E.W. Stokes is a great school, a model PCS at that because of the quality learning environment and teachers it affords us. I also commend E.W.Stokes for its every efforts to involve parents in the kids' learning process.
It is a warm and nurturing educational environment, with a fantastic Principal and staff stretching themselves to make sure every child is getting what they need!
An excellent, longstanding Charter School with one of the only full, French immersion programs for all grades. Great newly renovated facility and dedicated staff.
Most caring principal and staff, completely dedicated to the education and well-being of the children. It is not just a school. It is a home. A place where everyone is happy to go. Children are well prepared to become caring citizen of a multi-cultural and multi-language world.
The school is guided by three core principles: 1. take care of yourself 2. take care of others 3. take care of your community That about says it all.
E.W.Stokes has a great sense of community. The staff and scholars are wonderful. My son enjoys going to school. He is taught in both English and French, has PE everyday and either Art or Music. What more could a parent ask for?
I love EWS because not only does the school provide a great education but also the teachers interact so well with the students. They treat them like family. Thank you!
My nephews attens EWS and they are thriving! Each time I visit I'm impressed by the sense of community and by the dedicated and welcoming teachers. The school has created a diverse, challenging, unique community and curriculum that brings out the best in the children there.
Elsie Whitlow Stokes PCS is staffed with dedicated teachers and administrators who love the children and families they served. Where no entity is an Utopia, Stokes comes very close. I am extremely pleased with their continued efforts to provide a vigorous curriculum supported by a nurturing environment.
The language immersion program is great - my 4 year old is correcting me with my Spanish these days.
They are knowledgeable of their subject matters and communicate the information in a manner that enables the students to grasp what is being taught.
EWS School is a great school because they truly care about inspiring children to be their best self. An atmosphere for strong parent participation is present and welcomed. It is also a community school where methods are implemented to address the childs whole being (physical, cultural, emotional, mental, social). When I attend 'morning line-up', I am reminded that Elsie Whitlow Stokes PCS is truly a special place for children!
Elsie Whitlow Stokes school is a loving, nurturing community that stresses excellence and scholarship. It is a global community of educators, scholars and families from all over the world.
Great learning environment, it's a home away from home. They go above and beyond to ensure children get proper education.
it's a language-immersion Pre-K to 6th-grade school where the children study ALL subjects in both English and either Spanish or French. Seeing my 4-year-old learn to not only speak but begin to think and respond in Spanish has been amazing to me. The teachers at the school are just phenomenal - there's 2 teachers in each classroom, one who focused on English and the other on the target language, and they are some of the most loving, caring, and dedicated folks I've ever seen. The school motto is 'I will take care of myself, of my friends, and of my community,'
