I am extremely impressed with this school. Our son went to a private school the year before, and his transition here was easy. They have great assessment skills for children that may need extra help in reading and math. They also have provide challenging work for chldren who are ahead of the curve. The teachers and staff are friendly and really make children and parents feel comfortable. This is a great school!

This was my children's school and it was like a second home to them. The principal checked on each child and once brought one of my kids home when he missed the bus.

Both my kids go to Scribner and I love it! I have seen many schools but none like the staff at Scribner.

the music program is excellent and the parent involvement is extensive. I also like all of the extracurricular activities offered such as Planet Science, the chess club and intramural sports. However, I am a little dissatisfied with the current 'fuzzy' math curriculum being promoted. Next year the curriculum is being amended somewhat to incorporate more standards and algorithms into the coursework so hopefully the students will end up being exposed to more traditional styles of learning as well. The problem right now is that students are not as fluent with their multiplication tables as we adults since they were never asked to memorize them. My daughter is currently being drilled at school daily (she is now in 5th grade) to try to correct this problem.

If you truly mean a shy kid who wants to be outgoing, then I would help them interact with one child at a time. If you are talking about an introverted child, refer to http://www.carlkingdom.com/10-myths-about-introverts

Find something you are good at or enjoy doing a lot, just one thing. You'll gain confidence and meet other kids that enjoy that activity too. Mine was singing in choir. I wasn't good at anything else but that built my confidence for other things... More »
