Great River School

Having a nationally ranked Montessori school in our backyard made our school choice easy. Our kids love their teachers, classrooms, and being able to pet goats at school!

Awesome work environment and a school full of educators who care about building holistic trust with students.

Great local school working hard to incorporate itself into the community and welcome kids from all over!

It's a good school - most of the negative reviews are from rich arsholes who have everything handed to them and would likely review any other school the same way. It gives a phenomenal amount of freedom as compared to a typical public school, and while it does have some pretty blatant flaws in some of the direction, there is help if you are willing to work for it. One prerequisite that you might want to consider is that it is very independence-driven; if an attending student has extreme difficulty with staying on task when unattended, consider a different school. That said, there are opportunities here that you may not find anywhere else in Minnesota and beyond.
