This is the best school we have ever had the pleasure of being a part of! My son and daughter have been at this school for 3 years. Anansi is able to maintain academic excellence while supporting each child's uniqueness and building their confidence. The art program is incredible, and they have the most wonderful Spanish and music teacher. Their goal is Spanish fluency by 5th grade. My son has had a lot of social problems (there are only 5 boys in his class) and the principal and teachers are right on top of it. They have responded to every single concern with patience and compassion, and more importantly their measures put in place to deal with these issues have been effective. The principal is an incredible leader, and teaches with a Love and Logic philosophy. There is obviously a structured discipline in place because all of the teachers handle issues that come up in the same, effective, manner. They even teach emotional intelligence as part of the curriculum. I wish I could give them 10 stars!
