The staff are truly earth angels in every way. My daughter entered the school during a very stressfull time and the school and teachers were GREAT. SHE IS NOW 24 YEARS OLD AND BEING A PRODUCTIVE ADULT THANKS TO ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK JEAN AND STAFF.
As an educator I have recommended The College School to parents of children with severe reading disabilities. I am amazed by the school's ability to take a child who has been diagnosed with a learning disability and within two years have the child working at grade level and ready to learn in a regular classroom setting. If your child is not learning to read in a traditional classroom setting, you need to visit The College School.
I cannot say enough good things about this school, the teachers and the administrative staff all the way to the director (who is the most wonderful educator). They know how to help all the kids find success. I have 2 children in the program and if I could stay through 8th grade I would do it. They tell me the boys are ready to transition with 1 having been there 2 years and the other 1 year - I am confident that they will be a bright addition to whatever school they attend because of the time spent enjoying the learning process and really getting to understand themselves in a way they could not learn anywhere else. If you have a child with a learning difference, I would look at this school above all others - you will not be sorry.
The best school I have ever attended I have been here for 4 years now and I have learned more than I ever have elsewhere.
This school turned out to be the perfect place for my daughter who was diagnosed with a processing speed issue. What loving teachers. It's a one in a million place. I really didn't think schools like this existed anymore. They love their kids and are so committed to them. The Director, Dr. Geddes-Key is a savior to many families who just don't know where to turn next. I thank God for this place. My daughter spent 3 years there and now has successfully re-matriculated.
