Alumni Testimonials
“The Montessori approach at Undercroft taught me how to learn and not to be afraid to ask questions. It started me on my path of love for the sciences. Montessori taught me how best to teach myself and learn. I also learned how to work with others, and discovered that there is more than one way to learn something. Undercroft helped me through my issues with Dyslexia. The guides never made me feel that it was a problem but were always looking for different ways to teach me. This always made me feel that everything was possible.”

I know when I walk into any classroom at Undercroft I will find not only exceptional teachers, but exceptional students as well. It brings me great pride to say I went to Undercroft Montessori School, because it is the place that has helped me succeed in so many facets of life.

“Undercroft taught me not only how to learn, but to love learning. The structure of Undercroft helped me understand the need to schedule my time. I sit down every week and plan my schedule just like the work record I used at Undercroft. I had been learning this skill since first grade. That is pretty remarkable!”
