Montessori School of Ojai

This school is a second family to our daughter. She has attended from 5th-8th grade. It is a place with no pretense and genuine authenticity. As a result of who our daughter is and her time with the Montessori School of Ojai, she is continuing on to a great and highly rated private high school. Finding MSO upon moving to Ojai was the best thing to happen for her. Everyone at the school knows her, the atmosphere is welcoming, with so few students she has received quality and specific attention to her education and as a person. Socially, being a small school with mixed grade classes we have not had any problems--no cliques, bullying, etc. The size, setup, and philosophy of the school just don't allow for it. We cannot speak highly enough of our experience with the school and their most amazing staff and teachers.

My daughter is almost 3 years old and has been attending the Montessori school of Ojai for a year. Going to school a few mornings a week was her first experience away from me, and her teachers were so wonderful at helping her through this transition with their genuine love, attention and care. I love how simple and balance the classroom feels, with all objects of natural material that kids use for their work. Kids also get to participate in the garden and develop a relationship with all kind of different animals present on campus. They have music classes every week and my daughter already participated to two musicals, which were the two most precious shows I have ever seen! My daughter is thriving at the Montessori school of Ojai and I am so grateful for her teachers to create such a nurturing environment for her.

The Montessori School of Ojai is a wonderful place for learning of all ages. This is a great, small, private school with an amazing campus and delightful teachers. The Montessori classroom materials and individualized learning make it suitable for all ages and levels of learning. Your child can take a little extra time and help to get through the lessons, or can breeze through it and excel onward at their own pace. This really has been a blessing, and we will stay at Montessori as long as possible.

WE LOVE MSO! Having attended Montessori Ojai myself, there was no question about where I wanted to send my kids when it was time to start Pre-school. Small class sizes, individual attention, a large beautiful campus with ponies & goats. Hot lunches are cooked on campus using fruits and vegetables from the garden... Montessori Ojai truly is a caring, nurturing community that has allowed my 3 boys to become confident independent thinkers, and excel academically.

We love MSO! We feel so fortunate to have found this wonderful community of educators and friends. For five years and counting, this has been an excellent place for our daughter to learn and grow both academically and socially. We couldn't ask for more than to have her at this school where her unique learning style is appreciated and she always enjoys learning.
