Whole Earth Montessori Testimonials
Bob
and Colleen Huebner If you are seeking the best school for your child,
you owe it to yourself to consider the Whole Earth Montessori School in
Bothell. Our son has attended the school for five years now and we could not
be more pleased with the results. Why is Whole Earth Montessori so outstanding? It
starts with the very enlightened educational philosophy of Dr. Maria
Montessori which is practiced at the school. Add to that, excellent teachers,
individualized attention, outstanding curriculum, student freedom with
responsibility and discipline, beautiful classrooms and grounds, and lots of
love. The school nurtures the development of the whole child. We attribute our son’s tremendous academic and
personal growth to his education at Whole Earth. The school's hands-on and
self-directed style of learning has allowed our son to progress at his own
pace under the teachers’ guidance, while feeling ownership for the success of
his education and development. The freedom and responsibility he’s been given at
Whole Earth have greatly enhanced his joy of learning and allowed him to
excel in many areas. Because of the school’s integrated approach, we are
constantly amazed at our son’s encyclopedic knowledge of the world from
earliest history to present day. We feel he has developed a very well
balanced view of himself and the world. We encourage you to take a day and visit the
school, observe the classrooms, and meet the staff. Once you do, you’ll know
why we’ve recommended it so strongly. If you'd like to contact us with any

Mark
and Rosa Lundborg When our son was a preschooler, he was very shy and
needed quite a bit of encouragement to try new things and indulge his
curiosity. We thought that a Montessori school would be the best place for
him to begin his education. We could not be happier with Whole Earth! Within
a year in the preschool classroom, our son was “out of his shell” and was so
excited about the things he was learning. It has been four wonderful years so far and our son
loves school. He is actively engaged in and out of the classroom and is not
afraid to ask questions about the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ of the world. These are
the greatest gifts that Whole Earth has given him. They provide not only an
excellent academic foundation for the children, but they are very conscious
of providing it in an environment that honors individual learning styles and
interests. We couldn’t be more pleased and we are going to be seeking a
similar experience for our youngest child when the time comes. We know that at some point, we will have to leave
Whole Earth and make some decisions about where to send our son. While we wish
that he could be there longer, we know that he will always carry the skills
and love of learning that this school has nurtured in him. Clearly,
entrusting his early education to Dianna, Kathy, and the Whole Earth staff
was one of the best decisions we made. If you'd like to contact us with any
