About Carlisle Montessori School of Buckhead
Carlisle Montessori School of Buckhead is described by many families as a hidden gem and a positive, exceptional experience. The school offers a homelike atmosphere and a family setting with small class sizes. Parents report that their children learn a lot about life, being a good friend, and academic skills like cursive writing, reading, and math. The Montessori program is praised for bringing the best out in children, using real-world materials to build a strong foundation. The school focuses on educational concepts as well as social interactions, behavior, manners, leadership, and arts and crafts. Many families are grateful for the transformation in their children and recommend the school highly, considering it a fortunate neighborhood asset. However, one family's experience presents a contrasting perspective. After a warm initial welcome, they felt a clear shift in tone when disclosing their child's mild autism diagnosis. The process became focused on assessing whether the child would be a challenge or disruptive, involving multiple observations and calls. The family felt the school showed a lack of curiosity, empathy, or willingness to support diverse needs, leading them to withdraw their application. They concluded the school may not be equipped in tools, staffing, or mindset to support children who do not fit a one-size-fits-all model, advising other families with diverse needs to be cautious. This indicates experiences can vary significantly based on a child's individual requirements.

Our company gave an arts presentation, and the students were engaged and attentive, and they answered questions throughout the program with enthusiasm and curiosity. It is all a reflection of the faculty and culture at the school.

My granddaughter attends Carlisle Montessori School. If you want your child(ren) to flourish, I highly recommend Carlisle! I love the hands-on learning materials, multi-age classrooms, and the child-centered learning activities. The teachers are amazing and patient! Ms. Gina (the owner), is pretty amazing also!!

We've toured several preschools around the area, and while a lot of them were lovely, there was a special feeling at Carlisle that made it stand out from the rest. The teachers are lovely, and it has served as a cozy home away from home for my daughter.
