His teacher is so sincere and loving, she cares about each of her students as if they were her own children. He doesn't like summer vacation and would attend school every day if allowed. They have taught him wonderful life skills and academic skills. I recommend Axson to everyone I come in contact with that have children.”

All of the teachers have the Montessori training which helps them to integrate the hands-on Montessori method and the state standards. The administrative staff knows each student on a personal basis.,”

“The academic programs at Axson are great! They let the children be very independent. My children have gone there for 2 years. I have a second grader in the gifted program and a preschooler. I had a 5th grader graduate last year and she moved on the James Weldon Johnson middle school. This is such an amazing school. The preeschool program is great! It is very hands on. The parents are very involved. We have an amazing PTA always planning carnivals and readings and concerts for the kids. We also have say no to drugs and stop bullying programs. Andhere are also music, art, and PE couses available. There is also violin, choir, boy and girl scouting, and extended day programs available.”

“This school has been a blessing for our daughter. It opens up the chance for all the children to expereince the Montessori environment. There is also an abundance of parent involvement in each aspect of the school. The principal is very responsive to any concerns you may have. She truly cares for the success and well being of each child and her staff seem to appreciate her leadership style. Extended day is a fun filled organized program that offers extra learning opportunities for science, art, and games.”

“The teachers and the administrative staff are very good. We have been quite pleased since we moved from a private Montessori to the public one. The principal is very hands on and seems to know many of the parents/children by name.”

“Axson utilizes the Montessori method of teaching and each class consists of at least two grade levels. The teachers are very relaxed with the kids and emphasis is put on the arts and the environment. Kids are allowed to learn while still allowing creative outlets. I gave a lower principal score as the 'regular' principal took an annual leave for the 2005/2006 school year. The principal is more of a hands on leader and the kids love her which speaks a lot.”

“this a wonderful school, my daughter had a reading problem and they have gone over and beyond with providing her with tutors and other additional assistants.this a 'A' school and one of the top rated schools in florida. Axson has a wonderful enviroment for pre-k and 5th graders, this school teaches the children the meaning of self respect and sharing and mosting importantly helping others.”
