My kids started here five years ago and we are still in the honeymoon period. If you want a wholesome environment in which kids can truly thrive, an environment that offers nurturance as well as real academic challenge, and that understands an inclusive diverse community is an invaluable part of an education, this is the school for you. It takes a village; I am so glad we have found ours.

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.

This school is trying to keep its head above water. It has poor administration and lack of consistent follow through. if you can afford to donate a lot of extra money to the school your family will be treated with kid gloves albeit at the expense of other students. Academics are lackluster.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. Not only is my daughter thriving academically, but she is also so intellectually curious, genuinely excited to go to school, and making amazing connections with other kids across all grades. 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...
