International Academy Montessori

My children have attended this school since 2007. I have seven children and all of them have attended this school. The staff is loving and very knowledgeable. Your children will be gifted children once they move on from this school. I highly recommend this school. This school is so well rounded in all areas. You will not find a better institution.nLove,nThe Poonpiset Family

This school is a joke, to start the lunch portions consist of 2 nuggets and maybe 6-8 French fries. My son was coming home everyday saying he was hungry and wasn't getting to eat much lunch. So I started sending him with lunch from home. Then after about a week or so he started coming home with his snack which would be a yogurt and an apple or orange and saying that the teacher wouldn't let him eat it, which I thought was strange considering what they were (healthy snacks). So I called and spoke to the owner and she said she would talk to his teacher. Then it stopped for about a month, and then it went right back to the way it was, so I called again and got the same response that she the owner would speak with his teacher. Then the other day my child came home with his whole lunch, not one bit of it was eaten, I asked him why he didn't eat his lunch and he said the teacher wouldn't let him eat. I'm not sure if his teacher has kids or even knows how to take care of a child but I can guarantee you that she won't have to worry about taking care of my child any longer because I have taken him out of that school. This place should be SHUT DOWN, with holding food from a child should be against the law if it's not. If I send my child something that I have made from home then they have no right to tell him that he cannot have it. I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone, I would advise anyone looking for a good pre-k program to look elsewhere.

The owner is very loving to the children. She loves them like they are her own.

I have personally worked here and I wish I never left. Mrs. Shokoohi loves the children that walk through every morning & she is there for them with open arms. I enjoyed working for her and her husband! If you want a school ran by someone that will love your child as much as you love them, bring them to International Academy. While working at this school, I learned so much: different techniques on how to handle a classroom, handling children, and many other things. 10/10 recommend putting your child here.

New director, new name, new and old returning teachers!! The director and several teachers are transplants from Ashford Academy that had to close down as the owner was getting up in years and decided it was time to exit the childcare business.nnWe followed the director and my sons teacher to this school knowing he would be well cared for. Mrs. Azar continues to teach my son all the important academic things but she also manages to teach him things emotionally which is why we put him in Montessori in the first place.nnI was heartbroken when Ashford shut down but I am ecstatic that they were able to reopen as a new school (somewhat remodeled) in a new location. Now my son can continue his education uninterrupted.
