Ithaca College

The best program is reading. Everyday bear folder has new books to read.

In comparison to other elementary schools of the ICSD, BJM is a truer reflection of inclusion and cultural diversity. If you want your child to learn how to appreciate difference in gender, race, socioeconomic status, ability, and be exposed to a myriad of ways of thought, I would encourage you to consider this school.

South Hill has provided a great educational and social experience for my kid in the two years we've been there. Classes are small, teachers are committed, there is a great number of aides supporting teachers, and there is good social-emotional support. We have experience some minor level of bullying that has been addressed strongly and assertively by leadership, including direct involvement of the Principal who is very approachable and involved in all school matters. Infrastructure is great, there are plenty opportunities for parent involvement as well, and the school is generally well run.

I suppose parent experience really depends on preferences and expectations. I want my kids at a school that emphasizes whole person development and where the teachers are clever, resourceful, compassionate and highly engaged.That is what I am experiencing at EACMI.

What a great experience we had with Immaculate Conception (at least during the one year that my son spent in PreK). We had to move out of the state and Immaculate conception is still in my and my son's memories.

We have been at IWS for three years now and have found it to be a wonderful school. Our son loves it there and his teachers are very dedicated and experienced. It is a great community and we are grateful to be a part of it!
