The Montessori School of the Mahoning Valley is the both the best known and least known jewel in our community!  MSMV serves pre-school through 8th grade for over 30 years now!  All three of my children attend, they are 4, 8 & 11... and they are thriving there!  MSMV provides a safe environment with 2 teachers per classroom.  The classrooms are prepared in the Montessori fashion to allow the children every opportunity learn, to teach and to truly develop into outstanding individuals.  Though not required to take standardized testing, MSMV participates in the National Iowa Testing from the 2nd grade on... as a form of practice/experience for when they move on to high school.  Our little school consistently scores in the top, top of the entire country!  All this may seem too good to be true, but go see for yourself.  I almost forgot, the best part is that because we are in Youngstown... the cost is about 1/3 to 1/4 of similar private school in areas as close as Cleveland and Pittsburgh!!
