This school does not teach enough academics, discipline. They do a lot of arts, theater and fun but not very useful stuff...Students hardly get homework and never get grades. There are many students with special needs here. The campus is not great either, the building needs TLC and some major cleaning.

My son attended a suburban public school then came to Cobblestone in 3rd grade. It was a great change!

My son attended Cobblestone School from K-8 and recently graduated and moved to another school with a reputation as a 'college prep' school. We were a bit concerned about the additional rigor required with the move both to High School and to a more traditionally academically focused environment. Our

The student focused and integrated approach to learning that occurs at Cobblestone School really seems to be the right approach up through the middle grades. The small class sizes lead to many close friendships and the requirements for individual 'research' and presentation to peers and parents really helps prepare students to interact with others. Kids think of their teachers as friends and someone who is helping them learn. What a great environment for a young learner! Read less

I am so happy that my daughter has the opportunity to go to a school as wonderful as Cobblestone! This is a school that translates the love of learning into high academic results.

She just enjoys it and wants to practice it in the car, during breakfast, and wherever . I doubt she would be so enthusiastic about math, if she were just learning it in order to pass a standardized test. Cobblestone also provides a caring community and my daughter is always happy to go to school and comes home smiling. I recommend the school to anyone who wants their child to love learning. Read less
Cobblestone is the only school in the Rochester area that encourages students to not only be actively involved in their learning, but to assume control of their learning. Cobblestone' s curriculum is integrated and provides for in-depth study of various fields and topics. Students develop outstanding

Also, because all students are given many opportunities to present and display their knowledge, talents, and skills, they become very self-confident and articulate public speakers compared to their public school counterparts. One has only to attend the plays or student research presentations to realize what a wonderful place Cobblestone is. Also truly special about Cobblestone is the recognition that students learn differently. Teachers and administrators embrace a 'one mind at a time' philosophy while also promoting a strong sense of community. Cobblestone does what all schools should do - help students meet their full potential as individuals and community members. Read less
