My 5 year old son was at council oak from 2021-2022. He loved each and every single day he was there! It was reassuring for me to see that as it was his first school experience. The teachers there were very attentive to his individual needs and customized his learning environment to suit those needs. We were very happy with our time at council oaks and would highly recommend the school.

Came to to give praise to Council Oak Montessori School and their entire staff. My 7 year old has been attending there since she was 3 years old. She has some learning difficulties and they help her thrive there. She can go at her own pace and explore areas of work that she has strength in. Now my younger daughter will be starting her 2nd year there and seeing what she can accomplish at age 4 is amazing. The teachers give the kids many opportunities to let them shine in a number of areas that public schools just do not tackle. Cursive, sewing, gardening, cooking, and each student from preschool - 8th grade have a hand in making the yearly play production a great success.

I can’t say enough about Council Oak. I believe every child that attends Council Oak comes out with the right tools for not only high school but life. I was one of the first to graduates to come out of Council Oak and as an adult with a child of my own there was never a second option for my son. He had to be a Montessori kid. Council Oak is not just a school it’s a family where students and teachers take care of each other. It’s a close knit family that cultivates life skills that children will will never forget. The way my child communicates and resolves problems in and out of school is all credited to the Council Oak. I could not be more proud to say I have a Montessori kid that is ready for high school. Ready for whatever life brings his way. These children are gems when they are released into the world. They stand out ! Let’s get more of them out there.

My family loves Council Oak Montessori School. Since attending COMS, my child has become more of an independent thinker, more outgoing, more of a critical thinking and an great communicator. The staff is so caring and treats every child with respect. The way that the school handled the protocol during the pandemic was nothing short of amazing! The COMs community is like being in one big family.

This was my child’s first year going to the school I have seen so much growth and independence in my daughter she is coming out of her shell and becoming a leader. COMS helps in socialization skills they give that one to one attention. They work together having fun learning hands on etc. I love that it is close knit like a family. My daughter looks forward going everyday to school she says she loves it . The staff that works here is phenomenal very professional, understanding and compassionate. I look forward in continuing my child’s education here. I’m glad i chose COMS.

Council Oak is an incredible learning environment, even among other Montessori programs. Outdoor classrooms, farm-to-table working garden, and guides who are truly invested in each child’s development. Our son had a rocky start in another Montessori preschool but once we came to Council Oak, he has been thriving, learning, and even during pandemic, his socio- emotional health has been nurtured. An absolutely amazing, diverse, community of families and friends.

Our experience at Council Oak has been wonderful. The staff is caring and very focused on the children as individuals. As a parent of an upper elementary student I have found that my child flourishes academically. The confidence she displays in her work and in her self is amazing.
