This at one point - few years ago was an amazing school which has since severely degraded and is unfortunately becoming worse and worse every year. Over the last few years, the quality of the teachers has significantly decreased with the few really good ones like Mrs. Jane and Mrs. Lena as well as Mrs. Natasha leaving for obvious reasons. On average, the current quality of many teachers leaves a lot to be desired. On top of this the significant increase in tuition to $1700 a month is simply not worth it for the level of the education or lack of that the kids are receiving. The discipline which this school was once known for is also not what it used to be and is significantly relaxed these days. Many teachers don’t teach. They just rush through the material and don’t really care about the entire class absorbing it successfully. A few kids will get it and the 1/3 of the class or more who did not - they really don’t care about and will just give tons of unwarranted F’s and Zero’s instead of actually doing their job and teaching the kids adequately to make sure they are learning. Unless your kid is a top level student that is obsessed with school, this is not a good place for your child since the teachers don’t do their job in making sure that the kids all learn the material. Not much teaching is taking place. The worst is the math teacher Mrs. Anna. This women has no business teaching kids. She is very smart and knowledgeable but has zero respect for kids and is absolutely horrid and constantly mistreats kids and belittles them and destroys their self confidence. Instead of actually doing teaching everyone she will yell and scream and call your kids names and embarrass them in front of the whole class for absolutely no reason just because she failed to make sure that the kids learned the material. Over 20 cases of here making children cry and hate math and school as well as a recent physical altercation where she put her hands on a child. Management is well aware but does nothing but insult paying parents. Multiple folks are considering legal action based on the things that have been happening. Many of the kids in 5th grade are leaving after this year and can’t wait to go. Stay far far far away! Save your hard earned money and go elsewhere!
Great private school with a wide range of extracurricular activities. My daughter is excited about her studies and she is just as excited about all of the activities that they do at school. I am very happy with our experience here!
I recommend them to anyone in the area who is looking for an excellent private school. Never regretted my decision and my son receives the best care and attention possible. They go above and beyond.
LITERALLY THE SWEETEST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET! I am fortunate to have found a school that feels like home for my kiddos. They are understanding, loving towards your children, and just a breath of fresh air!!
Our six children have attended this school. As parents, we feel supported in our goals for our children's academic and character development. Their administrators, and program directors are visionary and provide informative, timely communication. The staff are helpful and effective. The school provides this and more. It's a great school!
