Simply amazing teachers that are kind and helpful. The entire school is focused around the golden rule (treat others the way you want to be treated). The students are so nice and welcoming to everybody, you can't go wrong with the ellis experience.

Everything is easily available to students and it is a really safe environment. The staff is made up of people who are generally good and honest and they care about the well being of the students.

This is my son's first year at Ellis Montessori Academy. I am pleased with the welcoming school atmosphere and the Montessori method of learning. His teachers are enthusiastic and there is an active PTA group.
