This school lacks leadership, the principal is in Paris going to school the majority of the school year. The do have difficulties in selecting and keeping teachers as well.
This school is fantastic! My two year old knows the globe and my three year old has started reading. If EVER one of them bonks their heads, I get a call immediately. If EVER any child is sick, we receive a print out notice letting parents know there is a possibility of our child getting it and what the symptoms are. My children are very independent as a result of this school. The teachers hug and love on the children as if they were their own. Best of all, they have valet pick up and drop off! The teachers bring the smaller children to their vehicles at pick up and get them from the cars at drop off--strap them in and everything. The BEST!!!
This place has issues, philosophically. There are certain "ethics" that one should know before placing your child here: One, make sure that your baby, yes baby, can drink from a real cup or else s/he will a) drown themselves and b) be thirsty ALL DAY LONG. Two, do not say good-bye to your child. They frown at parents that 'linger' too long with a kiss and hug. Three, they have a network similar to that of the Gestapo; if you say something, anything, they keep tabs on it and put it in your child's "permanent record." Also, they do not like if you are interested in why, say, your kid has a new bruise.
We love the school. My child has flourished in an environment where everyone is accepted for who they are. Each child is treated with kindness and respect. It truly is individual education but in an environment that fosters community.
My son has been at this school for four years. It is a growing school that has a lot to offer. It has a nurturing environment that allows children to develop completely!
It is a graet school and I love it
I thank God every day for this school. The method is perfect and the teachers know each individual child which ables them to excel.
This is my son's sixth year in the school and my daughter's third. My wife and could not be more pleased with how happy our children are in this environment. You can see they are learning and becoming so confident in who they are. Dr. Jules And Ms. Deborah are completely dedicated to the vision of this school and these children in hopes of developing excellent people and excellent students. We have enjoyed all the teachers that have helped are children grow and as the school expands we look forward to meeting the teachers that will come on staff. People working together in love and community always produce great results. Wow, what an awesome school.
My child was in this school for two years. In those two year 4 teachers were changed and 2 others were brought in mid-year. It seems that the teaching staff was more interested in teaching age advanced math and reading, not taking the time to make sure the child became well versed in the basics.
I love that no matter what 'grade' my child is in, she will be challenged at her individual level. The teachers are phenomenal, I couldn't ask for a better environment for my children to grow in. I would recommend it to anyone!
