"I've had my son enrolled at Far Horizons for six years and continue to be amazed with the rigor and diversity of the curriculum, the quality of the teaching, and the caring of the teachers."

Dr. Mark Axelrod

 


 

"My daughter has been a student at Far Horizons for many years. She started as a preschooler and is now graduating from the eighth grade. She is working beyond her grade level and her Stanford test scores place her in the top 10% of her age group. Equally important, she is an outstanding human being. She is kind and respectful, honest and caring, compassionate, and intelligent. I am proud to be the mother of this teenage girl. Thank you Far Horizons for all your help-you are priceless."

"As a college English teacher of nine years, I have seen what happens when students come through high school, not having learned how to write well, not having learned how to read critically and deeply. Because my nine year old son has been at Far Horizons since preschool, I know that he is being well educated; he reads literature and comes home to tell me about it; he is well versed in grammar terminology and is diagramming sentences; he is being taught how to write essays (in fact, this year, in the third grade, he completed a report on Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island); he is being taught how to think, how to question. Add to this the instruction that he receives in science, math, social studies, Spanish, music, computers, and art, and both my son and I trust deeply and appreciate the excellence of this school. I highly recommend Far Horizons Montessori. The safe and nurturing environment with its high standards and integrity are the best out there! My son has been a student here for six years and he too recommends his school."

"Our family loves FHM! Both of our children have thrived in the stress free learning environment. Each child's individual needs are the focus of this challenging, yet nurturing program. Children are encouraged and in turn encourage one another to excel and succeed. Each family can depend on the personal commitment offered by the faculty and administration. Their love and guidance have meant so much to our children but most importantly to our family. We work together as a team to help positively influence our kids. They learn early on that if you believe it, you can achieve it. We have two completely different children but our experience with FHM has been the same; Incredibly Awesome!"

"...This school is definitely for the kids and about the kids. The curriculum is well rounded with art, music, Spanish, and dance in addition to the basics. I love this school."

Jan Hill

 


 

"I think that the most fortunate experience of our lives was finding Far Horizons Montessori for our child. There is such a sense of duty to the well-being of the children here, to their complete fulfillment of their learning potential, that you can't cease to wonder at the resourcefulness of the teachers, the kindness and understanding of the principal, and the helpfulness of the staff. Everything at Far Horizons is done with the utmost care and, above all, love for each child; we have experienced it firsthand."

"I can't complement Far Horizons Montessori enough. Each faculty member is amazing in their own way, but they all put the students first. My children are learning a tremendous amount of high level academics, as well as responsibility, neatness, follow-through, caring, manners and so many other traits that are needed to form a whole person. I have always liked the intimate feel of the school, ever since I was a student many long years ago. I don't remember much from my preschool days with the school, but by the time I graduated 8th grade, I had only good memories to recall and I knew that I was a valuable and capable person able to conquer my fears and reach my goals. That is what I want for my children when it's their turn to move on. Thank you, Far Horizons, for setting the standards higher and caring so much."

"Enrolling our daughter in Far Horizons was one the best decisions my husband and I ever made! The teachers are extremely attentive to all of their students and encourage them to not only find their own answers, but also to question their assumptions. The sense of community is unshakable and the curriculum is well-rounded. After six years at FHM, our daughter has consistently placed above average in her Standford tests and she continues to be challenged each year. Above all, she learned self-respect, respect for others, and she loves to learn!"
