Hilltop Montessori has been a wonderful experience for my children. The teachers are knowledgeable, caring, and passionate about their work. The school itself is beautiful, and the child centered approach has instilled an excitement for learning in both of my kids. There is a true community not only with the Hilltop families but amongst the children as well, with older students forming friendships with the youngest students. We are so happy to have found this amazing school.
Three children and thirteen years later, we still believe Hilltop Montessori School is the best place for our children to learn and grow. The faculty and administrators live the school's mission and bring the curriculum to life. Their commitment to meeting children right where they are and bringing out the best in each is remarkable. If you believe in your child's inherent ability to strive to learn and explore, if you support your child to assume responsibility and do all for him or herself that they are capable of doing, if you believe children (even very young ones) are capable of solving complex problems with a high level of independence, and if you are committed to instilling self-discipline and problem solving skills as core foundations for life - Hilltop Montessori is for you! As an educator myself, I can say without reservation that the multi-aged classrooms, engineered classrooms, and long work periods of the Montessori environment have instilled lifelong skills that will serve our children well for the rest of their lives.
From the time of my visit to Hilltop to interview and receive the tour, I was impressed. Tamara, the Head of School and Lauren, the Director of Admissions were welcoming, open and communicative in a way that put me immediately at ease.
During the tour I saw how well the classrooms' milieu coincided with the theory and philosophy of the Montessori approach that was being so well articulated by Tamara. I left that day wanting my granddaughter to have access to such a well thought out and enacted system.
We are so grateful to have this school in our community! Our daughter has been going to Hilltop for 4 years now, and she loves it. The Montessori curriculum fosters her inherent curiosity and desire to learn. The teachers and staff are all very dedicated. Watching her learn and grow at Hilltop makes me wish I could do it all over again!
We're in our 9th year as Hilltop parents. Our children are very different learners but each has been served well by Hilltop and the Montessori philosophy it embodies. The teachers are sincere, dedicated, and well trained, and the staff and administration are focused on supporting the students and teachers. The head of school, new since 2013, has really helped Hilltop keep the best of what it does well, and grow and change where that makes sense. The recent additions of the learning specialist and toddler program are very welcome, and we look forward to seeing how plans for more support of foreign language learning evolve. The middle school has to be experienced to be believed, I am amazed at how well organized and prepared the curriculum is, how much the students learn and grow, and the enthusiasm with which they approach their learning.
Having now gone through most of a school year now, I can only feel fantastic; how true to my first impressions the experience has gone for my granddaughter! She has been evaluated; her skill level is understood and accepted, and she is challenged to work at the level with which she comes in. Consequently she is thriving. She is delighted and eager to go to school each day, incredible as that is to, me given my school experiences.
Obviously, I am very enthusiastic about the education available at Hilltop.
