Children's Meeting House Montessori School

So, possibly an unusual review, but useful I think for anyone considering CMH. I am an alumni of CMH, graduating in 1997. I consider CMH to have been a crucial component to my success in life. Some of my fondest formative memories are from this school and the beautiful grounds. I feel that I have an atypical worldview which has allowed me to think creatively and respond to challenges throughout life, partly due to the unorthodox (for the time) education received here. I have no doubt it has been further honed in the 22 years since I have graduated. I went on to hold three college degrees including a Masters, taught at the professorate level at the University of Cincinnati, and now am self employed in real-estate investment, where I own my own company. This school has had such a profound impact on me that I will absolutely send my own children, yet unborn, here without any hesitation. It is the definition of excellence and I am incalculably lucky to have been given the opportunity to study at CMH

Our children are currently in their 3rd year attending CMH. They began in the Jr. classroom and are now both in the Sr. classroom. We have been very pleased with their progress both academically and socially. The wooded, natural environment surrounding the school is beautiful and we love the ease that the natural environment is woven into their lessons. We have been impressed with the support we have received from teachers, staff and the parent community.

We have 3 children in this school currently and love the environment. This is our 4th year attending the school. The kids are encouraged to take initiative with their learning while highly qualified teachers guide them. The campus is beautiful and the kids are able to enjoy hands on learning and play in a very large outdoor space. I appreciate that the school also emphasizes interpersonal skills and problem solving, both academically and socially, at all age levels.

A fantastic school with incredibly dedicated, well trained, energetic teachers. Teachers show a real understanding of the Montessori method and have the utmost respect for their students and parents at the school. Teachers are willing to go the extra mile - stay late and miss lunches to help their students. My boys love the teachers. So do I. The outdoor setting, with its ponds, hiking trails, blooming flowers, and berry bushes make it truly a magical place. The school rests on 8 beautiful, rolling acres. If I could give the teachers and the school more than five stars, I would.

CMH is a terrific Montessori school. We have been so impressed with the teaching staff, the administrators, and the parent community, all of whom work together to foster learning and growth for the children. The setting on several wooded acres simply can't be beat, and extends the children's learning environment into nature. Our family highly recommends this school!
