Marshall Simonds Middle School

I have 2 kids in the school, and have found our experience outstanding. The teachers are engaging and work hard to inspire the students. Both of my kids have decided they want to go to college and have technical careers, which I think is great. The school offers many programs, which my kids have tried several. This includes sports clubs, robotics clubs, business clubs and many more. Ove 100 mentioned at our orientation. The school has been active in preparing kids for SAT exams, and providing opportunities for learning sessions for various colleges.I find the social environment great. The school embraces all different cultures and makes an effort to make everyone feel welcome. My kid comes home and share new things about many different friends that are from different countries and/or have different religions. It's wonderful to see they're all kids with similar interests. Glad we moved to Burlington.

OBA has been a blessing! Prior to sending our kids here, we homeschooled, so we were looking for a school that could gently bring them into a school setting as well as challenge them academically. We also wanted a school that taught and demonstrated God's love for the kids. All of these goals have been met and then some. The kids love their teachers and we have had great communication with the teachers and administration. The student to teacher ratio allows the teachers to closely monitor student progress and help whenever needed. The music program is great, too. All of my kids sing their school songs around the house and my 11 year old son has volunteered to sing one of his songs as a solo at our church. We highly recommend OBA, especially for those homeschooling moms who are ready to make the hand off.

My Child started kindergarten at Mount Hope and I can't be happier. I heard about good stories about mount hope prior to sending him there, but they exceeded my expectations in all ways. Teachers are awesome and loving and caring. All admin staff are well informed, educated and dedicated! Lunch is delicious and nutrious with a reasonable cost. He happily reported that it is better than top notch restaurants he's eaten before. I can see my son growing intellectually, socially and spiritually every day!
