Good School & teachers. Contraint is its facility. Playground etc. Due to this it probably lacks on the extra curricular front a good school should offer in higher grades. The current open space they have is also used for parking, so where would the kids play? I recommend them to look at the football field as options. Setup Table Tennis etc.
My daughter is in PK-4 and has been thriving at OLC sicne Toddler 2s. So far, we've found the curriculum to be well-developed, the facilities clean and comforting, the faculty warm, competent and caring, and the principal is works tirelessly to keep up quality and parental involvement. Tuition is reasonable, relatively speaking. OLC's popularity seems to have grown in recent years (probably as a result of the current principal), it has encountered some minor growing pains, but the staff have put in great efforts to minimize these. On balance, I think enrollment growth will be a plus, as one of the critiques has been that the higher grade sizes were too small, thus making it a bit insular. Now it seems like there's great energy at this school. Bottom line, my daughter loves OLC - she asks to go back all summer long!
Great School... Our boys love this school, the teachers are amazing, the principal is very hands on and always looking for ways to keep the school up to date. Brand new touch screen computers are perfect for the younger kids. Several after school activities. This is our thrid year with the school and we couldn't be any happier
There are smartboards in both of my daughters' classrooms as there are smartboards in all of the rooms in grades 1through 8. My girls have been in the school for the past five years, and I am very pleased. The new principal has a background in good NJ public schools, and she strives to keep OLC as up-to-date and competitive as a good NJ suburban public school. We just got the standardized test results, and our kids our off the charts. Also, my husband and I feel very happy to send our kids to a place where the kids and families are very nice.
great teachers, principal and a new curriculum with strong academic focus and programs. My wish list: Computers for every student Smartboards in classrooms expanded foreign language program
Excellent School..New principal is awesome!!!. I recomment this school strongly. My daughter is attending this school from last 5 yrs and I am completely satisfied.
The school is bit $$ but i think it's worth. this is the 2nd year for my daughter. she enjoys everyday; she tells me what they have done in school almost everyday. compare to a year ago there is huge difference; she just grown so much. there are some mixed reviews but as parents we have do our parts.
This is a wonderful little school that nurtures the children and offers an excellent academic program as well as interesting enrichment programs. My grandaughter attends pre- k and amazes us with the knowledge learned and the enthusiasm she has for attending class each day. I recommend this school highly.
My daughter goes to the 2 year old Montessori program. The teachers for this class are Miss Jolly, Miss Cathy and Miss Amy. I am giving it 4 stars only because my daughter is too young to give any feedback so this is simply my opinion. I have been VERY happy with the class. Art and music are taught regularly and I've seen my child learn in both these areas. Communications from the school is very good through very frequent letters that are sent back and one on one time as needed.
My child stayed in OLC from K to 5. I should have pulled him out earlier since I feel that he lost very valuable time for 6 years in this school. For me it just a total waste of money sending a child to this school. Kids do not do anything even in higher grades. Teachers even give answers to tests before the actual test. So what's the use of testing the kids? I agree with everyone who says that this school is just for show. The principal is the most unapproachable principal of them all. She only cares about those who have money. If you 'look' not rich, she will not even say HI or smile at you. I am glad I pulled my son out of this school. Think about where you spend your money in this type of economy. OLC is not worth it.
