I love Roots PCS because it has excellent teachers and high academic standards.
ROOTS teaches children respect for others and learning, it makes everyone feel like family, we are all envolved with our childs education.
I love Roots PCS for so many different reasons, but the main reason is the concern for my childrens' education.
Roots PCS provides strong academics as well as an african centered approach to learning. The environment is filled with hands-on materials available for child to expore and investigate. My son did very well in this open space multi-age leveled school.
I looooooooooove Roots because it reinforces the foundation i've set for my girls, the 'know thyself', thy BLACK self and to be proud of it.
The curriculum meets the needs of African American children. The success of the children is a reflection of the school.
My children receive a great education they learn about there culture, have wonderful teachers, and it feels like one big family.
I love the family atmosphere and the enthusiam to teach.
It's a school dedicated to educating well rounded children who are culturally aware. It's family oriented and a safe place for children to go.
My son first attended Roots ALC and he fell in love with the staff. I fell in love with the mission of the schools: to empower young, African boys and girls with a strong sense of heritage and community. My son is currently enrolled in the pre-primary class where he enjoys academics with his peers, who are grouped by ability and not just age. I especially appreciate how they accommodate the dietary restrictions of the vegan/vegetarian children.
