Wonderful setting. Great parent and community involvement.
Central Park has a creative and nurturing environment. There's little emphasis on end of grade tests, but the kids generally seem to perform very well on them. I love that there's access to the outdoors, with walking field trips, gardening, and recess.
Little to no homework, really tight parent involvement, comfortable indoor and outdoor spaces (not a typical painted-cement edifice), and involvement in numerous community activities make this an exciting place for parents and students.
There is just a great feeling in the hallways! John and all the staff really care about seeing the students succeed and have the expertise to make great things happen.
It is such a wonderful project based school. The children are treated respectfully and as part of the team. Everyone is on a 1st name basis there. The kids have lots of outdoor time and every class has its own garden. They are very involved with the community. I can't say enough good things about it.
Central Park is a creative place for kids, full of life and learning, and with lots of parent and community support.
Creative, hands-on, project-based learning.
Central Park is a dynamic, community-based, parent driven and project oriented school. I absolutely love it!
Innovative curriculum - great community
