Ciera Reed: Worst school to send child to. There's alot of bullying in the school from kids in also adults. My child comes home everyday telling what the teachers and kids are saying to her i address the school nothing changed

Kellie King (Detroit Atheist Queen): Need to have totally transformation. Not enough stability

tiffanyburton1986: Worst school my children ever went to

Tristen Paavo: Eh

Zayden Gaines: It's alright

Kendra Bennett: The food is.... pretty bad, but other than that it's a pretty good school!

Five Souls: ok

Nugget Man: this school is amazing!

Fay Fujii: Absolute trash school. Don't go here. All of my years here were terrible and I could never express myself. Terrible, and I MEAN terrible, mental health support. Definitely don't recommend.

Amanda Konopaska: FCMA depicts an ideal Montessori environment. The teachers prepare their classrooms for the children and they are inviting and entice children to make choices in their learning.

xelerz: they blocked spotify and youtube which we need youtube for learning

Edward Durbin: could be better.

BattleKing OVER9000: Former student graduating from the year of 2016-2017 here, I have considered writing this for a while and wanted to collect my thoughts about it for a bit, I am not sure if the school is still like it is today, who knows, it could have improved, but from what I heard from students who left after I am not 100% sure.Lower ElementaryI thought Lower Elementary was alright, I was in the Sassafras room 2009-2011 I think, I do not really remember. I didn't really have a lot of friends at the time, the friends I did have didn't really actually like me and probably just had me around to make fun of me. Where this isn't really the schools fault, the teachers never really did anything about it, and when they did they would choose to blame everyone involved, and never really cared to hear out everything that happened. And I would always get in trouble because I would be in the middle of other students beating me up, or fighting back and getting in trouble. And the teachers didn't really understand that kids sometimes have issues with making friends and get in the wrong crowds. But the way they taught was pretty innovative and unique, and I liked that a lot. We would do more hands on tasks and I think it was a lot better for me then traditional learning.Upper ElementaryUpper Elementary was probably the best part of the school for me, I started to make more friends and I really liked my first teacher Ms. Shannon, she was really nice and understanding, unfortunately she left a year later. The way they taught was roughly the same, and I liked that. Even after Ms. Shannon left, I still liked my teachers a lot, and I felt that they really took into consideration the feelings of the students. The only complaint I really have is that I still don't really think the teachers really knew how to handle things with other students, and were very strict about phone policies, and you would often get in trouble for little scenarios like trying to contact your parents during an emergency. Overall though, the Upper Elementary was very enjoyable for me.Middle SchoolOh boy, here we have the big one. If I could give the Middle School individual stars, I would give the Middle School 1 star. I hated the Middle School, and I would recommend that after Upper Elementary school you take your student out and take them to traditional school, I don't really even think the Montessori format really works past Elementary School, you need to go to Traditional School after this point to get a grasp on what the real world is, because this doesn't prepare you for life at all. We would do Math in a different way then traditional school and do "Courses", you're placed in a Course dependent on what your math skills are, Course 1 = Behind in Math, Course 2 = 7th grade math, and Course 3 = 8th grade math. I was placed in Course 2 in 7th and 8th grade, and went into high school not knowing anything that's going on because I never went into Course 3, and barely passed Algebra 1 due to not knowing anything I should know. Most of the assignments we did were just repeats of previously assignments, not really gaining any new knowledge, and just repeating previous knowledge. And repeats the previous problem of teachers not really understanding what's going on, and making it worse. I got in trouble and was suspended for 2 weeks and taken off a school trip for something that had no proof to it, which is pretty unfair since the trip was Chicago. The school didn't have an actual playground, and sometimes we would make up for it by going to Rosie's Park, and often there would be this one student who would misbehave, and it would cause the whole class to have to wait, and we would only get five minutes worth of recess time pretty much everyday, I understand that not every school even has the luxury of recess in the first place during Middle School, but it's unfair to be offered something and have it taken away just because one student decided he wanted to be a jerk that day.

Cathy Guzman: My son has improved his math skills because of the awesome math teacher that he has at Four corners. She is so sweet and kind with the kids and has a lot of patience. My son’s teachers are passionate about teaching their students and work hard to make sure the students are academically succeeding. During this pandemic, the teachers have worked hard to do their best in creating a stable schedule and provide as much help as they can to my son and his classmates online. I can see that the teachers not only care about the success of the students, they also care about their emotional and mental well being during the pandemic.Thank you Four corners

Loving mother of 12: At first I was hesitant to bring my kids here to due certain poor reviews but upon farther inspection, I noticed that Big Tickle the chubby cheek slow talking handsome devil indeed attended the school himself. I am overjoyed to hear that FCMA to this day continues to support Big Tickle and his production team.

