Treetops School International

For the record the TEA does not have it in for Treetops. Aside from a takeover a couple of years back and one hiring issue from like 2005 the TEA has had no issues with this school. It's a good place. My own children have had only positive experiences there. As for the idea that test driven schools are the wave of the future I agree. Has hands on learning really been shown to provide a better school experience for kids? My belief is the work force is in need of people who have information and know how to access it. Seat work worked for my parents and grandparents. It will work just fine for kids in the present. As for the "environment" of Treetops yes it's a bit of a burden. I'm sure the school is looking to develop alot of the acreage around it with classroom buildings because the ways of the past are outdated. My guess is that if the school could sell off a good chunck of it's 20 acres it would.

Love this school! The people in charge are friendly, firm adult educators not my childrens friends or buddies. They expect the best effort in work and behavior. They continue to work for a common goal, which is my childrens education. There is an environment which holds its best teachers by convincing faculty there is a place that believes in them; which is trickled down to the students by the modeling they see everyday.

Social media is a wonderful tool but I hope as people read these reviews they are aware that there is no filter by anyone. Treetops is a wonderful school that offers a different learning environment while exceeding the State of Texas requirements and the private school accreditation. I am sure that people are not always happy with everything but that is true with every school. The director and teachers care. Is it perfect? No, isany school? My children (ages 9-16) have developed into their own at this school and we couldnot be happier.

After reading all of the reviews about Treetops both positive and negative I decided that we would give this school a chance and moved both of my children there this year. I can not say enough good things about this school, both of my children have adjusted to the small setting and have been accepted by their classmates. We have found that one of our children is behind coming from AISD into this school and his teacher has been exceptional with helping him get to where he needs to be. The communication has been great with us and their teachers, if I have had any concerns their teachers have responded with care and understanding. There is a trade off going to such a small school, but the things they have gained are much better than what they have given up.

Treetops is the best decision we could have made for our boys. The classes are small and they are getting the one on one attention they could not get in public schools. I love the communication from the teachers and office staff. I love that I can go up there at anytime and see my kids or have lunch with them. They are happy and learning and that is all I can ask for.

Treetops was not for us. My child just finished his first full week at his new school, and we could not be happier with our decision to leave Treetops. Reading through these reviews, I have to agree with most of the negative ones. Many parents who are seeking a quality education for their children end up leaving this school due to poor leadership, limited enrichment, and a poor curriculum that does not challenge students who are capable of excelling past the state's minimum requirements. However, if you have a child with emotional/behavioral issues or ADHD, this school provides a very conducive learning environment to help guide these students through the school day.

My son and daughter have attended Treetops for several years. I have watched them develop a close but appropriate relationship with their teachers as well as the school director. I love how they are so comfortable with who they are and have taken a real interest in their education. The philosophy of "giving back" that the director continues to foster is from K-12 and makes me a proud parent of the Treetops community. It is a recognized campus that has also continued to make the federal annual progress, something that many schools in the Fort Worth area cannot say.

My boys go to Treetops and we love it! I know they are getting a high quality education. The school is a TEA Recognized school. I love the small classes and the fact that the teachers communicate with me, a parent, so frequently.

As the husband of a teacher at Treetops along with having all 3 of my boys going there, I have been very happy with Treetops. I get to see both sides (teaching & learning) every year. While it s not perfect (I wish it had more extracurricular actives such as sports), my wife loves teaching there as much as my boys love going there. Most of the teachers are good and the administration has been very responsive to any issues that we have brought up. The small classes are great for my boys to get individual attention. I am also proud that they worked hard to bring their rating back up to Recognized this year. Unlike some of the other negative posts, I don t think the school is dirty & love the outdoor feel of the campus. As for the Co-Op hours complaints I saw, I know many private schools require the same on top of your tuition. So consider it as way to give back to your children s education.
