It's like it used to be when I was a child. They teach lost values like common sense, ethics, striving for excellence and enjoyment/fulfillment

This is NOT an ordinary prep school. Most of these kids are from regular backgrounds and many of their parents go without everything else to send them here. This is how school is supposed to be.

Our children have been at Grandview for several years now and have thrived.

My son attended seventh grade at this school and when he need additional help understanding complex math/algebra the teacher told him to hire a tutor.

The teachers play favorites. If they don't like you they don't treat you very well.

My son has attended Grandview for the past 2 years and just loves it. He prefers the small class size and is glad to not be treated like a just a number, as he had been treated in the large public schools in Palm Beach County. Most students are involved in sports or other extracurricular activities

There is good communication on the part of the teachers and school staff. I love that the importance of community service is stressed and most students participate in volunteer/community service activities such as cleaning up the road, food drives, Hope Tote program, adopting families at holiday time, etc. My only concern is the lack of preparation for standardized testing, which the students will have to take at some point.
