We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have two children at this school (2nd grade and kindergarten). They have both been offered opportunities for gifted and advanced learning and come home happy and brimming with knowledge every day. They enjoy recess, art, and reading time in the gorgeous new library. My husband and I are very happy with the challenging curriculum at Hampden and the excellent quality of the teaching.

We love Hampden EMS. We love that the teachers love the school and want to stay year after year. Hence the high retention rate. We also love how receptive the school is to feedback and willing to make adjustments. My son loves going to school and is learning so much!
