What once was great no longer is. Fulbright used to be a 5 star establishment with Miss Julie at the helm and her group of well trained, caring and more than capable staff. Naming each and every one of them would take much too long. That, however, all changed late July 2024 when Endeavor (the parent company) made a critical mistake. They walked out Miss Julie because they felt her warm, compassionate, and caring method of teaching did not bring in and churn students the corporate way. With no contingency plan in place, ... read more

My family was with Fulbright for the last 9 years, with 3 children having attended under Ms. Julie's amazing leadership and care. This school was beyond a 5 star establishment. Julie, the former director, truly has a heart of gold. She knew every child and parent's name, tended to their needs and concerns, hired top quality caring teachers, and Fulbright was truly a family. No typical school drama. All of the teachers got along and genuinely cared about the children and each other. In July 2023, Fulbright was purchased by E... read more

PARENTS READ. NEW MANAGEMENT STRIPS SCHOOL. What was once a warm, inviting, and family oriented school has now turned into a corporate money driven business thanks to the classless actions of Endeavor management. My son's last day of school came abruptly yesterday when my wife decided to speak out about the ongoing concerns many of us parents were having. Many issues they felt was better addressed through email, but not in person. They then proceed to say to parents in an email that they aren't aware of our concerns becaus... read more

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....
