South Maui Montessori

I have two children who attend South Maui Montessori school. When is in first grade and enter the school last year. During his first month of school maybe three weeks in, he said to me “mom, I like School better than I thought“nI think that’s what every parent wants to hear. I was so happy that we found a school he likes going to every day. He loves doing cursive, and multiplication tables, neither of which he would be learning at this age in a public school.nnMy other son is in fourth grade, and has been going to the school since first grade. What I noticed both when he entered first and when he entered the upper classroom and fourth is a huge jump in self-discipline, responsibility, and getting work done.nnMy other son is in fourth grade, and has been going to the school since first grade. When I noticed both when he entered first and when he entered the upper classroom and fourth is a huge jump in self-discipline, responsibility, and getting work done. It’s amazing to see him come right home from school and complete his homework right away. Then in the morning he gets up and pretty promptly finishes his chores. I’m really grateful that the school not only teaches academics, but really contributes to shaping well-rounded people who take responsibility and pride in their work.

We are so happy to choose this school for our 3 yo. In just a few months we are absolutely blown away how much more independent he became. He is excited about going to school every day. Such a warm community! Teachers and staff are very friendly!

The kids have a wonderful day ... the peaceful campus, the garden, the ability to have outdoor classes often, snorkeling and even getting scuba- certified (how great for an 11yr old)!nThe materials kids use are both timeless and modern , the teachers and staff are devoted. Kids learn to pursue their passions, while managing their time and learning basics like real-life skills, organization, and becoming creative and positive people.

My 3 year old son loves his school. He’s been in daycare since he was 9 months old and drop offs have always been so hard. Since starting at Montessori drop offs are easy. He runs to show me how fast he can go on the monkey bars. When he gets home, he sings to me while he shows me all the hand movements that go along with the songs. He tells me about the puzzles he put together that day. He has gymnastics at the school every Wednesday through Maui Tumblers and asks me if he can go again and again and again. My boyfriends son just started here as well. Hearing what the teachers have to say about their days and how invested they are during/for their transition... it’s been such a great family experience. I am so pleased to have our boys here!

My daughter loves this school. She has grown so much and enjoys going to school everyday. The gardening and music programs really stand out. We can see all the skills she is learning translate to her independence at home.
