The teachers at Forest Bluff are absolutely amazing. They know our children so well and work with us to make their education well rounded, not just from an academic standpoint, but from a social and emotional aspect as well. The school has worked to create a supportive community for families through book discussions, parent nights, and blog posts. We strongly feel this is the best place for our kids and our family.

The Forest Bluff School has been an answered prayer to our family. Forest Bluff is equipped to guide each of my unique children. Unlike many schools, they continue to invest time in what matters most in childhood with their expert staff and commitment to the beauty of the Montessori Method. FBS has shown us how slowing down and encountering the joys of childhood is a path to share with this great community!!

Forest Bluff is an incredible school that teaches kids from an early age to be independent and resourceful. Kids also learn at their own pace with the watchful eye of their teacher to make sure the school is fostering their development in a way most beneficial to the student.

Forest Bluff has been our children’s home away from home for over 14 years. Our oldest recently graduated and transitioned to high school - a move we were admittedly nervous about. She has blown us away in her ability to adjust to the larger class size and directed learning style. She is confident,...

I've had two daughters go all the way through the school, and simply cannot imagine our life (or their worlds) without a Montessori education. Forest Bluff is recognized internationally as one of the best Montessori schools in the world, and for very good reason (many very good reasons)... We never...