Elise Hibbard: Could not ask for a more supportive, enriching learning environment for my kids. They are thriving. The teachers are amazing!! My oldest has been in a traditional public school prior to this school and the difference is night and day. Peaceful environment (I mean, they are kids, they get a little hyper from time to time, but the teachers have amazing ways of handling it and reeling the kids back in, teaching them respectful classroom behavior, etc)Would recommend this school a million times over. So so so so so glad we are there, wish they had a highschool!!!!!

Møichii Dreäms: It's a great school, it's very Hands on And Organized.

Ooga Booga: This year was a complete downgrade. I URGE you to never send your kids here, aswell as never go on the school grounds as it's a hell.The only way they could possibly save this middle school is to hire the old middle school teachers. Oh, and they fired them for no reason.Former Student,Ben Dover

Ben Dover: This is coming from a student in the Middle School. This place is a very loud unsafe enviroment. We had to leave the pod due to some mold. They moved us to a gym. Now to a College Campus. Its scary when hipsters walk around talking about hipster stuff. One time i saw a college student with a fedora. But to the middle school. The teachers do not know how to teach. We made one leave us because she was so stressed. Now shes replaced by an old crabby lady. This lady likes taking phones so much she has a graph on days and times of taking phones. One thing i will say is DO NOT COME HERE.

Mann E.L.: Such a wonderful sense of community. The leaders the office staff the teachers ... and all of the school helpers are wonderful. I am so thankful to be apart of the school. I look forward to my children completing all eight years here. If you are looking for a kind and caring environment with wonderful students and staff this is the place.

Hello Hello: DO NOT go to this school, it's a death trap you'll never escape. The teachers are rude and don't understand you're situations. See I just play runescape everyday and they denied that ability when I was playing it in class. I'm very scared.

michael owo: I go here lol

John Christopher: Great school

Tom Bushe: The staff and owner have been excellent with my daughter!! I highly recommend this program and this particular school.

Holly Snively: Sending our daughter here was the best decision we have made! The staff cares so much about the children and follow true Montessori principles.

Maria Carla Eusebio-Pinili: True Montessori. The only montessori school certified by AMI - American Montessori Internationale in Southeast Michigan

Adam Allulu: It's a great school you should send your child

Frances Allegrina: The early learning years are crucial. As a grandmother I recommend them.Both of my grandchildren have attended Oxford Academy as toddlers and preschool. They loved the learning, and are more well rounded people. They learned cooperative work and being considerate in this loving atmosphere. They were always happy to be there. Both of them are now excelling academically. I wish public schools would do this!

Royce Claydon: Waste your money here

sami banna: Great school overall. You can expect your child to be challenged and excel academically. Small class sizes is wonderful and leads to more small group and one on one if needed. Both my daughters attend this school and Ms. Liz and Ms. Judy are great teachers and work hard to help the students reach their potential. Ms. Natasha is an amazing teacher! She helped my daughter excel in reading and math and maintained daily communication with me regarding her progress (very hard to find in other schools) she is genuine and truly cares about her students. I don't think my daughter would have made the progress this year without the help of Ms. Natasha! If you are looking for great, nurturing teachers, Oxford is the school for you!

al kola: Unsatisfied Waste of your money

Cameron Fields: This daycare is by far the best in the city! The ownership and staff here is nothing short of amazing would recommend to any parents looking for a daycare with an excellent curriculum

Shirletha Alberty: Family orantated My children love it there and I do too well rounded

Qwentina Jones: Highly recommend! The students are educated very well, they are encouraged to use positive words, very clean, safe, and has a family feel.

Taylor Fields: Best daycare center in the Detroit area. My child has learned so much

Shy Chinita: wow this is exactly the same name with the preschool in the Philippines. It was founded 12 years ago.

Tina Jacobson: A fantastic PK. My child advanced by leaps and bounds after being enrolled last year. It was literally a second home for him where he was cared for. A great,nurturing learning environment. Ill be sending my younger children when the time comes.

Mo Hariri: Great school, staff and environment! my son is learning a lot and he is always happy to go to school. We live an hour away and it is worth the drive everyday. I highly recommend Schoolhouse Montessori Academy.

Paola Moret: Great Teachers !

