Childrens Discovery Academy

We have had our two kids in MN Waldorf for 5 years now. I can't stress enough how important and valuable MN Waldorf has been for their development, especially in these past two challenging years. It is an extremely nurturing environment, partly a product of the small class sizes, but also because of how Waldorf education focuses on empowering each individual child and building confidence. Instead of using and thinking about screens, they are learning to knit, craft, set the table, story tell, garden, and on an on. The result is curious, capable, confident kids.

I am forever grateful I made the decision to send my son to St. Jerome. The teachers get to know each child and their unique styles. My son struggled academically the first few yrs due to learning disabilities. The teachers and administrators helped to create a unique plan and creative adaptive techniques. Each semester his test scores and retention improved. They know him personally, which is a huge advantage a small school and low teacher student ratio can provide. The focus is progress based pin on individual level.I am thrilled with the progress I have seen in my son, academically, spiritually, and personally. The strength of character of the students and staff is unlike any I have seen at an elementary level school!

It's been perfect! The school rating on this site is wrong. Our kids are both exceeding state standards in reading and math. The parent reviews are what pushed us to Harambee and we couldn't be happier. The year round calendar is awesome as well. Perfect for traveling.

The front desk person is very kind and helpful at the elementary school. There were some racial remarks made by a student but the staff looked into it and my child wasn’t suspended but the bully was and my child was the minority.
