Moving my child from public school to private was scary and my 1st choice turned out to be the wrong choice until we found Marble Valley. This is my daughters 3rd year at the school and it was the best change I could have made. The academic curriculum is exactly what I was looking for to ensure she was on track. The teachers are supportive and willing to work with your child if an issue develops. Now my daughter loves school and that speaks volumes.
We have found Marble Valley to provide a moral, kind, child-centered, child-friendly, high-quality, well-rounded experience. Compared to other schools both public and private, Marble Valley's teaching method might seem a bit unfamiliar -- they supplement their curriculum with experiential learning, rather than relying exclusively on rote learning and mounds of homework. The children are engaged in activities and discussions that reinforce their learning and allow them to develop their own intellect, rather than being merely downloaded facts and reiterating and internalizing the teacher's point of view. I would say that the middle school writing and math instruction are second to none. The teachers and administration seem 100% invested in my child's success and happiness. I highly recommend this school. If you are looking for an environment where your child can be true to their own nature and get genuine learning experiences, this school will fit the bill. Do not be misdirected by the registration and tuition costs that are lower relative to other private schools -- based on our experience, the school provides an exceptional value and would be a bargain at any price.
I realy like this school a hole lot. I am in the 7th grade and i will be sad to leave when I gradute. The classes are great and the teachers are nice. I would definatly reccomend the school.
Our son has been at MVS since preschool and all I can say is he is excelling beyond our expectations - we are so happy we chose Marble Valley. Small classes, excellent, dedicated teachers and fabulous programs make it worth every single cent. I would never consider the public system with their overcrowed classes and never-ending budget cuts. Here they teach to learn, not teach to the test as in the public schools.