Pete B: Nice mall

Apurva Bhide: Great place if you believe in Montessori philosophy

Naveen Nishanth: First daycare for my daughter. The staff were friendly and amazing. Direct interactions with teacher during pickup and drop off was really helpful. 100% recommend this place

Wafaa Kama: It is the best place to have your kids go toDedicated staff membersGood quality education

MCREST Homeless Shelter: The owner and staff are always very kind and helpful. Their love and care for children and those less fortunate exceeds all expectations. Thank you for being there and for being great role models for our children.

Sangeeta: Not chaotic like my other daycare.

Nithya Gopalan: Teachers here are the best, have great patience to listen to each kid. Love this school which gave a transformation to my child. They are the best compared to any schools!

Tiera Turner: I signed my son up to attend this institution, in the hopes for growth and success in his development, but after 3 days they kicked my 2 year old son out. The lack of patience and communication, on the institutions behalf, is limited. They gave up on my child after 3 days; didn’t even give him a full week. Also, only gave a partial refund when stated otherwise.Highly disappointed.

Allante Taylor: This School is a golden gem,I am very selective about my children education I have 2 kids who attend and they have helped my daughter with not just her education but her self esteem,You will notice 95 % of the negative comments surround "money", there is even a comment that states "the education is great but the price is high".My daughter knows so much my son knows words I didn't even know lol...so my recommendation is if you want the BEST education for your kid including culture send them here, if the fees are concerning just ask what all in total you will be spending then ask for small arrangements, like I did. Other than that the school defeats ANY other school I researched for my 2 young Black Children!!

Blanche Jenkins: The teachers are Awesome! My Grandson received an excellent education!

J Marie: So where do I begin..Starting point Montessori will make sure that your child is brilliant. There’s no doubt about that. They have a strong curriculum and from a young age are taught structure and discipline with lots of love.So, why do I give this place two stars?I’ve had several issues with the school secretary. She has since apologized but after having yet another issue with them refusing to provide me with the school tax Id number for taxes, I’d never bring my son back or recommend it.The biggest incident was when they assumed my child was sick when he wasn’t. Because of this they refused to let him inside of the school. I simply asked to speak with the school director and was told that she’d be there later. I opted to wait for her and she literally called the police on me. I wasn’t hostile, I was confused and wanted to wait there with my child. I recorded the entire incident and even the school director couldn’t figure out why on earth she’d opt to call the police. I recorded the incident because I’d had issues with her attitude in the past and wanted to show Karen because it was ridiculous. I was sitting in the chair quiet and recorded her lying to the police saying that I was hostile lol.. but the entire time I was already recording before she even knew.So yea, there’s that.They also charge you fees for everything. They’re a strict school and if your child’s socks aren’t the color they want it to be they’ll fine you.The tuition is also very high.My son was 1.5 when he started the school so the strictness threw me off.Anyway, I feel like for the price they should be learning mandarin or Spanish and taking all sorts of extracurricular classes.I’m moving back home and have found a school that charges a similar rate and my child will learn everything I’ve just mentioned.So.. it’s a good school for the area. Again, the secretary apologized but... the issue could have been a lot worse.. as black women especially we should never ever call the police on another person out of some misplaced spite or annoyance. What if they’d had shown up like so many do and try to immediately hurt me, especially with my child present? We see it all of the time and watching someone blatantly lie to authorities for no reason was heartbreaking.I loved the school before that.. after the incident it never felt the same.

Mizzz Candy: It's ok but kind of expensive to and no family discount for families with more than two kids

Deion Dykes: Horrible shcool. They make you pay for everything.... always have they hand out for money after you pay a 320 dollars tuition.... strict on the color socks the teacher argue with you.

WonderMom Dom Typ_Pisces: Before you judge starting pointDo you for research , on the expense of Montessori school .Montessori is more expensive, then parochial school .This is gonna be expensive . No way around it !My Kid is 5 and she can read . The school is challenging, but 100% effective if you put 100% of your effort behind the curriculum . It it’s worth it if you want your child to have a step up. The school is expensive , it is. Frankly I think most of the negative comments come from people that don’t like the price. They what more Bang for their buck , their choice , I totally understand. I’m not happy about the extra added expenses. IE The kindergarten graduation fund raising fee. But I won’t be pressured. I pay my tuition every two weeks on time. And I don’t worry about the rest . Neither does the director , so she can’t be that money hungry . I get things paid off on my time frame , other then tuttion.

kyla thompson: The director is oblivious to the fact that all children are different, which means they all act different. They lack basic early childhood education knowledge. The directors concern is that school is operated as a boot camp for adults and not those of toddlers and small children. Money is of course the main concern.

