12/17/2024

Well I love this school so far. I feel like it's meeting my son exactly where he needs to be and I feel like he can learn anything he wants to. I love the size of the classes and I feel like the teachers are more than involved. There isn't a lot I would change honestly. Sometimes it feels like there is a lot of required parent involvement. But I also kind of value that as it helps to create a community around the students. Sometimes it just feels like a lot with having a busy schedule. Also the cost is a factor in my life. And we're getting pretty good discounts so overall looking like a great investment for my child. I just wish this was the way all schools are run

I would not recommend this school for early childhood education or elementary school grades. The administration cycles through staff, communication is poor and there is a general sense of disorganization. Your child's education is completely depended on teacher assignments and for elementary school,...

We believe our kids’ first experiences into the world of education is so important in setting the groundwork for the love of learning and becoming independent in a new way for the first time. Choosing the right school for your child feels like a big, impactful decision.As a new family to SMWS, we ha...
