself. They are all truly exceptional!  JMS has been a blessing to our family! I would encourage anyone on the fence about Montessori to give it a shot, especially at JMS!

JMS' innovative ways of teaching my child have over exceeded my expectations on her ability to adapt and learn very quickly on various subjects and how to be a proper member of our society. They eliminate boundaries of learning by allowing my child to achieve pennants that fit her interest and in the end becoming a subject matter expert to a point that she was able to deliver a keynote in-front of unfamiliar crowds.  Most importantly JMS has created a family oriented environment which has allowed both students and parents to build a special bond as we grow together on our journey through JMS. Hats off to the wonderful Faculty and Staff for a JOB WELL DONE. And THANK YOU.

No educational environment could ever come close to providing my daughter the confidence to learn in the same way JMS has! We came to JMS for the traditional approach to  Montessori after reviewing many local preschools, but we stay for the sense of community, nurturing environment that has given our daughter so much confidence to learn, and absolutely amazing staff.  

I couldn’t imagine a better experience for our daughter as she starts in her educational journey than what we have experienced at JMS. Watching her grow and become a articulate and confident little learner has been so special. 

My daughter started her educational journey at 18 months in the parent toddler program at JMS and is now in her second year in the 3-6 year old primary classroom. Watching her grow and develop at each stage has been amazing over the last three years.
