What Are Parents Saying?
"WMS teachers and staff are incredible. They took the time to know our child as an individual and worked with our family to create the optimal learning environment for him at home and school. They've created a beautiful community of students, parents and teachers who work together. The methods of a Montessori program are wonderful on their own, but at WMS they function at the highest level."

"We've loved watching her learn by curiosity and community. The school community is kind and open, and her academics are challenging and creative. I've loved that she has a solid, consistent group of neat peers and caring teachers where she feels totally at home. She loves school there. My favorite & most representative memory is that when we visited to check out the primary room, she immediately sat down with Mrs Wilson and did puzzles and other activities with such focus and peace. As we left, she told us, "I want to go to school there." And she was right, we've loved it!"

The educational approach we use was pioneered by Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician who, through careful observation and extensive research, concluded that every young child possesses a naturally curious and absorbent mind. Allowing young students some latitude in exploring subjects of interest to them resulted in a far greater motivation for learning, Dr. Montessori discovered.
