How to Evaluate the Bay Area’s Top Private Schools
Parents who wish to enroll their children in one of the top private schools in the Bay Area have many factors to consider.
The cost of tuition is a major concern for many parents. A family must decide for itself what it is worth paying to send a child to a private middle school. Alsion Montessori in Fremont offers a tuition structure we believe helps make the school an outstanding overall educational value.
However, there are additional aspects you may consider when deciding which of the top private schools in our area will best prepare your middle school student for success in high school and beyond.
The administrators and faculty at Alsion Montessori have created a curriculum that acknowledges the great importance of middle school in the growth of your child.
We view the transition of children ages 13to 15 years old from elementary school to middle school as an opportunity to teach students how to lead happy, productive lives. Although young students are experiencing dramatic physical and emotional changes, most are engaged and eager to learn.
Alsion Montessori Middle School helps them with a well-balanced curriculum that encourages positive relationships and inspires self-confidence. By effectively answering the challenges of teaching adolescents, we prepare them for the rigors of high school and the challenges of life in the 21st century.

What Alsion Offers Your Child
What makes for the best private school for your child? Alsion Montessori strives to set itself apart from other private schools in these ways:
- Dedicated teachers, involved parents. Our highly credentialed faculty has experience both inside and outside the classroom. You can see for yourself their strong belief in the goals Alsion sets for its students. Our parents’ group, the Alsion Community Association, is equally passionate about creating a successful atmosphere so students will thrive.
- Middle school admission. Most students begin their time at Alsion enrolled in the middle school. In seventh grade, they become familiar with fellow students, teachers and the Alsion way. We gear our adolescent program toward the learning needs of young people.
- A calm, intimate atmosphere. Alsion’s small class sizes and modest overall enrollment contrasts with the congestion and impersonal feel of larger schools. Teachers are more flexible with lesson plans and able to adapt to each student’s pace of learning.
- An overall learning experience that prepares them for the future. A variety of electives, college classes, special projects such as the No Left Turn Here Cafe, a cafe operated by students, and intense Biome trips to distant parts of California complement a rigorous curriculum of core courses. Alsion graduates are self-motivated learners who leave Alsion fully prepared for success at distinguished schools such as Duke University, Boston University, Ireland’s Royal College of Surgeons, Scripps and Harvey Mudd colleges, and the UC schools.
