Nature's Classroom Institute and Montessori School

"My 7th and 8th grade class went there for a 5 day trip three times a year. The staff is really professional with the way they carry out their tasks, and with the way they teach the students about the outdoors. It was really fun to take part in simulations that put the students in a scenario in history. I felt like I truly made a difference on the work days by working on the farm and taking a hike to the river and working to restore the natural environment there. Nature’s Classroom in Mukwonago Wisconsin is incredible!"

"We loved our experience with Nature’s Classroom! We would have loved to continued to attend this school. However they moved to a newly build school that was too much of a commute. We have tried to find a similar school near us without luck. This is one of the best rounded schools with the best staff hands down. They truly understand the Montessori method and the children. The nature, farm, and total experience was an amazing experience! We miss you!"

"We absolutely love our experience here. My two kids love going to school every morning , something I think every parent wants for their children. They play outside, make forts, visit the farm animals, and do lots of cool classroom projects. Both my kids are excited about learning. The school focuses on helping the kids become independent, curious, and capable people. The teachers are warm and genuine and there are lots of great events designed to bring the families together as a community. Very happy here!"

"Both of my children are in Children's House at Nature's Classroom and everything about this school has exceeded my expectations. The teachers are absolutely amazing, the Montessori methods have completely blown my mind, and the outdoor emphasis adds so much to the experience. I feel like my children are really being prepared for life--not just being groomed to pass some academic tests. I feel so incredibly fortunate to have this school so close to home. If you are wondering about Montessori, I HIGHLY encourage you to schedule a tour and observation at this school--you will be impressed!"

"My wife and I were looking for alternatives to day care in the area and stumbled upon Nature's Classroom. We fell in love. The director, teachers, students, and other families are all very welcoming to our family and our child. We choose Nature's Classroom because of the way the students are involved with learning through their environment. Both my wife and I would have loved to be in a school like this when we were growing up. The most amazing thing happened when we observed NCIW before sending our daughter there. The students choose their work for the day and sat quietly while doing it. Students come up to greet you and welcome you to the "peacekeeper's classroom". You develop an immediate connection with the students during your limited stay. I witnessed one five year old student counting by multiples of seven, easily in the 400s, and continuing on. These children learn extraordinary amounts and are our future. After the year plus of our daughter here I wish I could send more children to NCIW. It is a great community and the most natural way for any ones child to learn."
