I absolutely love this school. Great and well mannered students and wonderful and caring teachers. They provide the Montessori program and IB program as well. Would definitely recommend sending children here.

Ali Raza F

My kids are truly flourishing at Guide Academy, my first grader has blossomed in her confidence and academics, and my twins are more independent, communicative, and excited about learning. I’ve seen a dramatic growth not just academically, but also in their character, and I’m so grateful for the supportive and inspiring environment Guide Academy provides. I am honored to call Guide Academy our home away from home.

We absolutely love Guide Academy!
The teachers and staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and responsible. In just a few months, our daughter has learned so much — including three languages! The Montessori curriculum has truly helped her grow in independence and focus. She enjoys it so much that she cries on weekends because she wants to go to school! We’re so grateful to have found this place and highly recommend it to other families.

This is the best school my daughter has every gone to. They teach akhlaq and respect and value education as their top priority. My daughter was uncomfortable in public school but she mentions that this school is heartwarming and kind towards everyone. I really recommend this institution.
