Alum: The student body and community of parents are wonderful. The teachers are caring and supportive of individual students. The curriculum is focused on the development of my whole child, their character and academic success. Its alumni go on to be successful in every profession as adults with integrity and compassion for others. Lawyers, doctors, veterinarians, artists, teachers, entrepreneurs, and engineers, I know one of each of these from friends that graduated from SM. My kids love it here, and as an alum I am so grateful I was able to move back and send them to such a great place!... Read 6 reviews

Parent: Wonderful Montessori school in the heart of the Leelanau peninsula. Our family only has experience with the primary environment thus far, but the teachers are excellent, committed to Montessori philosophy and practice, and pay attention to and care for each student. The primary classroom environment is lovely, and we are happy to send our children there on a daily basis.... Read 1 review

Junior: I love my experience here at Suttons Bay! The teachers are amazing and extremely helpful! The student body is diverse and welcoming. My exchange student made a group of friends fast and they have been so kind to her, I’m sure she is loving it. I was also able to find my group that I stick with quickly and they are amazing. This school provides a solid education for its small size and low budget. The sports programs are also really fun and supportive. Although there is definitely some areas to improve there, such as even budgeting but I know that’s difficult so considering that, they still do pretty good. The school itself is kept nice and clean which is good. I can’t speak for the food since I bring my own lunch, but the reviews from my friends have been pretty good. I have absolutely no concerns over the safety of me and my peers. This school is amazing for the area, I would definitely recommend going here!... Read 20 reviews

Parent: This school teaches children to love to learn and teaches children how to find the answers to problems without memorizing the answers. The Pathfinder School's graduating class consistently enters high school at the top of their class. This school has given my children the foundation that is going to carry them through high school and college. I can't say enough good things about this school. It is a tuition based school but this is truly a gift we give our children for life-long learning and success.... Read 5 reviews
