Montessori Academy of Glen Ellyn

"I loved this montessori school for my two daughters. They learned many life skills and built a natural love for academics. They were able to attend school here as toddlers, the primary room, and the elementary classroom. The loving and caring environment will help any student flourish in this school setting. The outdoor space is amazing. I fell in love with this school as soon as I walked in and appreciate that my daughters were able to grow here."

"I have been part of this school for 12+ years as a parent and an employee. My child excelled here; he went from age 3 through the elementary program. The staff are very caring. I have always enjoyed positive communication with teachers and administration. While many Montessori schools carry the name, this one truly adheres to the philosophy. I have been part of both traditional private and public schools prior to this school, and I have been grateful to have discovered this particular school. I would encourage everyone to come visit and see for themselves. Meet the director and staff and observe your child in the environment. See if it feels like a good fit for you. Also be sure to observe the outdoor environment-- not only a great play yard, but also used for gardening and many nature experiments and hikes."

"Our kids have been at MAGE for 4 years now! We absolutely LOVE the school and the teachers/administrators. It is a very inclusive and supportive environment. Our kids have thrived there. There is very little attrition so you see the same families year after year! We will miss it there when our kids graduate!"

"My family has had children at MAGE for 4 years now. The school has been a great learning environment for my now 4 and 5 year old kids. The staff are very nurturing and caring while still focusing on academic skill development and social development. My kids come home happy each day, excited to show me and tell me what they learned. Both of my kids have thrived in this school given the philosophy of learning and the wonderful, caring staff. I would recommend this school to other families looking for a nurturing environment for their child."

"Love this school! Never leaving! My child has been there for 2 years now and we couldn't be happier. They have a huge outdoor nature area with a playground, sledding hills, garden, nature path, compost area... the list goes on. On top of that the staff could not be more patient and loving of all of the children. Annie, the head of the school, is at parent drop off most days and is one of the most wonderful human beings on the planet. Honestly you cannot go wrong by sending your child to school here."
