A wonderful school! As some comments have noted, Aldo does not give grades and fosters community, not competition. As someone who studies education, I know that this approach works and I'm thrilled that this (public) school option exists for my child. She loves learning and does not need to be motivated by grades. There is a LOT of quality parent involvement. My sister, who lives in MA, is jealous that we have such a high-quality option!
Excellent, hands on, personalized learning. Caring and supportive staff. Parents are welcome and are very involved. Highly recommended.
I love Aldo Leopold. I am going into 8th grade this year and have been going to Aldo since 3rd grade. Its VERY hands-on and the teachers are always encourging and motivating. And there ARE special needs classes, I know many kids who went to Aldo with special needs and they seemed to have enjoyed it. We just recently added 4K and Chelsea is one of my favorite teachers along with Patrick Wallace, Julie Rabideau, Tim Devine and Kara. I am sad to be leaving next year. :(
This school is excellent for what it is. Distinctives: 1) Experiential learning in the community - high leveraging of community resources for the student's benefit: parent involvement, field trips to educational places, St. Norbert's college 'buddies' pairing with individual students to give input into their work & more. Community positively regards and significantly supports this school. 2) High focus on relationship. Teachers don't always teach 1 to 22 - they teach 1 to1, 22 times if necessary 3) Truly value diversity & respect for the individual. 'Mean Girls' & bullying is significantly less here than at other schools my kids have been at 4) Staff is organized around Education vs. Administration (like the best Customer Service oriented companies!) 5) Building is utlized as much and as often as possible, w/ MANY reasonably priced after school enrichment programs offered. 6) 390 students -preK-8 is smaller than many elementaries! 7) Strong parent community.
