I have a student in the Welsh Hills Middle School and have been a parent at Welsh Hills for several years now. This school provides an excellent learning environment that helps children develop skills well beyond just memorization of facts. Strong faculty members and small class sizes combine to provide

I also like the 'service learning' programs, helping kids get involved in community service programs beyond just their school learning. I'd enourage prospective families to check this school out first hadn and stop in to visit the Head of School. Read less

Excellent program in the Children's House (PS-K). Beyond that, our children attend the Granvile public schools. There's no real differentiation or value-added to justify the high tuition beyond Kindergarten. As are other parents, we are very concerned about the continuing financial problems that this

Fundraising performance and greater community involvement by the Head and Board appears to be minimal, if anything at all. The school appears to have great difficulty in retaining children long-term, particularly at the Intermediate and Middle School levels. Most parents are just not comfortable with the school's academic foundations and value-added delivery in the 3rd - 8th grade classrooms. There appear to be fundamental leadership issues, also.

The deep financial problems that have plagued this school for over four year have taken their toll on the education quality for the kids here. The lower grade levels through the Children's House are outstanding. The upper grade levels through grade 8 are no better (and in many cases, simply worse) than

For the $10,500 cost, if you're considering private school for your child, you'd be much better off looking at the outstanding Columbus area private schools such as Academy, CSG, etc. who have lower student:teacher ratios, extracurricular activities, an education available through grade 12, 100% college degreed, certified teachers, and much more. This school has a Board that is, essentially dead, an Advisory Board that does nothing but lend their names and cannot fundraise, and a Head who has outlived her useful purpose at this facility.

As parents, we would rate this school as average or slightly above. We definitely do not feel that it does not provide the value-added that you would expect from a private school charging $10K tuition/year - plus addition fees. This school really has no identity nor is it able to clearly differentiate

We started at this school this past April and so far it is excellent. The children are learning to make independent decisions and responsiblity. The smaller class size is also a plus.
