Great concept under poor leadership. The directors of the NWFBA do not act or make decisions that take the best interests of the children into consideration. The facade presents a nice image. But behind the facade is a very disappointing experience. Parents, do your homework before deciding on allowing your child to attend this school. Parent participation is minimal because it is not encouraged. We are not allowing our child to return after her first year is complete.
The school is great for building confidence and poise. The ballet part is amazing. The academic part is just average, which is fine. There is some elitism at the school; but I suppose that is to be expected. Once a child reaches middle school age, the academic quality suffers some just because there is only one teacher and a range of skills in the students. So if your kid needs geometry in 8th grade, he/she may not get it here. But if your focus is ballet, maybe you don't need geometry.
My child is completing her first year at NFB. She has not only learned ballet and french but has excelled in her academics. We are very pleased witht he school. It's a private school with a public school price. the school is balanced with a diverse student body.
i looooooove the school alot! we learn new stuff each year and teachers are nice.
This is a terrific school. The kids are well rounded is ALL aspects, including academics. The teachers are very involved in helping these kids do the best they can!
