Notre Dame Academy

This school is really great. I always feel come, and my kids love the school.

Only positive experience! Our child was happy to study at this school! Teachers are true leaders and caring people. They put all their energy into teaching children! The principal of the school greets the children every morning with a smile! This is a real miracle, not a school! Thank you to all teachers and school staff!

Our 7 year old was being bullied by an older child (received actual death threats and physical abuse) and we reported it to the school. The school initially appeared concerned and responsive, but we were very disappointed that the outcome was to pair our child with his bully in an exercise without appearing to have addressed the issue - and later to leave them together unsupervised where the bully recruited a friend to team up on our child. We pulled our child out of the program due to safety concerns. There are issues of understaffing (our child often could not find a supervisor to help him - or one who wasn't too overloaded to care) and very inexperienced poor judgment.

My experience at the International School was awful. They do not support learning differences. The school only use e-books so there are instances when you can't access the software, and I personally didn't like the idea of a young child on an tablet for more than 6 hours. They do not really focus on writing, since they only use computerized testing. The school is not as diverse as they say they are, and they have been many instances of racism, which go as far as black minorities being physically attacked by other students. Some of the teachers have very little experience, and need training on classroom management. My child was quarantining and had to attend virtually for 2 weeks and I would listen in. I found in her math class that 90 percent of the time was spent chatting, as opposed to going through questions. The school does have small class sizes, great arts program, is very clean, and a golf academy. Their students don't seem to go to very good colleges.
