Montessori Academy of Chicago (West Loop)

A rigorous Montessori program, AMI certified and a wonderful community of parents and supporters. Started with this school 5 years ago and haven’t regretted it.

Thoughtfully engaged teachers/administration and wonderful community.

I was a student at MAC sense it opened and the environment was great but I was not ready for the real world after leaving the school and adjusting was really hard. Taking tests was a big difficulty for me and also receiving grades instead of passing no matter what. There was also one teacher that would squeeze children’s hands with a lot of pressure in order to hurt them as a punishment which was very unethical especially for kids that were in 1st grade.
