My child loves going there as much as I love her attending Bingham. They are very hands on and have a great open door policy. It is a smaller school, so each student gets more one on one and they learn so much more. Since my daughter started there she gets straight A's and she really enjoys knowing everyone and the fasc that they all know her. I am greated by someone each time I enter as well and that it very welcoming. We(my daughter and I) also enjoy the Paragon performances and think that they are very helpful in teaching the kids to speak in front of a crowd and to be proud of what they have learned.
Bingham Arts Academy does an awesome job educating the students with positive, individualized interaction at no charge to the parents. Parents are expected to volunteer time to the school in anyway that they can. The principal is energetic, knowledgable and dedicated. She makes herself available to talk to parents and students instead of hiding out in her office. The teachers promote positive character building, respect for others and yourself, accountability for your actions, one-on-one time for each student, and an individualized goal for each student to achieve throughout the year. The school has an established disciplinary plan and each student knows what behavior is expected and tolerate and what is not. The school promotes creative education through the arts and has a unique way of teaching social studies. My child started at BAA in Preschool and I wish we could stay here through 12th grade!
Bingham Arts Academy has successfully done a complete turn around this school year. The change in leadership was a great decison. Behavior is no longer an issue because the staff is using the character education program along with the No Detention Convention incentive to support positive behavior choices. Teachers are being trained to provide extra programming to the gifted and talented students to ensure every child is provided with a challenging curriculum. Most importantly, Bingham Arts Academy does NOT charge tuiton. They promote excellence in education for FREE!
Bingham's 5th & 6th grade was combined this year even though they said they would't. Then they couldn't find teachers that would stay. They had 4 different teachers from the start of school until January and that does't include the subs that kept things going while waiting for a new teacher to arrive. Grades went down & and parents removed their children & enrolled elsewhere.
