Amber Charter school is an amazing place to work. The only way that I can describe it is a "private school education at a public school price". Amber is a great place to work and an even better place to have your child educated.

I absolutely love the The Amber Charter School. I love the way the teachers use certain tactic ways to attack the areas where the children are most weak in. The fact that all the classes in the same grade each have the same homework & is being taught the same things is fantastic! It allows all students in the same grade to be on the same page. My son has improved a great deal in a matter of 3 months. I am very excited to see more improvement & growth in my son. I feel confidant in his learning abilities here with Amber. He is getting the best education here.

My eldest daughter graduated from Amber two years ago. My middle daughter currently attends Amber. I was initially attracted to the size of the school since they have their own building and do not share with another school, but then I fell in love with the teachers and staff. The safety team at the school is excellent. The principal Dr. Vasthi has made wonderful additions to the school's curriculum. The school could use a larger space as the gym/cafeteria/multi-purpose room is a little tight. The curriculum has changed over the years which makes it hard to understand the direction of the school. The PA president is very passionate about service to the school and the school staff and administration have the interest of the child at heart. Any parent wishing to have a caring and nurturing environment for their child should consider Amber Charter School.

My son is in first grade and this is our first year at Amber. We are in LOVE with everything about this school. It is almost like being in a private school, and I know as I have taught in a private school for 13 years now as a first grade teacher. The teachers are very professional and attentive. There are many opportunities for professional development and involvement in the school. It is a warm community with a strong drive to succeed academically and socially. The principal is an amazing speaker and leader. Amber has formed a strong academic foundation and aims to mentor its graduates into strong middle schools. It is a pleasure to be part of this fantastic institution.
