My son is headed to the 4th grade and has been going to Dunbar since pre-k. The building is beautiful and he has had the pleasure of having awesome teachers each and every year. All this school needs is more community involvement and it can go so far.

The teachers and staff provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere. My children both love going to school and are excited about learning! They have a wonderful community around them.

CVMS has been amazing for our family. Our children are truly thriving here. With such caring and dedicated teachers, they receive more individualized attention and are challenged in a balanced, thoughtful way. I only wish the school went all the way through high school! Even so, we feel confident knowing our children are receiving a high-quality education.

Throughout my tenure, I had the unfortunate opportunity to witness concerning issues and a toxic work environment that persistently plagued this institution. Foremost, the recurring problem of delayed payments for staff is unacceptable, and expecting employees to continue working diligently without timely remuneration is highly disrespectful and has caused significant frustration and demoralization among the staff.Moreover, handling conflicts and breakdowns in communication by the head staff is cause for great concern. Instead of addressing concerns and promoting respectful dialogue, there was a dismissive attitude, prioritizing other matters over resolving the issue at hand. This approach only exacerbates tensions within the workplace. Adding to the list of concerns is the apparent mismanagement of resources and questionable relationships between certain individuals. Additionally, the blurring of personal and professional boundaries raises further doubts about the integrity and professionalism of the leadership team.Based on my experiences, I cannot conscientiously recommend The LIFE School to parents seeking a nurturing and supportive environment for their children's education. It is crucial that these issues are addressed promptly and effectively to create a positive and conducive learning environment for both students and staff.
