My 2E child came here after being unceremoniously rejected by two very well-known and highly respected private schools locally (after they took our money and made false promises). This was our last step before resorting to home schooling. It turns out that my child just needed to be guided and nurtured! These teachers - these wonderful, attentive, caring teachers - brought my child from the brink of disaster to shining success. The staff here takes great care to meet each child where he or she is, and then guide them to where they need to be. They are helping to create fully-formed humans who will be able to contribute positively to our communities. Yes, bumps do happen and not every situation is handled perfectly ... teachers are still human. But this school bends over backwards to accommodate students, parents, learning obstacles and behavior challenges. They stress kindness to students at every step. And from the front office to the classroom teachers, from the principal to the special education department, nearly every adult in the building sincerely wants to help every child. Please believe me when I tell you that money can NOT buy this attitude. It comes from the top down, and is a part of the school's culture. The principal over the past couple of years truly supported and empowered teachers to make great decisions for the kids. I know not every family has the same experience... the key is finding the right school at the right time for your child, and this was clearly the right move for us. There will be a new principal next year, and all signs point to a continued positive future; I would keep my child here through high school if I could!
