This school has an amazing administrator and teachers. Our kindergarten experience this year has been outstanding, and we are bringing our youngest here for kindergarten next year.
The principal, the teachers, the students, the parents.....all of them together are what makes Tarkington the best school in South Bend!!
The teachers and staff at Tarkington are completely involved with ensuring that your child succeeds. This is a family oriented school that welcomes all to help in any way possible. They keep great communication between the school and the families. This school is by far the best you can get in this area!
So far, Tarkington has shown me that the teachers, principal, and parents etc...are dedicated to having the students succeed. Through the years, I have never heard a bad thing said about Tarkington and that is the reason why we chose to send our daughter there.
Awesome school! I can't imagine sending my kids anywhere else! The staff, the students, the parents.....everyone works together.
Wow! I could go on on about how great this is. My daughter transferred to Tarkingtion fn first grade and was quite a bit behind their first grade reading curriculum,however, it was immediately reconized and addressed. Within 2 months she was not only caught up, but above grade level, without feeling overwhelmed due to their very unique and concentrated teaching techniques...she left 1st grade reading at a 4th grade + level. Just one example of this great school. Highly recommended for involved parents!
We came across Tarkington after we moved into the area when our son was in Kindergarten. Now both our children attend Tarkington and we feel it is by far the best choice we could have made. Everyone there is great and very dedicated to the role they play in our chidren's lives. Don't choose a private school before checking out this school!!!!
Our daughter has been at this school for two years. We are so pleased with the staff and students at Tarkington. This is an outstanding school with unmatched parent involvement. Highly recommended!
