My child has some learning disabilities and is taking a number of extra classes to help him. The Special Ed or 'Resource' department at this school is made up of kind, caring people who are a pleasure to work with. There are occasions when the communication between the resource classroom and my child's

Read more classroom is pretty dismal and he is still really struggling, so I called around to see what services we'd be getting if we went to public school Every school I talked to told me they had nothing that compared to the services he was already getting. I even spoke with the principal of one school and she repeatedly told me she loves EduPrize and it's a great school.

When my 10 year old was due to start Kindergarten I really looked into schools and talked to a lot of parents from Edu-Prize. I never once heard anything negative about it. I love the family friendly atmosphere, it feels like I'm leaving my kids with family when I drop them off, rather than strangers. My son, who is in the 2nd grade, knows the name of every teacher and even the building maintenance people. And they all know his name as well. LOVE this school!! Read less
