Villa di Maria Montessori School 1280 Simmons Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63122

"My 2 kids have had a wonderful experience with Vila di Maria. The staff is wonderful, the teachers (directors is the Montessori term) care about the every child and work hard to deliver a high level of Montessori education. The administration is engaging and helpful, getting to know the families over the year. The other families at the school are welcoming and friendly. I couldn't recommend the school more. Also the campus is a hidden gem, lots of space for the kids to run and play."

"My daughter has been very typical in her attitude toward school, even though she has been in Montessori since she was 3, she doesn't want to do work, she wishes it were Saturday, and so on. We came to Villa di Maria a few months ago to start Elementary. The other night she said "I want school to be all the time." I couldn't give a higher compliment. Also, the one star review is by a local guide in NJ. I don't think it's about this school."

"Our child has been at Villa di Maria since she was 3 (she's now 6). We have loved our family's experience here. She is independent and confident. I'm excited to see how this foundation continues to serve her as she continues to grow."
