Read what parents are saying about Zervas Elementary SchoolExcellent communication from the teachers and principal. The children are pushed academically, but in a way that is nurturing and supportive. The school has an engaged, diverse community. Although Newton is quite a wealthy city, the atmosphere is very neighborhoody and not at all pretentious. Really a loving, dynamic school environment for young children. Plus, the newly rebuilt facility is gorgeous.
Posted by a parent on 9/26/2023The school community is amazing. From the first few weeks of kindergarten, families are given ample opportunities to connect with other parents and students. The PTA is so engaged, but not in annoying overreaching ways- it’s all about fun and community for the kids. The teachers arm warm and caring. Our child loves going to school every morning and feels supported by their teacher.The facility is also amazing. Brand new, clean and bright. These are lucky kids!
Posted by a parent on 3/16/2023This school is mediocre. After the Covid shutdown, we became very aware of the lack of leadership and drive toward excellence. We, our neighbors and our friends all commented that our children completed the school work in about an hour. Every email and every phone call had a tone of low expectations, difficulties and failure. There was not one single comment of making an attempt to succeed. The focus on the upcoming new school year has the expectation that students will be behind academically. I would say that with that attitude, it will come true. We are moving.
Posted by a parent on 5/30/2020Zervas teachers and community have been amazing. My older son has Aspergers and he received all the support he needed to thrive.
Posted by a parent on 8/11/2013Great principal leadership and parent involvement. Very focused on what is best for the child and committed to that. Majority of teachers are excellent.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is our first year at Wellan, and first school experience, and it has been a great year so far. We chose Wellan because of our interest in the Montessori method of education, but also because it felt like more than daycare – it’s truly a school and one our 3-year-old can grow up in for many years. The classrooms are beautiful – clean and bright. Everything is tailored to the children and facilitating their independence (such as child height counters, tables, and shelves, eye level artwork, child size sinks and toilets). They establish great routines and consistent schedules which has even helped with creating routines as home. The communication between families and teachers is great. They are very responsive to e-mails and for the younger children, updates are sent on a daily basis. The curriculum is engaging, and they incorporate seasonal or other relevant topics throughout the year. Parents are even invited to come share on a topic once a week. The feedback from the teachers at parent-teacher check-ins is very thorough.Throughout the enrollment process the staff answered all of my questions and they even accommodated separate tours for my husband and I when our schedules didn’t coincide. I knew what to expect at each step and it was an overall smooth process. As a new parent I have felt very welcomed into the school community, with lots of opportunities to meet other families and the staff. I don’t feel judgement for not being “perfectly Montessori” and in fact they have an educational series just for families and caregivers who want to learn more about Montessori and incorporating it at home. Throughout the year the school and the Parent Association hold many events and activities where you can meet other families or parents. There are “fireside chats” with the head of school, student performances, community service events, and many others. Everyone at Wellan is warm, welcoming, and you can absolutely tell they have a passion for what they do.Parent Review2mo ago - Fessenden School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAt Fessenden School, they put a lot of pride into sleep deprivation of certain students. The subjects were fun at certain times, and required some lengthy written term papers. At Fessenden, I enjoyed the social interaction with other boys, and music and plays were always fun.Other Review9mo ago
