Gold River Discovery Center K-8

My son has been going to St Mel's since first grade. We've had a great experience here. He was delayed in reading, but the teaching at St Mel's caught him up and now beyond grade level and he always has his nose in a book now! He's also had a great amount of social development here. The teacher's have been very encouraging of parent engagement and they do a lot to engage and inform you.

We began at this school when my child was in third grade during COVID, and our experience has been overwhelming positive. The school provides excellent communication, ensuring parents are consistently informed and engaged. Families are encouraged to participate through volunteer commitments, which create meaningful opportunities to be involved in school activities and build connections with other parents. This school maintains high expectations for student behavior and accountability, while also celebrating academic achievements and school sports. I also appreciate the school's dress code, which promotes a neat appearance and reinforces standards that can sometimes feel lost in today's society. Overall, this school fosters a strong foundation of kindness, respect, responsibility, and self-confidence in it's students.
