Hendersonville Montessori Academy

"If I could give negative stars I would. Ashlyn was very unprofessional and rude, she overheard her raise her voice at some of the other children and I was honestly so shocked and disgusted. Definitely would not recommend especially for this to be a "Montessori Academy" with the amount of TV that is shown as well. Very disappointed."

"Ivybrook is hands down the best choice I could have made when choosing a school for my 2 year old! From the first day I went to meet with Ms. Priya I knew Ivybrook was the right place for us! The way I see these teachers love my daughter just melts my heart! I’m heartbroken we are moving because we will miss Ivybrook and all the educators so much! If you’re a parent looking for an amazing school for your child pick IVYBROOK! You won’t be disappointed in your decision!"

"I had the priviledge of visiting Elementary recently. First, I will share that my son has attended HMA since age three and is now finishing his third year in primary. I’ve witnessed him establish rich friendships among his peers and teachers, gain confidence and truly love to learn. So I was excited to learn more about our Elementary program. I was pleased as I came into the room to see some quietly working on the works that were building on their strengths and others being introduced to new challenges. It was amazing to see some older students using the same material my son has been using but in a much greater and advanced capacity. I loved watching some younger students asking the older ones for help and felt the ease of interaction between student and student, and teacher and student. I’m very excited for my son and there’s no doubt in my mind that this is exactly where he should start his Elementary journey. I would highly encourage all parents, especially those who have children in the toddler or primary program to observe and experience this wonderful learning environment and to watch your child excel to their fullest amongst our HMA family!"

"Highly recommend! "HMA changed my life." At HMA, our son was happier than he'd ever been and made incredible academic gains. He needed challenge and acceptance, and that is exactly what HMA gave him! The teachers know how to engage each child and create a community among their students. They celebrate intelligence and drive. When I observed the children at events or during classroom time, I saw happy, engaged, eager students learning and interacting with one another."

"What's so wonderful about HMA? Your child has a voice and they are encouraged to make choices for themselves. HMA recognizes that children aren't the same and shouldn't be taught the same. They take the gifts your child has and nurtures them. Our 4 year old is learning at lightning speed. He can read while eating the apple he sliced. Our 9 year old has hatched chickens and planted gardens. All learning materials accommodate different learning styles. If you have never observed a Montessori classroom in action, do it! You will see that all schools are not created equal."
