We have taken an unschooling approach in teaching our 6.5 year old daughter from day one. We moved to Idaho when she was 5 and since we were new to the area we decided to put her in a nature school to make some friends. She loved it so much we thought of having her go to a Montessori the following year. (since the philosophy of Montessori fits our view of unschooling) That is how we found Teton View Montessori and Lexi Fuhriman.

I was a little leery about the amount of hours of school at first but it’s turned out to be great! We love that our daughter is with children of mixed ages (it has been so helpful in her learning how to interact with others), that she can learn at her own pace because of the focus on child led learning, that she is learning concepts and not just memorizing, that she does not take tests, and that she is learning to respect and appreciate our country and those who fight to keep it free.

We love all of her teachers — Miss Lexi, Miss Emily, Miss Lannah and Miss Diana! They are kind and compassionate women who really care about all the kids they teach. I really appreciate Lexi keeping us updated on what our daughter is learning and how she is doing at school. Not just academically, but psychologically as well.

Our daughter has grown leaps and bounds since attending Teton View! Her vocabulary has grown, she is able to express herself better. She has grown more confidence in herself. She has experienced compassion and kindness from older classmates (and teachers) that has helped her feel included and apart. Her concepts and desires of being responsible for self have grown.

We are glad she was able to go to this school and highly recommend it! Montessori philosophy is a great option for teaching children, but it’s the teachers and the way they teach at this Montessori school that make it special!

My son loves school at Teton Montessori!

Nathan (the Jr. High guide) is very good at explaining concepts! You can tell he himself has a passion for learning!

We love that our son is learning how to think for himself, not just being told what to think! To us this is one of the most valuable skills one can learn!

We also love that our son is learning how to teach himself and is being guided on how to ask questions and think critically.

The environment is peaceful and loving! Respect for self and others is a priority. The children learn how to take care of their surroundings and help the group through personal responsibilities.

Nathan is amazing at finding the good in the children and also seeing their needs and helping them help themselves! It is definitely an irreplaceable experience!

Thanks Teton View Montessori!!!

Teton View Montessori has been life changing for our family!

When it came time to make the decision on where our oldest child would go to school we were really struggling finding a program we agreed with anywhere in the Rexburg area.

When Teton View Montessori was introduced to us we instantly knew it was a perfect fit. Now 4 of our 5 children are enrolled and we will be enrolling our youngest next year. We have seen our children thrive in very individual ways. All of our children are extremely different and have very different learning styles.

Even with these differences Teton View Montessori and their amazing staff has managed to captivate and inspire each of them in an individual way so that they have continued to love learning.

You know you have found the perfect fit when your kids complain about breaks and want to be in school learning, discovering and gaining skills that will truly serve them throughout their whole lives!

Thank you Teton View Montessori!

My two kiddos have grown leaps and bounds at Teton View Montessori.

Iris (4) can now write the alphabet and counts (mostly) up to 100. She can phonetically sound out her letters and is proficient in addition! Liam (6) reads at a 2nd-grade level, can skip count, and excels in both addition and subtraction without manipulatives.

Bethany is superb; she's always patient and seems to know exactly what they need to be challenged academically, socially, and emotionally.

If you're in the Rexburg (or St. Anthony or Rigby area) and looking for a school that is hands-on, with passionate teachers dedicated to each individual child, Teton View Montessori is a must!!

In the world we live in, the gifts we have to share with each other are important. I could think of no better advantage to give the world than sending my kids to a school where the environment fosters independence, imagination, and critical thinking and are given with smiles and compassion far and above what you receive in a public school.

This is my daughter’s first year at Teton Montessori. She’s in the secondary program and absolutely loves it. She was previously in the a public school and really struggled academically and socially. I was a little worried how starting a different kind of school would work out for her because she had always struggled so much but it has been an amazing experience.

Since starting Teton Montessori she has really opened up, and started understand curriculum that she had struggled with in the past. She has learned that there’s not just one way to learn, there are several ways to get the right answers which has been so helpful for her. She not only understands the curriculum, but she remembers it when she finds her way of learning.

Her teacher is so patient with her and works really hard in trying to figure out what works best for her style of learning. She loves that it’s not a sit at your desk all day kind of school. She has learned so many hands on things from cooking different treats to going outside and exploring nature. Her teacher plans awesome lessons to get the kids engaged and excited to learn.

I have been amazed at how fast she has changed from being a discouraged struggling student to a student with so much confidence in herself in the little amount of time she has attended this school. I love that she carries over what she learns into the home and is eager to share with her family all that she did that day.

We are so blessed that Ella is thriving so well there and so happy that she has finally found a school that she’s excited to go to everyday.

We tried home school after the Covid Pandemic, but we were limited on our teaching time and skills. We actually tried for a couple years. We knew we were completely against sending our son back to pubic school. Finding Teton View Montessori has been a huge blessing and upgrade for our son, and for us.

Lexi and Nathan are amazing Directors/Teachers! We absolutely would recommend Teton View Montessori to anyone who is searching for a different learning environment and experience over public school.

Our son comes home positive and feeling accomplished and fulfilled and that means a lot to us as parents. We have absolutely loved our experience so far, and we know our son is safe and in good hands.

Attending Teton View Montessori school has been the best experience for my son! He loves hands on learning and doing things at his own pace! He enjoys music class and playing with the kids in his group.

The teachers are the absolute best! They are friendly, inviting and encourage students to love learning! Each day is filled with fun and unique learning opportunities.

The school itself feels so calm and peaceful! A perfect environment for learning to take place.

I have a soon to be 5 year old and this is our second year at the school. When starting in the mixed age preschool class it meant so much to me that “Teacher Bethany” helped guide my kiddo and myself from half to full day taking into account her readiness and comfort as this was her first real daycare or school experience.

I value the focus on life skills and the trust each child is given to carry out tasks that build confidence. Mine loved the “water works”, learning about all the holidays, doing all the big projects like baking food and field trips and learned more songs than I can remember.

One of the many unique aspects I have enjoyed is the work between classrooms and ages. The social emotional support is also really important to me. I see compassion and empathy modeled in all aspects of the daily routine and have seen my kiddo learn to work within the classroom setting, learn to make mistakes, make friends and form a strong bond with her teacher.

Some of these things may seem normal in a school, but to me it’s the intentional respect and autonomy (with appropriate boundaries) given to students, that make this type of education different.
