A Family’s GMS Testimonial

Our two children attended Glebe Montessori School for over ten years, and we’re grateful for the education and care they received.

Tucked into the lower level of a local church, Glebe Montessori is a small school that provides a solid elementary education within a supportive and respectful environment. From the very start, we were impressed by the school’s leadership. The principal/owner manages the school with dedication and care, creating a stable and well-run learning environment.

The Casa teachers are warm and attentive, creating a safe and calm space for young children to explore, play, and learn. As our children moved into the junior and senior elementary programs, we continued to be impressed. The junior elementary teacher fosters growth with patience and encouragement, while the senior elementary teacher supports students in becoming more independent learners. A variety of engaging activities and themed projects help keep the senior elementary experience enjoyable and well-rounded.

The music program stands out, led by a professional opera singer who brings both skill and kindness to her work. She runs the music classes, leads the school choir, and offers violin lessons that our children enjoyed tremendously. This year in 2025, the choir won the John G. Sutherland Trophy for School Choirs for their Kiwanis Festival performance. The sports teacher brings warmth and encouragement to each class, helping students develop physical confidence. Support staff greet students warmly each day and contribute to the positive atmosphere.

One notable strength of the school is its staff retention. Over our decade with Glebe Montessori, we consistently saw the same passionate educators year after year—a testament to the strength of the school community.

Our children received a strong academic foundation, developed independence, and thrived in this close-knit environment.

Thank you, Glebe Montessori! Wishing you continued success.

A very satisfied family.
