Research Bowie Montessori Childrens House private Schools in Washington, District of Columbia

“Both my children have attended BMCH for at least three years in the primary program with different teachers. Generally speaking, it APPEARS that the Montessori Philosophy is being appropriately implemented at BMCH. I say it 'APPEARS' to be implemented because during the three + years we have never been allowed in a classroom during the school day, been given any information about curriculum, or had a clear and comprehensive discussion about my children's progress. The administration is run like a dictatorship and communication with parents has always been condescending and minimal. The teachers are micromanaged by the administration and I never feel like I am having an open and honest discussion. Students come and go for different reasons but one common thread is parent dissatisfaction with communication between school and families and the lack of tolerance for children that do not immediately fit some predetermined profile.”

“For a Montessori school, this one is big, which was a little overwhelming for me at first. However, after a year, I have been very pleased with my 3 yr. olds progress in the program. This school has a very diverse , international population, both students and teachers. The campus is set in the woods on 22 gorgeous wooded acres.”

“My children have attended this school since they were three. The teachers are great and the private campus atmosphere is wonderful. The kids really get the attention that they need.”
