Linus Pauling Middle School

We’ve had a wonderful experience at Ashbrook! The teachers are caring, dedicated, and truly passionate about helping every child succeed. The staff creates a warm and welcoming environment where students feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. We transitioned our son out of daycare early to start at Ashbrook's preschool program, and are so thankful we did- he has grown exponentially in the past year! He is being taught real world solutions, how to trust himself and rely on himself, and we parents have been given tools and insight to making him a more confident and competent kid. The school offers a great balance of academics, creativity, and character-building. From engaging classroom lessons to fun extracurricular activities, our child looks forward to going to school (mostly) every day. Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel informed and involved.We’re so grateful to be part of a school community that truly puts children first!

My sons and daughter go to early education here. Waldorf has been a great blessing for our family. At our preschool and elementary ages, I've found their emphasis on regular daily routine very helpful. Each day includes free play, artistic work, circle time, outdoor recess, and practical tasks (like cooking, cleaning, and gardening). Also, they believe strongly in little to no screen time. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't like the changes that have been made in the public school system.
