Ok but needs a lot of improvements…. Better assignments for actual grade level, more organized, better solutions from staff for parents questions…,

Excellent experience at this school for my special needs 1st grade daughter and pre-school son. Their lives have been enriched greatly by their attendance and experiences at Lake Otis Elementary School.

I have two children who attend the Anchorage Waldorf School. We absolutely love it here. The faculty are very welcoming and compassionate - they are willing to work with me and hear me when I have concerns. There are so many things I love about this school. The biggest thing is, I know that this school is the best place for my children - they are loved, they are cherished, they get to have fun while learning, and be their creative authentic selves. Another great thing is that the school is affordable. I searched the entire United States for a private Waldorf school that I could afford; they have an amazing financial aid program that charges you based on your income!! We love it at AWS!!

We've brought our 2 kids to Starbright for a couple of years now from ages 2 through 5. Do not let the neighborhood mislead you.. this place is excellent. Experienced teachers that build relationships with your kids and as parent I get a ton out of chatting with teachers at pick-up. Not ONCE have we had a weird/bad experience. There are many folks here that have been a very positive/constructive influence for our kids over the years and I wouldn't limit the 5 stars to one particular classroom or teacher. Starbright also strives to stay open even when ASD closes for remote learning days which is super helpful with little ones. We are extremely happy that we decided to enroll our eldest in Missy's kindergarten class here. She is one of those rare teachers folks use in those password hints "what was name of your favorite teacher in your whole life?" Also Starbright is recently under new ownership and after experiencing both the old and the new, I can say they haven't lost a beat. The new owner/director (also) Missy is awesome. Bring your kids to Starbright and upgrade your life.
