Bluebonnet Montessori School of Lakeway

Bluebonnet Montessori is a wonderful school and community of teachers / parents. We've had a student there from the age of 2.5 to 7 and are very satisfied with the academic abilities (especially in math and reading,) love of learning, ability to be independent, and completion of large projects. The school aligns with my views on treating children as individuals that can meet personal challenges. If the child is advancing they make the work more challenging rather than treating all the kids as the same and just expecting one level of progress from the entire group.

Small class sizes and independent study allow kids to work in the directions that they are motivated for while the overall curriculum has an annual pattern to keep them well rounded and to bring newer kids up to speed while serving to refresh and reinforce the veteran kids. During the same class, kids at different ages and abilities become leaders that help each other. The younger ones are motivated to do the work the older ones can do and the older ones are helping the younger ones which reinforces the subject for themselves.

Of note are the foreign language programs, music, art and various after school classes like yoga. There are several annual gatherings where the kids sing, play, and do small performances for the group of parents and siblings.

It's a very special school and community to be part of. There is a healthy balance of learning, work, and socialization that lets kids be confident and smart.

Would recommend it to anyone with children who are able to concentrate on tasks themselves. Those kids really take off at Bluebonnet because the pace of learning is largely self directed with teachers providing guidance, encouragement, and motivation.

Blue Bonnet Montessori is amazing! I wish I would have brought my kids here earlier! The staff truly cares about all the children and they have exceeded my expectations when it comes to the curriculum! My kids are learning so much more than they would be at a public school. I highly recommend!

The school is amazing as are all of the teachers! My oldest son is leaving the school at the age of 9 and had a wonderful experience- he is leaving with the math skills of an 8th grader thanks to the brilliant Ms. Shah who teaches kids to love math & science. My middle son has blossomed at the school, first with Ms. Raza & Ms. Yvonne who knew exactly how to create an environment in which he could learn his way and now with Ms. Shah he is reaching his full potential. My youngest will start in September and thoughts of moving her to a school that is closer to our house were quickly squashed- we could never deprive her of the Bluebonnet experience her brothers have so enjoyed and grown from.

We absolutely love the school, we love the love Ms. Silvia gives to each and every student and we adore the teachers!

Our family has been with Bluebonnet for five years between two kids, and I couldn’t have asked for a better elementary experience for my children. They truly love learning! The principal, Ms. Silvia, has such compassion for children and such a love for teaching, as do all the teachers. Because it’s a smaller school, the teachers are able to spend a lot of individual time with the students. Not only do the kids receive a top-notch academic education, they also learn life skills, independence, and social responsibility.

I absolutely recommend Bluebonnet Montessori to everyone. It is one of the top schools in the area!

Sending your child to Bluebonnet Montessori is the most amazing gift you will ever give them! It is a magical place with gifted and nurturing teachers that will give your child an incredible academic education, along with a reverent respect for the Earth and all of its inhabitants. Your child will be inspired with a love for learning. They will learn to peacefully resolve conflicts with other children. Their self-confidence will soar! They will LOVE going to school every day. Miss Sylvia (the director) has created a magical environment where the kids believe that anything is possible.

My daughter left Bluebonnet because she aged out, but the other day she said to me, “Mom, Miss Shaw (one of her teachers at Bluebonnet) is an amazing teacher. She inspired me and I learned so much from her."
