Centennial opened an elementary school two years ago, and our daughter has attended since the beginning. She will be entering third grade this year, and our son will be in first grade. Both kids started at centennial when they were 2 years old. We have been thoroughly impressed with the school for 6 years now. Our kids are delighted with learning and while the school has no homework, there are many evenings when the kids will take to tasks such as measuring the perimeter of household objects and asking for math problems. The teachers and administrators are always helpful and open the feedback and questions. We could not be more pleased with the education they are receiving.

The first thing we noticed was the overall sense of community at this school. Unlike other schools we visited and even the Montessori our children were in back East, Centennial is a true community. On the first parent-teacher meet and greet night, we experienced parents greeting each other by first name, asking how their children were by the children's names. As is typical in Montessori, the classes are small and students carefully hand selected to ensure balance. We found the intentional diversity between male-female, ethnic, and personality to be a very positive thing. The school is small, which we actually enjoy. Our children receive more focused attention than they would at day care, or other preschools. The teachers are unquestionably dedicated to the health, safety, well being, and education of each and every student. Centennial isn't just a school which provides a truly well rounded, holistic education. It's a community. We're delighted that our children attend Centennial Montessori and only wish that more schools were like Centennial.
