Beaver Lake Middle School

SnoSprings is an incredible school! I have 2 kids who go here and they are very different in personality. That said, both of them LOVE SnoSprings so very much - they love going to school, they love learning, they love all of the staff and the community. It is a school that TRULY stands out in how they care for kids. Every staff member is caring and kind and invested in the kids. There is very little group mentality and instead, each kiddo is celebrated for who they are and how they learn. They emphasize kindness which infiltrates the whole school. My kids come home giddy from their day at school and consistently talk about how much they are learning and how much fun they are having. I've watched both of my kiddos grow in independence and confidence since attending SnoSprings. The principal is very communicative, easy to talk to about anything, very organized and welcoming to parents. I would HIGHLY recommend this school. What a joy it has been for our life and continues to be a bright light for our family.

We have 2 kids in Arbor. Older kid started in the Primary program and will continue on to rising-K (kindergarten) program next year. Younger is a year in, mostly in the toddler program and now graduated into the primary program. We love it here as do our kids. Teachers, after care providers, and the staff are all very invovled and responsive.

Eastside Community School is an amazing school where my family has been for seven years. I grew up in a private Catholic school and my husband went to public school. We each had our own ideas of what school should look like. We hadn’t heard of Waldorf education, and it has changed our entire approach to learning and parenting as well. Our kids are thriving at ECS. It’s a place where they are allowed to be kids and not overwhelmed by the stresses of adult life and expectations. At ECS the kids are given ample time outside and physical engagement throughout the day, so their minds can learn because their physical needs are being met. The approach is holistic but with social emotional development at the center. ECS is screen free and encourages homes to be as well. That was honestly difficult for my family at first but has changed our lives in such a positive way. My kids are social, inquisitive, imaginative, healthy and most important happy. They are thriving at ECS and I wish that for all kids.
