This school is not for children that have IEP. The staff and teachers have zero training on accommodations that children with disabilities may require. Be ready to advocate for your children. The special education teachers are quick to recommend medications when in reality they are the ones that need up-to date training on special education. The teachers arent trained to implement IEP with integrity. They base their decision on personal feelings rather than whats best for the student. The staff and teachers are unwelcoming. It is not an inclusive school at all. They also share information about your children with other parents which is very unprofessional.

Parents beware, this school is only good for neurotypical children but for children with disabilities this school is too limited and doesn't offer support. We had an awful experience. They tend to spend the minimum sources for children with disabilities and keep them in an non inclusive secluded environment which is detrimental for them to thrive. Not to mention that the teacher turnover rate is very high.

So far, my child and family love this school; my child can’t wait to go to school everyday; that says a lot about the school. He also loves his teacher

At first, PWA seemed to be promising. However, poor leadership and an absent owner has been the demise of this school. Leadership has undermined parents and their envolvment; while also blatantly lying about important information. The only positive is that teachers do go over and beyond for the students, but with limited support from admin. The admin likes to give text book Chat GPT answers to quiet the parents. They like to pretend like they have the answers, but fall short with coming up with results and solutions. They rave about curriculum, but you can get better in a neighboring school. Until the admin and owner truly do and care about their jobs, and stop lying to parents; I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. The fact that you have great staff walking out 3 weeks before school ends shows how much they value their staff. They are about the money!!! That's it! Tuition is twice what you would pay at another private school. But, teachers are buying their own supplies, there is never any soap or toilet tissue in the bathroom, and my child constantly got sick from the lack of cleanliness of the school. This school is a prime example of how poor leadership can outweigh amazing teachers. It truly is sad. The dishonest nature of this school was very disappointing.
