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.

I have worked at Forest Bluff School for seven years, and I am now expecting my first child. Whenever people ask me if I feel "ready" to be a parent, I always respond, "Well yes, because I have my school!". For those not familiar with Forest Bluff, it is hard to understand how a school can give me such a feeling of love, support, and confidence. I am so grateful to know how that feels, and especially grateful to Paula Lillard and Lynn Jessen for creating and sustaining such a special place.

Forest Bluff has been the most incredible school for our children. They are not only learning important academic skills, they are also learning important skills for the rest of their lives - social, emotional, and how to be contributing citizens of our world. We are so grateful for this amazing place.

It is a blessing for humanity that this school was founded and operates as it does, preserving and continuing the legacy of Dr. Maria Montessori.

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...
