Summary: Great PTA that fundraises to add additional financial support to the school Twice-exceptional students who need social-emotional support and to be challenged academically IB School that focuses on more than just academics but also critical thinking and other IB attributesMy oldest started preschool at Semper in 2017; my youngest is finishing up 2nd grade. I am so grateful that we have 3 more years at this school. The staff works hard to create a welcoming, supportive, and student-focused community. The PTA is a great place to be involved. There's an effective partnership between teachers, administration, and parents working together to put the students first. This year they have exceeded their fundraising expectations which will allow valuable financial support for the school during these awful budget cuts. My kids are twice-exceptional and Semper has done an excellent job recognizing their strengths and their unique learning needs. The staff has worked hard to help them feel understood, challenged, and emotionally supported. We have been especially impressed with the school’s social-emotional learning (SEL) staff who have helped build confidence, self-awareness, and resilience in them as well as celebrating their academic achievements. Semper is an International Baccalaureate (IB) school. This means they encourage curiosity, critical thinking, global-mindedness, and meaningful inquiry-based learning. This helps students not only grow academically but also develop compassion, independence, and a love of learning.I truly can’t say enough good things about this school. I admire the newer administration who has brought a fresh perspective to the school and has made a meaningful difference for my family.
