What everyone is saying is true. We loved this school before the takeover by Endeavor and Dr. M. We withdrew our son because the new leaders in charge do not have the same compassion and care for children as the prior Leader Ms. Julie. Majority of the staff and students have left. Please take these reviews seriously and DO NOT send your child here. It's very unfortunate that this happened to Fulbright. I decided to withdraw my son because I was no longer able to trust the new staff would keep my son safe and happy.

Our son attended Fulbright as his first school experience. Fulbright came highly recommended from a friend. When choosing a school for your child, you as a parent will vet it as much as possible because you are trusting a group of strangers to take care of your kids and help shape them during their formative years. The previous school leader Ms. Julie and her team did just that. During our year, there was not one single turn over in staffing and there was an abundance of enrollments. Ms. Julie carefully selected her teachers... read more

TL;DR - Endeavor is a cancer that consumed Fulbright Montessori. This review is based on Fulbright post July 25, 2024. Our daughter attended Fulbright for over a year. It was the most popular school in the area and came highly recommended by most of our neighbors who either had kids go there in the past or still have kids going there. We're talking about kids that are about to be in their teens so the great reputation spans quite a ways back. A lot of this reputation hinged on Ms Julie's leadership of the school and her am... read more

Fulbright Montessori is no longer the same school after being acquired by Endeavor School. All of the parents of this school are pulling their kids out and running to other schools. You should know why! In the past few weeks over 50% of this school's students have been unenrolled by their parents (the percentage is still increasing as I talk to more parents who are going to pull their children out in the upcoming weeks). Over 50% of this school's existing staff turned in their resignation. It's heartbreaking to watch Ende... read more

We were really lucky to have both of our kids under the care of Ms. Julie as the director. My kids absolutely loved their teacher, Ms. Candy, and couldn't wait to give Ms. Julie a big hug every day. Sadly, the school got bought out, and now everything has changed. I wish the new families the best of luck.

School was amazing for last 9 years until this year when bought by Endeavor. If you are looking for disrespectful leadership and concerns for your child's safety and consistency this is the place. In the span of 2 weeks the Endeavor leaders (if you want to call them that) have bullied and mistreated the teachers who were there. Lied to parents and allowed anyone to walk in and out of the building....

This WAS a school when Endevor didn't own with it. We had been going to this school for about 2 years. We loved this school and how welcoming it was to our children. The teatchers and staff greeted us all by name. Our daughter made friends with not only the other students but with the amazing teachers that cared for her like one of their own. When they sent our director home without a 2-4 week notice, everything changed rapidly. The environment changed and didn't feel like a safe and welcoming space anymore. The teachers we... read more

I too am writing this review to echo sentiments in recent reviews. Endeavor does not have your child's best interest at heart. They have taken a family (both parents/students and staff) and shattered it with their arrogant, racist and demeaning stance. They have lied to parents, treated us with disregard, created a hostile school environment to which parents and teachers have responded by unenrolling their children (more than 50% of students have been unenrolled) and resigning (more than 1/3 of the teachers with more to foll... read more

So sad what has happened to Fulbright Montessori. Poor take over by management with extreme UN-organization, lack of professionalism, bribery tactics to keep staff, and poor planning after the resignation of the wonderful director, Ms. Julie. I can honestly see why she quit. Endeavor Schools seems like it's in the business of purchasing schools without a care for the community or children. Almost ALL of the incredible Fulbright teachers have now left, in the span of just a few weeks! That tells you how Endeavor runs it's s... read more
