This school integrates technology into all areas of study. My son uses the computer as second nature, and he's only 8. He has real-life skills he can use to express his thoughts and ideas.

I feel my children are getting a wonderful education. The teachers at Cromwell do a great job of teaching the basics and the school has an excellent technology program. My children knew Power Point in second grade. In general, the students are well-behaved and there is a great deal of parental involvement.

My son and two nieces have attended Cromwell and their overall learning capabilities are excellent. It is truly a great school. The only downfall is the sibling rule. My oldest son has been wait listed for two years. I didn't know how difficult it is to get my oldest son into this school with a younger sibling already attending. I strongly urge this rule to change for moms with muliple children.

This is my child's third year at Cromwell, and it has been an exceptional experience from the very beginning. The teachers and staff are committed to excellence and caring with the students and parents. The quality of education at CVE is what parents would expect of a private school. It's evident that the teachers at Cromwell really love what they do. Each one that we've had has had a tremendously positive impact on our child's learning experience. My child loves going to school, and it's a direct result of such an exceptional staff of educators. We are so fortunate to have a child attending this school!

My child transferred into Cromwell Valley Elementary this year in the 4th grade from a private Catholic school program. She was welcomed by ALL with arms open! She is a completely different student- more confident and happier. The teachers care about every aspect of these childrens lives. I get emails back and forth from her teachers about progress. We have gone through private schooling and now this school and I couldn't pay enough for the quality of role models that she is exposed to daily and the amazing education she is receiving! THANK YOU TO ALL AT CVE YOUR AMAZING!

I absolutely love Cromwell Valley and have found the teachers to be just wonderful. The principle & vice principle are always greeting students and parents and there is a very well executed and safe dismissal order in the school that is excellent. The technology program is very impressive. My first grader was learning Power Point! Both of my children have had wonderful teachers for two years and I am very pleased.

My child is now in grade 5 and has been at Cromwell since kindergarten. I have nothing but praise for the teachers and staff. It will be difficult to say goodbye to such a wonderful environment at the end of this school year.

I have had children at four schools in the Baltimore Area for over 12 years and find CVE to be an excellent facility. I feel very blessed to have a child in this environment.
