St. Ursula Villa - Catholic Grade School in Cincinnati

Parent Testimonials

• We have been constantly impressed with the support and affection from the teachers and staff in the Montessori program (as well as the rest of the Manor House). We initially didn't know much about Montessori but we have seen our son make huge strides in the program. He is more cooperative and self-sufficient, his interpersonal relationships have really blossomed, and he has been more affectionate with us at home, too.

  Villa Parents

• Our child has loved Montessori and has really thrived. We chose Montessori because it was the only space available at the time we were looking at options. Knowing what we know now, we would choose it every time.

  Villa Parents

• We have had a wonderful experience in the Montessori program. I am amazed at the growth from being a first year friend to a kindergartener. Being able to be in the same classroom with the same teacher has been (and will continue to be) very beneficial for our family.

• We have loved our experiences in the traditional program with two of our children and are excited for our third to start next year! We were initially drawn to the welcoming, loving environment with a strong curriculum. We really liked that while the teaching method was more traditional, Montessori principles were applied within the classroom (ex toy/activity layout and making choices). I also appreciate that while it is a group focused approach, we have found that the teachers are really good at meeting the child where they are academically and challenging appropriately.

  Villa Parents

• We are very impressed with what our daughter has learned in just a short period of time and are excited to see what she continues to learn as the year goes on.

  Villa Parents

• I am very happy with the traditional experience. All the teachers are wonderful. I like the balance between social and educational needs.

  Villa Parents

• I went to the Villa myself, starting in Pre-3. I grew up there, and so did my brother and sister. I want nothing more than for my son to have that same experience, as it has truly shaped me into the person I am today and given me both the education and friendships that have been fundamental in my life.

  Villa Parents

• I have been extremely impressed by my daughter's experience thus far. I can't say enough great things about her teacher. Her expectations and lessons are developmentally appropriate and foster academic and social growth. Her experience and training is apparent in all she does. We love her!

  Villa Parents

• We chose the Villa primarily for its safe, loving and challenging environment. We want our kids to be challenged academically in an environment that is socially and emotionally supportive. We give the Villa 5 stars in this category. Teacher education and length of tenure (low turnover) is also very important to us. We have been very happy with our 3 years in Montessori. Our teachers are top notch and work as a team to create a great environment for the kids.

  Villa Parents

• We did not realize the benefit of the Montessori program until our child began to flourish within it… I think the teacher consistency for 3 years is critical, but did not realize at the time.

  Villa Parents

• We could not be more pleased with the Early Childhood Education program!! The teachers, administration, and entire Villa community is exactly what I would dream for my young children.
