This is a great school. The principal cares about all the students and knows them all by name. She is always there every day to receive them. The kids who attend this school go on to greatness!! Great curriculum. Every student does handwriting in every grade. The teachings is old school methods it is fascinating, My child attended this school for four years, and i have kept all his notes and projects for him to reflect on. This is one of the greatest teachings ever!. Heads up and congratulations to the principal of Ideal Montessori School. It has been a pleasure to be there.

Two of my children attended this school, from pre-k through 8th grade. I enjoyed their time there! The focus is on education! Both were totally prepared for specialized high school testing and got in, one to Brooklyn Tech, the other to Bard High School Early College. They have become remarkable young adults. My son graduated May 2015 from UAlbany and my daughter will graduate December 2015 from the same university.Thank you Ideal Montessori!

I have spent my whole life in Montessori. They have trained me since I was a baby to achieve greatness. Now i am in a specialized highschool. All because of my years in that school. So you can take my word for it.An alumni's word. Enroll your child. But as advice you should also enroll your students in an extra classes in their hobby. That is the only downfall of this school. The lack of extra classes besides cooking,singing,and computer.

My daughter attends this school and I am very pleased with her performance and with my decision to send her there. Her reading and math skills are beyond her grade level. The classes are small, the teachers and principal are very focused on the academic achievement of the students. Some reviews have complained about the strictness of the school, the fact that there is no after school program or have a gymnasium. If those things are more important for you as a parent then this school is not right for your son or daughter, however if academic excellence is more important I highly recommend this school. I am all for structure and discipline so I applaud the efforts of the principal and staff of Ideal Montessori.

I attend this school and the only thing i can say about it is --- BEAUTIFUL!Because the classes are small, children build amazing friendships and get the help they need. I am now in the best teacher's class - Mr. Somayya.This school brings forth only well-rounded and bright students.
