My two boys did not attend Pinyon but had Brandi, Chip and Margaret as teachers when they were at another Montessori school. My kids each have different learning styles but both benefited greatly from their Montessori education, which lasted from preschool to middle school. Montessori stands out in the way it cultivates creativity and instills a sense of purpose in kids that makes them want to do their best. On top of that, Brandi, Chip and Margaret are some of the most kind and caring teachers you'll ever meet. They nurtured my boys' interests while expertly guiding them to explore new subjects in-depth. When my kids transitioned to traditional education for middle school, teachers immediately took notice of them. Unlike many of their peers, they weren't afraid to ask questions, voice original points of view, and they helped their classmates. My oldest is now on the verge of starting college as a math major, and he already has four university classes and a math internship under his belt. I credit the foundation laid by Montessori and these teachers for giving him the initiative to find his passion and pursue it to the fullest.

We started at Pinyon this past fall and have been thrilled with our decision! Our child wasn't sure about starting a new school initially but felt connected to the teachers and other students immediately. The teachers/founders do an amazing job of blending academic progression with personalized attention and good community-building among the students. In P/T conferences, it's clear how well the teachers know and observe our children when they comment on strengths and challenges. I especially appreciate that the school's sliding scale tuition puts a quality private school education within reach for a larger demographic than is the case at for-profit private schools. Triple thumbs-up. Definitely recommend!

Our experience with Pinyon Montessori School has been exceptional. The wonderful and knowledgeable teacher leaders create a nurturing & welcoming environment for children both academically and emotionally. The organization and structure are commendable, and communication is excellent. We love that its emphasis is holistic development, fostering curiosity, and hands-on learning. We're grateful for the wonderful educational journey our child is experiencing here and that it's in the heart of downtown SLC!
