Pleasant Glade Elementary School

We…LOVE…this school. Our kiddos are thriving and they have the best staff and curriculum. They really believe in their kids and foster a great learning environment. We’re so grateful to have both boys at South Bay!

I found this amazing school during the pandemic and it was truly a life changer for our family. After my daughter major struggles with online learning during COVID we found Faith providing in class instruction. Their staff helped me and my daughter discover and then adapt to a dyslexia diagnosis. Although they do not offer a special Ed program the small class size and amazing staff provided catered individual education assistance and accommodation for her. She went from reading 0-10 words a minute to 85 within a year. Her twin brother wanted to try public school this year after 3 years at Faith- he is way ahead of peers and is hoping he can return next year for the wonderful 5th grade program they have! My other son started at Pre School and is now in 1st Grade. I love how communicative his teachers have been and how well they have adapted to the challenges this age group has had due to COVID. FLS have more days in class than my kids in public school and a very active school board and parent support. Although small I find that they really work to provide diverse wholesome experiences for the kids. Their is religion provided but more emphasis on just good values of respect and kindness. I know there are kids with various religious backgrounds that attend and it is always welcoming. Overall their cost is less to many of the programs offered but you get all of what they offer: art, sports, and music. As I have kept in touch with almost all the parents I have heard them note that the time their kids spent at Faith really set a strong foundation for their kids whether a year or they went thru middle school
