Unearthing Potential
My 12 year old daughter has been attending Imani Montessori since August 2019 and to say she is thriving is an understatement. Imani Montessori took my child who had been homeschooled for the last 7 years and fine tuned all that we have been nurturing in her since she started schooling.
She has gone from a somewhat quiet, shy and a bit lacking in academic confidence adolescent to a bold, inquisitive, daring and enthusiastic learner. Since her time at Imani Montessori she has become more focused, more ambitious, more introspective and more comfortable with the truth of who and what she is.
In preparation for the possibility of a lapse in attendance, Imani Montessori loaded multiple assignments on my daughters school laptop so she could continue to learn throughout the break. On Monday we resumed schooling from home using a schedule similar to what she is accustomed to at Imani, and I am highly impressed by how self directed, present and just overall easy and on task she has been over the last several days.
Imani Montessori has nurtured her with love and kindness while simultaneously affirming her and challenging her to be her best self. I can not speak enough about how much she has grown and continues to thrive as a result of her time there and I highly recommend participating in whatever programming is available through them.

Finding Home
I am so fortunate to have found not only a Montessori environment but one that is family centric. The academic experience for my 2 girls, currently 2nd and 3rd grade has been very rewarding. I am lucky since I have not had a bad experience to date with my children in their previous school, however 2020 presented many challenges that forced our household to make decisions that would be best for us. And we could not be happier. Mrs. Gross and her team are attentive, creative, encouraging and perceptive to each individual student in a way that would not have happened unless I homeschooled them myself. I am excited to see where the journey takes them.

Exceeding Expectations
I cannot recommend the Imani Montessori School highly enough. The school's commitment to individualized learning and cultural diversity has made a huge impact on my children’s education. Mrs. Gross is warm and compassionate, and she is genuinely invested in each child's success. The Montessori approach to education has allowed our children to develop self-discipline, independence, and a love of learning. Additionally, the school community is welcoming and inclusive, and our children have developed meaningful friendships with children from a variety of backgrounds. Overall, the Imani Montessori School has exceeded my expectations, and I feel confident that our children are receiving an exceptional education.

Discovering Joy
“In a previous Montessori environment, my daughter experienced bullying and harassment from her classmates and negligence, on the part of her instructor. Imani Montessori came along when my daughter was transitioning to middle school and needed to rediscover her joy of learning. Mrs. Gross offered a breath of life to her!
She provides individualized support to each student that proves to be invaluable everyday. Here at Imani Montessori, my daughter has community & family. She has opportunities to cultivate her educational experiences. Together, we have a vested interest to see my daughter thrive. She loves it here!”
