Mount Bethel

Wonderful school with caring educators who believe in their students and in creating a healthy, inclusive learning environment. The school has been wonderful and life changing for my child who has an IEP! Highly recommend!

This is an absolutely terrible school. We went out of our way to move here from elsewhere in the state specifically because of its good reputation, but my child has been subjected to bullying and faces racial discrimination from the teachers themselves. They refuse to listen to a single word my child says—not to mention that they completely ignore emails I send as a parent, even regarding simple questions about field trips.No matter how many times I pleaded with the homeroom teacher, explaining that my child was suffering because other kids were making fun of them for not being able to speak English, the teacher did absolutely nothing. On the contrary, they went so far as to deliberately assign my child a seat right next to the very bully who was tormenting them. This is truly a despicable school. Everyone, please be careful.

One of the area's best kept secrets.

I attended MBCA from K-8th as a student, and now I am a teacher here as well. My experience has been nothing short of extraordinary! This is a very special place with a heart for their students. The skills I learned at Mt. Bethel have carried me throughout my adult life. Working here as a teacher is an incredible experience since admin and families are supportive and nurturing. I can't recommend this school enough!

This school has exceeded all expectations since we enrolled our 3-year-old. It has a fantastic culture and we see how rapidly our son is advancing. Unprovoked, he's told us many times how much he loves his school, and thanked us for moving him the Wood Acres. What 3-year-old says that?
