Aquarian has been a great school to my three boys who all still go there. The teachers and staff are very good. Its a very personable school yet innovative and caring in their approach to teaching and working with parents. Excellent communication from the teachers with progress reports and some even have daily reports on what went on that day in class.
Our kids are tremendously successful as their core courses are taught at their level. We have a very strong math and reading component, with our Specialists also teaching in the math blocking system. Our kids are creative, thoughtful, forward thinking, and great members of the community! Our teaching staff excels in their dedication to differentiation and all the benefits it brings for our students. We have a great socio-economic base of students which allows them to be the best at who they are - not worry about where they live or the perception of what they have/don't have. Our parents care deeply about the education their children are receiving.
When you walk in the front door you enter a bright, creative, loving, community. Teachers, parents, staff, and students are motivated and cheerful about learning and I feel blessed to have my 3 young children in such a wonderful school. They are bright, happy, and learning so much!
My daughter is a kindergarten student at Aquarian. She's been in school for four weeks and completely loves it. When I took a tour last year, I thought, 'This is what a school should feel like; warm, welcoming, exciting, creative, interdisciplinary, challenging.' I love that I'm able to volunteer weekly and bring my younger child. Overall, we're thrilled to be part of such a vibrant school community.
Aquarian is a great place for kids. The staff at Aquarian understand that children must feel safe and loved before they can learn. They make sure every child knows how important they are. They create a positive, safe learning environment. Anyone would be lucky to have their child attend Aquarian.
My kids have been attending Aquarian for the past 6 years. I have never met a more caring and dedicated staff that truly engages the child in their learning. They believe in the diversity of every student and teaching to promote high academics. The teachers are student focused and create an environment that allows each child to achieve their greatest potential. Teachers make teaching their priority, and it shows! The school itself is a walking museum of student work! High academics and high self-esteems are truly embedded throughout the structure of the school. Thank you to everyone at Aquarian for developing my children into wonderful, educated members of society.
I love the size of the school- I feel like we're in a small town school but in a large city. I think the teachers are outstanding as well and the parents are involved and supportive. I believe the principal has a lot to do with the quality teachers and overall family friendly feel of the school. She's done a good job.
Aquarian Charter allows our children to explore, learn and grow in a physically and emotionally healthy environment. Academic standards are very high, yet our children thrive while becoming thoughtful individuals, caring neighbors and global citizens. Our principal, teachers and staff have figured out the formula for engaging students in an environment that embraces diversity and fun!
Aquarian Charter offers a wonderful educational program including the arts and technology children need. When you can walk into a theater with the entire school and enjoy the show, you know that there is something special about that school and the students that attend. Being with the military, we have had to move but we sure miss the school, students and teachers. We brag about Aquarian every chance we get and wish that all school could be more like it.
I am extremely happy with Aquarian Charter School. My son is currently attending his 2nd year (k,1) of school here. He is excited about learning every day. He admires his teachers and Aquarian staff. The school is always clean and appears to be well maintained.
Aquarian is a great school with dedicated teachers and parents who want to see there children be the best that they can be.
We are very happy with the programs offered and education provided to my children at Aquarian Charter.
My daughter is thriving in this school! It has such a healthy learning environment and very family oriented! The staff, teachers, parents and students are all involved. We love Aquarian!
This is the best school in the district! my son is learning how to speak spanish and is teaching me and his siblings! we love to partcipate in the many family oriented things here with all the wonderful staff and student body such as movie nights, bake sales, family festivals, sledding parties... You name it and we can come together to do it! there is nothing aquarian families cannot accomplish.
By far Aquarian is great for, and with, my children. They look at the potential each child has and works with them. Aquarian has taught my children how to achieve their goals within school and how to move forward. My children are learning a second language and my youngest is also learning Sign Language. I did a neighborhood school last year and my child was not challenged enough. I am thankful for Aquarian they know how to keep the kids wanting to learn more!
Aquarian is a great school... Very family and education oriented. They have a wonderful staff on board willing to put in the extra effort to make sure that our children receive the best education. Our family just loves this school and we wouldn't send our kids anywhere else!
