Brush College Elementary School

My son goes here. The teachers, daycare providers and principal are compassionate, engaged and communicate beautifully with parents. I get daily updates, and they are so sweet! Since school started 4 months ago, I've seen drastic improvement in his development and behavior. This is a faith based school and as you can imagine, they don't tolerate nonsense but they do so in a way that is caring, appropriate and that which applies to the age of the student. It's a collaborative effort between parents and staff. My son also has an iminent ADHD diagnosis and they are big on keeping in communication with me to problem solve what works and doesn't work during difficult times. Because of this consistency, he's flourishing! Best decision I have made, sending him here. Zero regrets.

SVDP is a great school with attentive staff and a safe environment for my kids. As a first time parent, I was nervous about my daughter starting school but once I met the staff, I knew she would be in good hands.

The curriculum and small class sizes are great. The overall environment is another story. Many students are railroaded out of this school for not fitting their mold, which is perfect appearing on the outside but lacking character and morals on the inside. There is no authenticity here. We watched it happen many times over. For a Christian school there is a serious lack of Christian behavior and attitudes. Some teachers are great while others are not, but the real problems are with the administrators. They have no tolerance for anyone or anything different and set a tone that creates an atmosphere of bullying from the top down. This school has a corrupted sense of Christianity that highlights the worst of human nature. I’m sorry to say it but we’ve found more Christian love and welcome outside of this school than in it. While you will not see much in the way of physical violence in this school, the discrimination and bullying from staff and administrators is echoed in the favored students. If your children complain of bullying from staff believe them and move on.
