The Studio School

Having recently toured The Studio School I could not agree more with the parents who have wonderful things to say about the school. The community seems to be a very supportive and the teachers and staff seem sensitive to the learning pace of each child. I like the feel of the community and he will hopefully be attending there in the fall. We are all excited about the choice.

The Studio School has been a wonderful experience since day one! The faculty and Head of School have shown great interest in every and all students as well as the parents. This school is a very close knit community - exactly what I was looking for my child's education experience. The events they hold are fantastic from things like "A Lousy Comedy" - which is when the students perform their own interpretations of Shakespeare's works to the annual Baker's Delight fundraiser - which works mainly from the parents participation of baking and selling their specialties. I can go on listing so much more! I would consider attending one of their tours or open houses to see for yourself!

My child and our family have benefited greatly from being at Studio School. I appreciate the support the school has given to me as a parent in understanding where my child is in his development. I have always felt confident in his teachers. During the parent-teacher conferences, I have been amazed at how on-target they have been with regard to who he is, his strengths and the things with which he may be having some difficulty. I have also appreciated the parent development meetings and the willingness of the head of school to work with our family on various things such as bedtime routines, setting limits, etc. The community is warm and close-knit lots of playdates. There are opportunities to be involved if you are so inclined.

The Studio School enables and empowers the individual growth of each child on all levels. Students graduate from the school as independent learners who are self-motivated and highly educated. The principle is an experienced leader in education who has been in the field for over 30 years. Her commitment to the students in the school is second to none. The community is caring, supporting and giving and parent involvement is fully encouraged not just in fund-raising, which is extremely important, but also in wonderful community events such as the Thanksgiving Feast, Annual Gala, Multicultural Festival, Annual Picnic etc. Parents are themselves educated along with their children and take an active and participative part in their child's educational journey. Each teacher in the school is fully in tune with every student's individual educational needs. I am a current parent whose children have been in the school now for over 5 years!

My daughter is a graduate of the Studio School and I highly recommend this school. The faculty throughout my daughter's schooling has been remarkably supportive, both empathic and challenging always attuned to her needs. My daughter was very well prepared academically and was above grade in math and writing. Her high school teachers comment on her ability to work successfully in a group as well as alone. I fully credit the Studio School for this training. The parents are very involved in varied events; multi-cultural festival, bake sale, annual gala auction, etc. I always enjoyed the fun spirited and warm sense of community of Studio.

I am a parent whose daughter is a former student at the Studio School. If you are considering the Studio School, I urge you to make a different choice. The Head of School is an extremely difficult person. I have personally witnessed her scream at staff, students and parents. The school takes a 'psychological' approach to education. No grades, no tests, and no outside testing. All learning issues have a 'psychological' basis - usually caused by the parents. With certain exceptions, the staff is inexperienced and there is a high turnover rate. If you want to transfer, Studio will do absolutely nothing to assist in x-mission. In fact, you will be considered unfaithful to the school and will be ostracized. Children who try to transfer to other schools have be given false and misleading evalutations. My daughter was a much happier child once she left Studio.
