Kyffin Elementary School

Wonderful school, we can't praise it more highly. The excellence starts with the school leadership, flows through the teachers and results in an exceptional experience for kids. Safety is definitely a top priority, I also feel that my child is challenged intellectually and has great classmates to engage with. Furthermore there are great extra curricular opportunities including robotics, cooking, chess, dance, etc. Our school is filled with students of diverse background that make a positive impact on the culture of everyone attending. And despite any socioeconomic differences, each student is pushed to reach their greatest potential. Though we had many choices in the area and could have chosen one with top test scores, we knew the quality we would get at Foothills wouldn't be at those schools. We are proud to be a Foothills Falcon family!

Welchester staff have been phenomenal working with my step-kids as they transition to living in a new state and going to a new school mid-semester. We have some behavioral issues with our 8 year old and I can’t say enough about how well the staff/school environment has helped her improve. It’s one thing for a school to be able to support self-sufficient families with a lot of resources, but Welchester goes above and beyond when things in life at home aren’t optimal, their encouragement and support really helps our kids (and my husband and I) thrive during tough transition. We are grateful to have a reliable partner in Welchester for the optimal growth of our children.

We are currently in our 7th year at Free Horizon and have all 3 of our kids attending, all who started in the PK program at 3 years old. Our oldest is in 4th grade this year. We have had fantastic, engaging teachers at all levels and have found the staff to go above and beyond to support both students and teachers. It is a safe and welcoming environment and we plan to be a part of the Free Horizon community for the next several years, until our youngest can complete middle school there.
