We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

i like compass montessori because 1, you get a lot of freedom, 2, it gets you ready for the real world for example; i took a career class and it helped me know what i wanted to look for in a job, and 3, they listen to your ideas and try to help you in any way they can especially if it is something to do with the outside world
