Serene Hills Elementary School

LWE is essentially a ‘private’ school in a public district. It is smaller of the LTISD Elementary schools making it the most desirable in the area. Everyday the teachers have music playing when the kids pull up, they pour into the kids beyond what I’ve seen elsewhere because I volunteer and see what all they do. There will always be 1-2% of kids that aren’t what you want your kids around, however for the majority it is an amazing school! There is a reason people move into this elementary district from others in the area just to send their kids here.

This school is truly a special place. Led by the owner, Meghan, the staff and teachers genuinely care about each and every child, creating a culture of support and dedication that can be felt throughout the school. From the warm, engaging environment to the way learning is thoughtfully woven into fun, it’s clear how deeply the teachers and staff love and support their students. Each year, parents feel sad to say goodbye to their child’s current teacher—only to discover that the next teacher is just as amazing, engaging, and invested.Our kindergartener initially attended public school, where nearly 100 kindergarteners made the experience overwhelming for him. Three months into the school year, we made the decision to switch, and it was one of the best choices we’ve made. The small class sizes and personalized learning approach at The Magnolia School have truly made a world of difference. For the first time, I can confidently say that my child loves school.Class sizes are intentionally small, allowing for individualized learning that simply isn’t possible in a public school setting. If a child is excelling in a subject or needs additional support, they can move up or down as much as two grade levels in individual subjects. Gifted and Talented services were not handled well at our public school—while my child excelled in math, his reading lagged behind. At Magnolia, his reading quickly improved through targeted instruction and even smaller breakout groups.Whereas we were once told our child would be “fine” in public school, he is now truly thriving—and, most importantly, he loves learning.

Great school/community. It’s been amazing to watch our daughters bloom since they’ve been there.

Abercorn International School in Austin, TX is an extraordinary school. I know the leaders and owners of this organization and they are people of great integrity. This is reflected in all aspects of their facilities and curriculum - in their course of studies, which is current and in keeping with the demands of a global focus and community, in the facilities themselves which are state of the art and designed in a way that is joyfully encouraging learning and, of course, in the healthy meals provided by Whole Foods. My son will soon need to choose a school for his children - I will enthusiastically recommend Abercorn International to him! I support the values demonstrated by this fine educational institution as they provide a much needed perspective if we are to continue to thrive in ever growing global opportunities.

We have had 3 grand children go to Lupine Lane and they have had an extremely rewarding and enriching experience. I recommend the school to all parents with preschool age children
