Our experience with CLWS was stellar. After trying two public school options we moved our son to CLWS in first grade and the change was immediate. He was suddenly so much more engaged and energized by school. He attended CLWS from 1st through 8th grade. He is still close to his close group of classmates and his teacher - who was with her students for that entire time. My son became a curious learner - someone who is confident enough to find answers to things he doesn't know. He moves comfortably through the world and interacts with adults easily. He has a strong work ethic. He gained a love of music at CLWS and uses music to regulate often. He will choose the outside over devices 99% of the time. He is resourceful and adventurous and well rounded in his interests. They say that raising a human takes a village - we are so grateful that CLWS has been part of our village and has helped shape the man my son is becoming. Highly recommend this school and this experience.

The school has onsite reading tutors that my child was able to see during the day instead of after school...
