My son had some struggles at school since he started first grade, He started at a Public elementary school until the 3rd grade. He never failed a grade, but he always had gaps in math and writing. It seemed that he was just passing the grades but not learning, so we decided to try private school and

After he started there at fifth grade he had a hard time meeting the demands of the class work at the beginning of the term for at least more then half of the year. He had so many gaps in Math and Writing that we thought he would have to repeat the grade to fill them, however with the great after school program for kids not meeting grade level and our help, my son was able to meet grade level and passed and from then on he has not looked back. He is doing so great this year that is unbelievable, we are so happy for him, and he look so happy too that we really thanks this school for his success. Thank you Carl Icahn Chater School. Keep the great work you are doing with our kids. Read less
