We have 3 children at Tapestry. Our eldest is in 10th grade. We are extemely impressed with education he receives - especially those taken at the end of each trimester used to be sure every student has accomplished their targeted goals. Our twins, who are in k/1 class, are excelling. This school is an expeditionary learning experience. Today our son (age 6) was one of the tour guides for an event at the school meant to educate politicians, and parents about our charter school. He was well mannered and articulate. We are happy to take some of the credit for that but the remainder of the credit belongs to all the teachers in the school. We love Tapestry!!!!!!!!!!

2 of my children attend this wonderful school and I cannot say enough about the teachers, the principal and the couselors. They are all dedicated, hard working and great examples for our children. I feel my kids are getting a great education and having a wonderful high school experience. My daughter just left for London this morning on a school trip!!!

The teachers are great, and the children are really challenged. The sense of community that the school fosters is another great thing about Tapestry.

By far the best school any of my children have ever attended, both public and private. I have never experienced such a dedicated faculty, a visionary leadership, and a caring community. The academics are rigorous, yet teachers clearly address the individual learning styles of every student. I particularly love the expeditionary learning model of education that begins in the middle school, and the infusion of the arts into the entire academic program.

As a parent of a junior at Tapestry I kind of feel bad for sending my son there. With a school connected with the Bill Gates Foundation, I thought it would be better. He's stuck in the basement sharing a locker. They have a couple books. Come on Bill Gates. Give Tapestry Charter High School a home.

It's our first year at the school and I continue to be impressed with the depth of learning. As an example, I was admiring my son's painting and I was asking about it. 'What's this? A stream?' 'Oh mom, it's a river, like the one in the Rousseau we were learning about.' He was 5 when he was learning this! The emphasis on the arts is so welcome and such a great base for all other branches of learning. A great place.
