We love Bridgeview Montessori for so many reasons. Bridgeview develops the whole child. They allow the child to explore and create. Guiding the child, but not dictating the outcome. Children are allowed to find the conclusion. This creates self confidence, self awareness, collaboration and negotiating skills plus outstanding academic achievements.

Bridgeview Montessori School is a wonderful school. My children have attended Bridgeview since pre-school and are now attending first and second grade there. The kids LOVE going to school each day. The teachers and staff are very caring and nurturing. The academic curriculum which consists of interactive and hands on lessons has given my children a true love of learning. There is can exciting enrichment program at Bridgeview which consists of art studio, art history, music, drama, yoga, fitness, and Spanish. And the strong focus on respect and peace create a sense of community where the children feel welcomed and important. The education my children receive at Bridgeview is unmatched. We feel so lucky that our children have the opportunity to attend Bridgeview.

We are so happy that we found Bridgeview Montessori for our child. Prior to attending preschool there our child was at home full time, so we were anxious about how she would feel as she transitioned to school--it was wonderful. The staff made sure she--and more so we!--were comfortable prior to her first day, by walking us through the process. They were welcoming when we visited to learn more about the Montessori classroom, and our daughter's teachers always respond promptly to any questions we have. I appreciate the thoughtful approach the staff take to every part of the school day. Decisions are made and systems put in place with students' needs at the forefront. There is a focus on child development generally and each child's temperament, as well. Bridgeview lives the value of the whole child, with amazing staff passionate about creating art, art history, music, and Spanish language. I am grateful that our daughter has Bridgeview Montessori as her educational foundation.

I love this small school. The children are respected and encouraged, they feel safe, supported and free to be who they are. I love the small feel, the way that the teachers know the children extremely well and the awesome principal. The curriculum includes a lot of freedom for expression while not sacrificing rigor. Students learn art, art history, drama, music, spanish, fitness and yoga.
