Kentwood Preparatory School

The pressure of FCAT was too much for my child and the constant drama with school bullies. This school has done wonders at building back my sons confidence, organizational skills, and just wanting to participate in school activities again. Kentwood's friendly staff truly cares for the well being of the students. I love the curriculum, when he was in public school he had the worst handwritting, the teacher would just give him incomplete for a grade, today his writting is neat and his grades make us proud.

Our son continues to excell at Kentwood since my last review posted in March 2009. This year he was given a certificate for Academic Achievement and was on the school Honor Society. We are quite proud of him and love the teachers. They all treat each student with respect, fairness and patience and receive it back ten-fold. The additions to the programs get better each year with focus on academic and social needs and requirements. We could be happier. Hooah Kentwood!

Our son had come from a really abominable public school ESE placement and a subsequent private shool placement where they met none of his academic needs. Kentwood has been an absolute Godsend for us. Our son is happy and excelling in his studies. When he arrived, he could not read or do arithmetic and now he is working at grade level or above in all subjects. He has made friends and loves his teachers. The staff and methods at Kentwood are truly exceptional: each student is seen as the individual they are and treated with love and respect. We really don't know what we would do without Kentwood and thank God every day we found it.

Kentwood is the answer to my prayers. I have seen great improvement in my son. We are lucky to have an alternative to public school that works. I love the individualized attention and excelllent communication the teachers provide. I trust them completely and i do not trust many people when it comes to my child!

I am proud to work with the staff members at Kentwood. They are dedicated, hard working, and empathetic. We all work extremely hard and our days are lengthy and mentally exhausting, however, we see the fruits of our labors. Every day children smile and share their lives with us. Every week another family thanks us for changing their lives. Every year we send more graduates to University, College, and the work force fully prepared for awaiting challenges. We do make a difference. We might not be successful with every student and family (who is?); but we try our best and our commitment and effort is never questioned. Our program may not be right for every child or every parent. However, for the children and parents our program is right for, we are extremely successful and our results cannot be challenged.

I am happy with the school for my child because they undertand her needs and supports her growth and developoment.

My son now takes responsibility for his actions, is more socially aware, has better impulse control, is better able to express himself, has learned alot academically, is more self confident and happier. Every day I am grateful for Kentwood!

Kentwood is THE BEST School of its kind and at what they do. My son entered there in 7th Grade and is now ready to Graduate and enter Collage. The school has grown from a one campus(broward) under 100 students to its current full blown 2 campus fully accredited High School Program. I thank GOD for the day my family and The Kentwood Family crossed paths.
