Alternative Spcl Needs Div Occ

If I had other choices for Montessori middle, we'd take a different path. Since we don't, we deal. We'd choose this one before other options for the particular child, but we may choose other options for our other children.

My daughter is attending this school and I love it! She only went here from the end of April to the ending of the 2013-2014 school year and we had no problems at all. Where as at her old school Tillicum Elementary in Lakewood she was bullied for being mixed and for other stupid little things,Clover Park School district has the worse bus drivers who would argue with my child make racial comments about her name,made her sit in a seat alone and no one was allowed to sit by her ( my child was never bad on the bus either) and once she fell asleep on the bus and they forgot about her....I have had no issues here at all. The peace march was really cool and my child loved it! I think its great they are involving our kids in things that can impact the community greatly! I love this school

I have had 7 kids attend this school within the past 4 years and unfortunately our family has not had the best experience. There are very few caring teachers/staff, parents voices are not heard when it comes to concerns/safety for our children, they don't contact parents regarding issues at school, they don't care about issues the students are dealing with, bullying is tolerated, staff members encourage students to try sexual acts upon other students during school hours if they're unsure of their own sexuality. The list goes on. I do not recommend this school to anyone looking in the area. Please do research before sending your child here.

This is our fifth year at First Presbyterian Church School and we are thrilled with the quality of education, loving and sharp teachers, supportive family community, visionary leadership, challenging and well-rounded curriculum, and character development. Our child is not only learning facts and the standard elementary course of learning, but is also learning how to study, how to think (not just what to think), the importance of character, and the interconnectedness of all that he is learning. We couldn't ask for a better school for our child. We are now huge fans of the classical Christian model of education and would recommend the school to any family looking for a liberal arts-based, faith-centered education for their child. We're excited for what's in store for the school in its next season!

My two began AW in the lower and middle schools and now are in the middle and upper schools. The academics are very rigorous and they don't just hand out good grades! Some kids in the middle school end up matriculating to Bellarmine instead for that reason. But those who can handle the rigor are rewarded with rich learning and super supportive teachers. I'm so happy we chose AW.
