A Seminole County Virtual School

We love our school! Teachers are incredible and admin has always taken any and all concerns seriously. Lots of ways to get involved

My son was assaulted in the 2nd week of school, twice. Has marks on his face from being slapped. Faculty made up a story the first time someone put hands on him, and have no answers when I disagree. Then the next morning hes slapped in the face by another student within the first 20 minutes of class. Bully culture here is encouraged. Faculty turns a blind eye. Principle is nowhere to be found.

We have had a truly wonderful experience with Woodlands Elementary School in Longwood, and I am very grateful for the positive impact this school has had on our daughter and our family.From the beginning, the entire staff has been welcoming, friendly, and supportive. Every morning during drop-off and every afternoon at pick-up, staff members were kind, organized, and respectful. Those daily interactions may seem small, but they made a big difference in creating a warm and safe environment for both students and parents.Whenever we had questions, concerns, or special arrangements regarding who would pick up our child, the staff were always cooperative, understanding, and helpful. Their communication and willingness to work with families made us feel supported and confident that our child was in good hands.The school also does a wonderful job creating a positive community atmosphere. The events and activities organized by the school were enjoyable, thoughtful, and helped families feel connected. One thing that stood out to me was seeing the principal personally greeting students in the mornings. That personal touch says a lot about the school’s culture and the care they show toward the children.I would especially like to recognize Mr. Gaughan, our daughter’s kindergarten teacher, who is honestly one of the best teachers I have ever encountered. His teaching style, patience, knowledge, and genuine care for his students were truly exceptional. He had a remarkable ability to make learning engaging, exciting, and meaningful for young children.He didn’t just teach academic subjects; he helped students develop discipline, responsibility, confidence, curiosity, and respectful behavior. It was clear that he cared deeply about helping each child grow, learn, and succeed. As a parent, I could genuinely see how much effort, dedication, and passion he brought into his classroom every day.Watching my daughter’s growth, excitement for learning, and happiness about going to school was one of the most reassuring and rewarding experiences as a parent. We are incredibly thankful for everything Woodlands Elementary School and Mr. Gaughan done for our child.I highly recommend this school to families looking for a caring, supportive, and positive learning environmen

This school has the most unprofessional front office receptionist and administrators Ive ever experienced. They are extremely rude and unkind when it comes to family engagement. Being that this is the first impression of the school outside of appearance, you would think they would get their act together. Would not recommend. And they also try to make it hard for minorities to enter here as well all while having minorities working for them. Its ridiculous. 0/10

As a parent of both a middle school and a high school student at One School of the Arts & Sciences, I can say this school has completely exceeded our expectations. What first drew us in was the strong academics, but what has kept us here is the way the school develops the whole child.The teachers genuinely know and care about my children. They challenge them academically while also investing in who they are becoming. I've watched my kids grow in confidence, learn to think critically, take ownership of their learning, and develop a stronger faith. I wish I could've attended a school like this when I was young! One of the things I appreciate most is that One School isn't trying to fit every child into the same mold. Whether your child loves the arts, engineering, leadership, athletics, entrepreneurship, there are meaningful opportunities to discover and develop their unique gifts.The culture is something really special. Scholars are respectful, relationships matter, and there is a genuine sense of community between families, teachers, and administration. Communication is consistent, and it's clear that leadership is always looking for ways to improve and innovate rather than settling for what's always been done.As my children have moved into middle and high school, I've been impressed with the increasing level of academic rigor and the intentional preparation for college, careers, and life. No school is perfect, but if you're looking for a school that combines strong academics, Christian values, creativity, innovation, and a community that truly cares about your child, I highly recommend One School of the Arts & Sciences.

Amazing school with the sitter of the scholars in mind. Developing leaders with real life skills! I am so proud to be involved with such a caring community for every scholar. The scholars are challenged with a vision of becoming who they are really meant to be. The goal of making every child feel safe, supported, and excited about learning.

Our family loves this school and their staff!
