Mooseheart Child City and School Inc

My kids are in grades 3 and 5 during the 2021/22 school year and have been attending Goodwin since Kindergarten. We have been very pleased with all aspects of the school - from academics, intervention ('WIN' program, 'What I Need' tailored to individuals), SEL (Social-Emotional Learning), community engagement and clubs/sports. Goodwin is the only elementary school in the district to host a performance for each grade level. Class time is structured to provide small group learning opportunities, challenging gifted students and supporting those who need extra help. Teachers and staff are kind and thoughtful, many of whom have decades of experience. The district supports professional development and over 70% of teachers hold masters degrees. Goodwin has earned Exemplary Status 2 years in a row, meaning it ranks in the top 10% of schools in IL. We feel very fortunate our kids are receiving such a great education at Goodwin.

So far I cannot say enough great things about the school and it's teachers. Our children have had the most wonderful teachers who truly care about their education and I am grateful they are at AGS.

Moose heart is not a great place for kids to be at because the food and the teachers are bad. some of the family teachers are really mean and the teachers a really mean to us kids. They only care about our grades and don't care on how we are doing and they really don['t care on how we feel they only care about what they can do to us. And the school note and point card shouldn't have because moose heart is really trying to take advantage of us .

My son has attended the Montessori Academy for two peaceful, productive years. First preschool and currently first grade (altogether skipping kindergarten). He has thrived in his social and emotional experiences and the learning environment has complemented his learning style. He has been encouraged to pursue his interests and does so independently. He is allowed to learn as much as he wants, on his own, while given the proper guidance to move forward. At age 6 he is an avid and independent reader and is learning division. We are extremely happy with our choice of school.

For those who write that they think there is too much religion at this school. HELLOOOO! It's a Catholic School. If you want something different go somewhere else.