Lashawn Webb: I absolutely love this place! I am very picky when it comes to my children's education but I must admit this place is like a hidden gem. I have nothing but good things to say about the staff and the school as a whole. The building is always clean, no matter what time I come in its practically spotless. My son has learned so much! He knows his numbers , days of the week, and months of the year in Spanish and his only three years old. The price may seem expensive but its comparable to Cornerstone which charges about four thousand more. The Director runs this place like a regular school and I am confident that when my son leaves he will be well prepared.

Renee Jones: My son was three years old when he first started there. He received a good education. But the staff was rude and picked on my son for wearing braids. The director is rude and just care about money. You have to buy everything for your children even lunch. I would not recommend this money hungry place. Eight hundred dollars a month for tuition is a bit much for these little children.

Shira M: This school is money hungry and only cares about your payment they charge you $310 maybe money more for your child to attend they don't provide food if you forget your child lunch you have to pay them for your child to eat they also charge for every event the school has. you would think the money will go toward the kids but no they also want you to buy a $10 school shirt for your child you would think that will come with the $310 you pay they also make you pay a week in advance so if you think the payment's are every 2weeks it's not they close at 6 if your a min late they will charge you as well if you want to pick your child up early they will tell you oh we don't do that you have to come at 6 on top of Christmas break is 2weeks long and they still want you to pay $310 and when your child returns they want you to pay another $310 so basically your paying them $310 for no reason they didn't potty train my son they kept calling me and telling me he use the bathroom on his self to find out they wasn't taking him to the bathroom he was going alone as well as they gave him a lot of water and milk he was only 2 years old at that time my son was always sick so if they tell you they are very clean they are not they also Called me to come pick my son up because he nose was running so half the time my son was not in school because he use the bathroom on his self or because his nose was running all the kids nose was running my son goes to a brand new school who supply food as well as they are open until midnight my son learns very well even more this school they didnt even fix up the play ground and its in a bad area so your child is in that school allday also they got a lawyer on me because I took my son out of the school when they wanted $310 for the 2weeks the kids was out of school I don't know why they think I owe them any money when I took my kid out of the school 2weeks before as well as they gave you a date and time you had to drop the money off for the 2 weeks they was out and if you didn't come on that date and time you had to pay a late fee I guess they think people don't work this school is horrible and don't support these rude money hungry women

Just Me: If you have an illness, don’t apply to work here. They are NOT compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act, and Ms. Judy even asked if I was sick because I had a mask on. This is a violation of Civil Rights laws under disability discrimination. I am not restricted, but I still wear a mask out of common courtesy to those I am around that are immunocompromised due to cancer treatment. Ms. Judy even asked how my cancer would affect my work. Seriously illegal! My advice would be get educated about working with disabled individuals, individuals with illnesses, and learn some manors in interacting with others. What kind of discriminatory ignorance are the children learning at this school/summer camp? Not anything I want my children to learn!

Ryan Meerschaert: Great school, great staff and great atmosphere. Finally some stability in leadership. Excited to see this school continue to grown and prosper!

Annemarie Paciorek: I feel secure with the leadership from the administration. Ms. Judy is a fabulous person and a great leader. Thank you for all you do!

Keshav Grover: Fantastic gem in our backyard! Caring and compassionate staff provide a safe and conducive environment for children to grow and thrive! Highly recommend!

Judy Meerschaert: Great school with lots of diversity and a great qualified and caring staff!

Cindy Reznick: Great school. New principal and office staff have really done a great job especially during covid. I highly recommend this school. They really care about the children.

Brittany Parling: So glad we found Gateway. My 4-year-old has been there full-time since she was a baby and has had the most amazing and caring teachers; the same is true for her little sister who is now in the infant room. I love the Montessori philosophy, as well as the community of families and teachers that make Gateway so special.

Remi Napier: Working here was amazing for many years but the school has definitely made a shift for the worse. This school lacks diversity and leadership. Very high turnover for staff and principals. The principals and board of directors do not care about staff which makes staff not care about the job.

Steven L: Our daughter and my wife and I loved this place.

Sandra Eons: Still aweful . ...DO NOT RECCOMEND! Overpriced, low staff, employees are often rude to children (witnessed by me and other parents), and the aftercare program is overpriced and understaffed DO NOT send your child here

Boris P: Our preschool experience was terrible; very high turn-over of staff from principal (4 in 4 years) to after hours staff; terrible communication from teachers would not recommend this school to anyone. Filed a complaint with Michigan LARA; the last principal was pretty useless - and resigned 2 months in.
