Grant K-8

I can't say enough great things about this school. The principal, Lynn Crockett, is such an asset-- her rich background in STEM combined with her foundation in education and childhood learning is amazing. She actively cultivates dialogue with the parent community to push the best outcomes--academically and socially-- for all her students. The Viking community is warm/engaging with lots of opportunities to come together. There are also an abundance of after-school and in-school activities that make this a great place for my child to grow and thrive all around-- academically, socially and in many other ways. As a side note, we are not a religious family but have always felt completely comfortable in this welcoming and open environment. I have appreciated the lessons on kindness, environmental stewardship, social justice and other topics my child has gleaned through religion class that have served as a wonderful jumping off point for dinner and car trip conversations.I highly recommend this school and look forward to next year when both my children will attend.

Our son went to this school from age 4 to 8 and our daughter has been going from age 3 to now (almost 7). We plan to keep her at MSSD through 1st or 2nd grade before she ages out and we go to our neighborhood public school. We have been absolutely thrilled with the level of care and quality of education at this school that we have seen since Fall 2018 through Spring 2025 and have nothing but positive things to say. Admin used to be more paper based but this year they switched to using Brightwheel for communication and sign ins, and we only love the school and it's teachers more for it.
