The Unquowa School is a wonderful nurturing academic environment for children preK- 8th. Children feel seen and hear- are able to take risks and learn in a safe environment. The teachers and staff are amazing and supportive to children and parents. My son went from PreK 4 through 8th grade at Unquowa and it is the best gift we could have ever given him. He is now a freshman at Suffield Academy and thriving thanks to the amazing foundation he had at Unquowa.

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.

While Unquowa has some positive elements, there are some questionable practices that perhaps align with the the current "everybody gets a trophy" culture. For example, students who are unable to complete a test during the class period are given several hours of additional time and end up with perfec...

We have two daughters at Unquowa, one in kindergarten and one in first grade, and after exploring many options (including our well-rated public school, several independent schools, such as Green Farms, Foote, Fraser Woods, and others) we found the ideal balance of academic rigor and socialemotional...
