❊ Testimonials

Loved by Kids, Trusted by Parents.

Seriously! But don’t take our word for it, here are some things people have to say about us.

I had dreamed of finding a Montessori program as lovely as the one I worked at for 10 years back home and NMS has met and exceeded all of my expectations! Our daughter is loved and learning what it means to be a kind friend, a great helper, and part of an extended family! Being a working parent can be so tough and I often have bouts of “mom guilt”, but knowing that her days are filled with so much joy and amazing experiences makes it so much easier to be away.


Brooke G., Parent

We discovered Northside when we were searching for a school setting that would support a child’s independence and unique interests, while also providing challenge and rigor. We have stayed at Northside because we see how our child develops academically, socially and emotionally in ways that point toward being a happy, successful adult.


Dana H., Parent

It is important to us that our children have the freedom to study in depth the topics that interest them the most, that they are encouraged to be independent thinkers, ask tough questions and seek answers for themselves, that they take responsibility for themselves, their education and their environment. Additionally we love that they learn peaceful resolution of conflict, leadership skills and the emphasis of the philosophy on intrinsic motivation. We believe that a Montessori education is the biggest gift we can give our children.
