What parents say
We love this school and the whole wonderful community that comes with it. The school is really child centric and while every school says they are here it is real. The outdoors area is big and beautiful with lots of nooks to play in and each room has a novel daily activity setup by the teachers. Monteverde also has an art teacher (Mila) and an art room where kids can make truly unique and cool art.
