Brockman Elementary is an amazing school. I have two boys and the eldest began as a 4k in 2008. The Montessori philosophy is an amazing way to teach children how to be responsible. There is a framework in place and the children choose their own work within that structure. This creates respectful, self motivated citizens. The teachers are very well qualified. All of them have undergraduate degrees in education and their Montessori certification. Many of them have Master's degrees and National board certification. In my work with the PTO, I have had an opportunity to interact with all of them. I agree with the principal that there are no bad teachers in this school. A previous review stated that this school was not suitable for boys or for children who are not organized. I have a boy with adhd. He is the epitome of disorganized. His lower elementary teacher (1st-3rd grade) worked very closely with us and the school intervention team to make sure he was getting the guidance, structure, and accommodations he needed to be successful. He is now in the 4th grade and doing very well. As you can tell, we love this school!

This is by far my favorite school my son has attended. He has learned the most here, and they work closely with him. I love the small class sizes and how small the school is as a whole. It is more like a large family. All the adults in the school know each child.

There is an error in my previous post. The program is call STEM ( science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).

Please PLEASE DO NOT take your child here. The school is so dirty the bathrooms are nasty and the teachers don’t CARE. There’s fights all the time.except for Dr. Constance gee the orchestra teacher. She is one of the best teachers i have EVER HAD.
