Had I known how awesome ACS was, I would have sent my oldest child there instead of paying extremely expensive tuition. The teachers and staff go above and beyond the call of duty to help. Ms. Kellermann is just a jewel in the French Program. I cannot wait to hear my kid talk about his day. It was so hard to get in but I thank God every day for this school. I love this school.

First, you must understand that Audubon is 2 schools in 1. L'Ecole Franco-Americaine is not just another immersion program. It is a french school with french citizens teaching just as they would back home. I have had my children in the Montessori School for a total of 7 years. The Pre-K through 1st grades are marvelous Montessori learning environments. Grades 2-6 have not been as Montessori as we would like but more of the teachers are becoming Montessori certified so we have great hopes! I have no experience yet with grades 7 & 8 but right now there is just 1 class for each grade level. We need another building for the Middle School to grow. We have dance, drama, art, concert band, P.E., and lots of after school classes available. Our PTO is very active and raises lots of money, primarily to be sure our teachers have assistants. Love it! BEST OF THE BEST.

Audubon Charter School has the BEST faculty and staff! My first daughter graduated from the school in 2004 and when my second daughter started school in 2007 there were no other schools to consider. Her education is valuable to me and Audubon Charter School was my only choice.

All the heart that is put into the Parent/Teacher/Student relationship despite limited resources. Can you imagine the growth and how much can be accomplished if the Little Engine that could had a little more fuel?

Excellent parental support, in addition, all of the staff are kind and supportive of students. The teachers work very hard and want to students to be successful.

Audubon goes beyond teaching basic skills to helping children learn to use their skills in thinking critically and considering how to impact their environment and the world at large in positive ways. Teachers are concerned about the personal and academic development of each student and communcate well with parents. The school community of students, teachers, and parents operates as a family with common goals of providing the best education for our children and modeling good citizenship and concern for others.
