Rating 4.52 out of 5 27 reviews
I was a student at Post Oak for 10+ years and I personally value my experience. At the primary and elementary levels the school has all the Montessori essentials such as the Five Great Lessons, materials for hands-on learning, as well as guidance and availability from teachers during open-work time. Meanwhile, Post Oak took more liberties in designing its program at the adolescent level. It seems to be more humanities heavy, so if you are looking to focus more on the sciences it might not be the best choice. There are many other opportunities though, like the numerous trips and internships. The cost is included in tuition and the experiences look great on resumes. Post Oak also teaches a lot of soft skills, for example, one of the most valuable skills I gained was how to engage in seminars and develop my own voice. The teachers are very supportive and create an environment that encourages critical thinking and personal development. If Post Oak is a good fit, it's definitely worth it.
Montessori is not for every child or every family. For my kids and our family, Montessori has worked well. My kids started at Post Oak in primary and lower elementary after moving from out of state. We have been here for 2 years. They truly enjoy going to school and, in my opinion, receive a well-rounded education. They have a strong cohort of friends. As a family, we feel engaged with the school's community.
We started our son at The Post Oak School this year, and I’ve been blown away by our experience. He truly loves school and is happy to go every day now, and he’s getting to dig in and learn about fascinating things he’s really interested in. More than that, when The Post Oak School says they’re focused on community, they mean it — every teacher and administrator and parent is so kind and encouraging and inclusive and they really listen and care about you and your child. It’s unlike any other school we’ve been at, and it’s clear that this is why children thrive here.
