We love Bastian! Great teachers, staff, location, PTA, and more.

As a parent, there is nothing more powerful than watching your child rediscover their confidence and joy for learning — and that’s exactly what this school has given us.Our daughter had a difficult experience at her previous school where she struggled socially and emotionally, especially after being bullied. She became withdrawn, anxious, and lost her enthusiasm for learning. Public speaking or even participating in class was unthinkable. But everything changed after we enrolled her here.This school has created an environment where she feels safe, supported, and seen. The integration of the arts into everyday learning has been an absolute game-changer. It’s not just about creativity — it’s how the arts are used to bring academic concepts to life that has helped her reconnect with learning in a meaningful and joyful way.The highlight of this transformation was her recent end-of-year performance. Not only did she take part confidently, but she also stood in front of a full audience to explain what she had learned through the project. She spoke clearly and proudly. As a parent, I was shocked. This is a child who once wouldn’t speak a word in front of her classmates — now, she’s shining.We are beyond grateful to the staff and leadership for fostering such a nurturing and inspiring environment. This school didn’t just give our daughter an education — it gave her back her voice.

Aspen is an awesome school. The teachers are engaged and communicate well. Very diverse
