Research Dallas Montessori Academy private Schools in Dallas, Texas

“My son goes there and I love it. We went another montessori school before this one and I was shocked to see how much my son had not learned. DMA has helped us get him up to speed and now he will be going into the 3rd grade with his peers. I am also very pleased with the cost of the school I was paying close to a 1000.00 a month for school and now I am not and I know my son is in a caring enviroment that allows hi to be himself. I plan to keep him there as long as I can.”

“I absolutely love this school! My daughter loves it as well. Her teacher genuinely cares for the children. This is our first year there, but looking forward to many more years.”

“By Montessori standards, my upper elementary student (6th grade) was truly at a loss this year at Dallas Montessori. We were new transfers from Florida and our daughter had attended 4 prior Montessori schools in Georgia and Florida. It was obvious that other parents did not have this kind of foresight in knowing what to expect from a Montessori school, whereby method and philosophy emphasize respect for the individual child, the nurtured development of an independent self-motivated child who is driven to learn as a means of discovering himself and the world around him. My daughter mass produced endless quantities of worksheets out of fear for the repercussions, reprimands, and spontaneous outbursts by her teacher. Class size and student teacher ration were a serious concern to me. At nearly $6,000 dollars a year for tuition, class size was over 30 to one teacher.”

“Fair school. Teachers could have a bit more education,but are friendly. Concerned about the curriculum.”

“As a former student of this institution, I know what the fears of the realistic students are (well, as realistic as you can be in middle school, anyway). The school administration really does enjoy bashing public school (at the time when most experts agree one should leave Montessori schools, I believed the phrase 'public school' was dirty), and as someone who now attends public school (my SAT scores were higher than friends at the city's top private schools), I think this distortion is only part of the way the administration manipulates the students. Yes, they boast about advanced coursework, but they didn't transfer any of my credits, so I had to sit through the same courses in high school. Limited resources here, also.”

“My grand-daughter attended this school for three years. The first two years were great, she had a nurturing teacher who cared for ALL the children. However, this changed. The teachers that my grandchild had were almost abusive, the teacher would stand them in front of the class and make fun of them (their hair, called them silly in a degrading way), and the coach wasn't caring or sympathetic towards her health ailments. The principal would take the side of the teachers whenever we would have concerns, and did not address the concerns at all. This is a very uncaring school. Oh, by the way, my grand daughter is an 'A' student.”

“Dallas Montessori is a wonderful school that nurtures the total child. The teachers are kind, caring and intelligent. The environment teaches the children respect for each other and the greater community. The extracurricular activities include piano, science clubs, etc., and are an additional expense. The outdoor play area is designed like a playground. The parent involvement is good which supplements the childrens' field trips, library, etc. If expansion was possible it would be nice to have a gym, lunch room, art and music class as it would make the school by far the best elementary school ever. Overall when you combine scores, teacher quality and love and care it is the number one choice.”
