Recent parent reviews
Our family feels great about sending our children to Ithaca Montessori School. We can't say enough good things about the Guides and administration!
Andrew DicksonNov 10, 2025Our two kids have both attended to IMS starting in 2018. If you want your kids supported and respected as the little human beings that they are, with teachers who offer love, self-driven learning and guidance in safe spacious and warm classrooms, look no more. It’s worth it.
Cindy TarterNov 5, 2025Caring skilled teachers implement an amazing curriculum with a classroom culture where every child is permitted to grow and develop. Wonderful Administration and really fun and thoughtful parents.
