I feel so lucky to have found a wholesome place for my children that not only provides a safe, happy environment but also challenges my kids intellectually and creatively. I see life skills developing here from self advocacy and advocacy for others, to perseverance, grit and the confidence to think outside the box. It is such a comfort, as a parent, to drop my children off at place that I know they will not only be well cared for, but also helped to thrive and become their best selves.

No one in a leadership position at this school is genuine. They will talk about families and children in horrible ways behind closed doors. They do not care about the whole child. Unless you are an employee willing to do anything to fit in including bullying children you will be passive aggressively pushed out. Teachers who care are not appreciated by administration. Leadership forms cliques worse than the children. This school could be great but are too defensive to make any real change where it's needed.

I absolutely love Sharon Lauer and the teachers...

As a former teacher I would not send my children to this school. It is poorly run and it is an unsafe environment. It looks beautiful from the outside and the web. Like social media, the marketing dept presents the sunny side. But it’s not a bed of roses. I have seen children bullied relentlessly wi...

Choosing Unquowa has easily been the best parenting decision my wife and I have made. We have two children attending the school, and despite their differences, Unquowa has embraced and challenged them both in ways that suit their individual needs. The school’s approach feels tailored and intentional...
