I was so concerned about sending my son to public school but Apple Glen is great. His teacher is so accessible and the school really encourages parental involvement. His teacher is kind and really cares about him. The principal is great. She's easy to talk to, always around, and really helps create an environment of nurture. Really great extras and the basics are taught well (math reading, etc.). I am really pleased.

My youngest son attended this school, and now my grandchild attends this school. It has high expectations, yet caring compassionate teachers who do their best to help all children.

This school has been like a family to us since day one. The staff are completely devoted to the children who attend this school

I believe that our school strives to be a great school. The teachers all really care about the children. I have seen first hand the hurt that the teacher feels when they have a new student that has not received the proper building blocks to succeed in that grade and the extra help that goes into pulling that child up to where they need to be. Our parent involvement is down from previous years with the zoning going into effect but, I believe that we are still an excellent school that is building great self esteem and striving for academic excellence.

We have been at this school for two years now. We love it! My daughter's teacher is fabulous, and is always e-mailing me with her progress. She has taken a personal interest in her, and is always excited to see her progress. The school got a new principal this year, and we are very excited about the changes that we have seen so far. It is so nice to be at a school where you know that the people who work there actually care about your child, and not just about their paycheck.

I just want to let all the parents out there that Apple Glen is a very excellent school, this school has all wonderful teachers. And is very clean. It also has good structure and organization. My child has attended Apple Glen since he was in kindergarten and so far we have been very blessed by them.
