Education wise Thurgood Marshall is the best HOWEVER! If your child misbehaves they will become a target by the asst principle.

We love Giddens for our daughter. Since she started in Kindergarten, we’ve watched both her learning community and her own confidence grow. Giddens is a truly special place. It’s an inclusive community of kids, teachers, and families. Each classroom she has joined has supported her whole self.We’re grateful we found this school. We’ve seen real progress in her confidence, reading, writing, and math because of the individualized support she’s received. Giddens is the kind of school children remember as the place where they first learned to love learning.

HAVE YOU HEARD about the Classical Education renaissance! Kids ruminating on 'self' and getting caught up in politics is harmful and hard to get away from in schools these days. SCCS develops thinkers engaged in vigorous and joyous conversation among peers and their non activist teachers. Mastery is cultivated by adults that model respect for boundaries, love of family and importance of parents. Our children enjoy fieldtrips and healthy competitiveness of the SCCS House System. Students observe, try and make mistakes and are driven by the reward that comes from working hard as they develop trust, self-control and the skills to persevere. Great books are read, music is sung, debate is encouraged, art is made, history is valued, science is explored, movement is mandatory, cursive is flowing, math is mastered, theater is performed, service is celebrated and paper and pencil are used. THIS is how children grow up to be productive adults with a confident dose of self awareness.
