San Tan Charter School - Recker Campus

"My husband and I are a founding family of San Tan Montessori and both of our daughters started in the Montessori preschool and are currently in 6th and 10th Grade! We have been witness to this school blossoming over the years and providing our children with a safe foundation for their education. The great leadership provided by Kris and Rita Sippel the founders and all of the amazing teachers over the last 12 years will not be forgotten!"

"San Tan Montessori has been a nurturing and peaceful place for my children. They have welcomed my children with open arms and worked with them each day to help them grow and learn. The staff is kind, gentle, and flexible. The classrooms are clean and organized. The Montessori education that my children have received has been a true education to life. Each of the classrooms has had perfect materials that are pleasing to the child's eye to use to learn concepts being presented to the child. The San Tan community is a warm, family oriented community that encourages and uplifts the child and meets them where they are in life and learning. I would highly recommend this school and environment for our small little ones."

"I have two (soon to be three) children attending STCS and we honestly think it's the best charter school for them. We spent a lot of time looking into what we wanted for them, and this was the best we could find. They have a gifted program and are very adaptive to children's learning style. The few times we have had to discuss incidents and behaviors with the administration, it's always been a great experience. No school is perfect, but I think that STCS is the best for our family."

"Clean, safe, friendly Charter/ Montessori School. Free tuition except for full day Kindergarten. K-8 on campus. Beautiful new building, staff treats you like family, small class sizes, and your choice of Montessori or mainstream education for your children. 100% Recommend."

"We are absolutely loving this school for our 9th grader. Each child & parent(s) have an interview with the Principal (or assistant principal) so they know each and every family. The school operates sort of like a family (you hear all the staff say that and I've seen no evidence to the contrary). They are very community oriented and have community vents outside of school regularly. Our son is on the football team & they have been great about welcoming him in & making him feel like he is part of the community from the get-go. Furthermore we are a Love & Logic family so to find a school that practices this & does not use punitive measures for discipline- but rather enforces natural consequences, is a breath of fresh air! There's always place every community can improve but overall we feel like, so far at least, this school has been such a blessing to find!! We have been very methodical about the schools he has attended so this review isn't written with anything but from a place of authenticity & levelheadedness."
