New Horizons Country Day School

My son is in his third year at NHCDS. He began when he was 2 and has had energetic, caring and knowledgable teachers each year. The playground space is naturally shaded by large oaks along with constant upgrades to equipment. The teachers keep the school and hands-on materials incredibly clean. Absolutely NO complaints!

Great preschool. The playground is great, and very shaded, and keeps the kids out of the florida sun. My son loved going there. They have a good staff and they do things with the kids that other centers don't do. They create long lasting memories and great skills for the children. I would highly recommend.

My son has attended here since he was 2-1/2 years old (he's now 8 and in 2nd grade). For the most part we've been very happy with the overall program, techers, facilities and amount of teacher-to-student involvement he has received. I have not personally seen any signs of bullying, etc. My son has made a few really close friends while here and has done very well in his studies. For the most part, his teachers have all been excellent. Of course, tuition expense continue to rise every year (but we would probably face that no matter where we sent him).

My child attend NHCDS for many years. Teachers were excellent, administration very supportive of my needs, and my student loved the education in a hands on environment. My child developed life long friendships. She was so prepared for Middle School and very successful because of the basics she recieved at NHCDS.

I took my kids from Montessori to NHCS at the beginning of the year. My oldest child was having a difficult time adjusting at Montessori. He cried every day and at one point we thought that something was wrong. He started at NHCS this year for Summercamp and his personality flourished, he now loves and enjoys going to school. I think he needed the structure and a traditional school environment. We as parents are very grateful and appreciate the love and dedication shown by the teachers. By the way, no bullying whatsoever... and if there is some, I am sure it will not be allowed.

This school has a bullying and clique problem, even though it IS a rather small elementary school. On the upside, I learned a lot while I was there, and became quite advanced in my studies. If you plan on sending your child here, make sure he/she is socially developed enough, and can fend for themselves.

This is a no frills type program with good fundamentals but I also feel there is a certain amount of neglect in social skill building. There are well defined student cliques that teachers just ride with. I didn't have an experience with bullying but rather difficulty integrating my child mid-school year.

This is an old fashioned type school with a back to basics well-rounded curriculum. Field trips and unit studies every 3-4 weeks. Small class sizes, generally 12-15. Although life-skills and values are emphasized in parent newsletters, it is a social free for all, with social bullying and physical bullying occuring. In other words, if your child is a bully target, he/she will need to fend for themselves in this school.
