My daughter attended here for their elementary program and absolutely thrived. You're not only going to get superior education but you are joining a family. A family, spear headed by the lovely Ms. Maha, that will have you and your child's best interest, both in school and out. Ms. Cherish is AMAZING. She knows how to teach in a way where my daughter was confident and wanted to come home and share what she was learning every single day. That speaks volumes in terms of a different montessori she used to attend. She is attenti... read more

My son thrived the moment we switched him to Fulbright Academy. After years of struggling in traditional classrooms, he found what he needed here: teachers who see him as an individual learner, hands-on work that actually holds his attention, and a genuine culture of critical thinking instead of rote performance. Ms. Cherish and the team don't just teach--they coach. My son went from dreading school to running toward the door in the morning. This microschool model isn't flashy, but it's what we should have found years ago. ... read more

Both my daughters go here and I really feel this is one of the best elementary programs out there. daughter is advanced across the board, but that's honestly not what I value most. What stands out is their approach to education and how they prepare children for the future, with a strong focus on critical thinking, independence, and individualized learning. I would much rather invest in her education here, where she receives personal attention in a safe and supportive environment, than supplement her education with multiple ... read more

Fulbright Montessori Academy has been an incredible experience for our family. Maha is truly amazing, and our 4-year-old has absolutely thrived under her leadership. The growth we've seen in our child--academically, socially, and emotionally--has been remarkable. Every Guide we have encountered has been warm, dedicated, and genuinely invested in the children. A special thank you to Ms. Kathy, who is kind, loving, incredibly knowledgeable, and always makes both children and parents feel welcomed and supported. The Montessor... read more

Fulbright is a hidden gem - it is tucked away on a quiet street and you won't just happen upon it. We are so glad we found this school! My daughter is excited to go to school literally every day. With a Montessori approach, there is not homework, exactly, but she is motivated to keep learning at home. She takes an interest in all kinds of topics and even wants to pick out books related to her classmate's research topics and to do her own projects in her free time. There are thoughtfully chosen books for literature circle, a... read more

My daughter absolutely loves this play school and all the teachers, especially Ms. Samantha. The teachers here are loving, patient, and genuinely passionate about their work. My daughter feels safe and cared for. The play school environment is clean and tidy. My daughter is always happy to go to school and often shares with me what she learned there. The communication between the play school and parents is excellent, which gives me great peace of mind.

From our first day at Fulbright Montessori, it was clear this was the right environment for my son. After a difficult experience at our previously mismanaged Montessori school that left many families scrambling only 3 weeks before the school year began, finding Fulbright felt like an answer. What could have been an incredibly stressful transition instead became a fresh start. Fulbright's elementary program reflects the Montessori philosophy in the way it is meant to be lived. Children are trusted, respected, and encouraged ... read more
