Parent Testimonials
"The staff truly cares about the children and the education they receive. The community that is developed within the school provides a supportive atmosphere where the children are able to grow and develop their social skills as well as academic skills."
—Shellie Madill with her daughter, Ashley.
“The teachers get their students excited about learning, so the kids go way beyond mastering basic skills. The curriculum takes a thematic approach and shows how subjects are related. I love that there is no bell that tells them to suddenly start learning something else.”
—Ellen Bennett with her son, Robbie.
“We love the diversity of learning opportunities at this school. Students are encouraged to study about things that interest them, and that personalized approach leads to higher confidence both socially and academically.”
—Greg Janzow, with wife Kristen, Jack, Nate and Cole.
“I love the hands-on approach to education. They spend a lot of time outdoors. They visit elderly people at a retirement community. It is wonderful to see my child develop excitement about reading, patterns, and even math! The improvements I see in her occur daily. You don’t have to wait a whole semester to see growth.”
—Peter Blair, with wife Nicole, Maggie and Savanna
“If you know this is the best education for your child, why wouldn’t you figure out how to pay for it?”
—Becky Dimick-Eastman, with husband Eric, Ted and Alex
