This school is a God sent....my daughter graduated from there a couple of years a go and is now in her 2nd year of high school getting a 4.0 GPA. I love the staff/instructors at BMMA. They are professional, experienced, patient, and very engaging. I only have praise for the school. My daughter was going to a regular public school when my neighbor told us about a new Montessori school opening near us. Thinking it would be private and expensive we were glad to hear that it's free cause it's a charter school funded by our own school system. Their way of teachings are different from public schools. They let our kids flourish to their full potential with support and guidance. I was not impressed when my daughter was coming home with 15 page homework in 1st grade when she was in regular public school. 1st thing I noticed when she started going to this school(BMMA) was that she wasn't bringing home tons of homework if there was any at all. They do all their homework in class!
This is a great school to send your kids to. My older child has been going there since she was in 1st grade and my son has been there since preK. She is now in her 2nd year of high school at a different school and getting a 4.0 GPA. BMMA has prep my daughter to be successful/confident in high school. The staff and instructors are amazing. What I love about the school is that all the instructors are doing what they are supposed to IN SCHOOL! I barely see my kids have homework because they do all their schoolwork in school. My boy is testing at above 80th % in all his school curriculum. Throughout the pandemic...all the staffs are very supportive of each scholars individual needs because they want all our children to be successful
My son attended Bella Mente until he was promoted to high school. The school has a garden program that is fantastic, kids really learn the food cycle and tend the garden as well. My son's favorite thing was the nutrition lab where they prepared the harvested vegetable of the week. That was such a great experience for him, we couldn't find that in another school. I liked the small classes, the teachers, and the community events.
