This school really walks the walk when it comes to gifted education and the whole gifted child. They place the child wherever they are ability-wise. They try new things all the time to improve on their model. Their teachers are compassionate and involved. They put so much effort into facilitating the community. Kids can be who they are here. We're so fortunate this school exists.

We're so glad we found Herberger for our kids. The teachers are phenomenal and goes out of their way to support the students. The students are diverse, bright, and a good influence on our kids, we're glad they have formed such great friendships. The parent community is also exceptional, I don't think you'll find a place with such caring and involved parents. Moreover, we love that they offer so many activities after school and give each student the opportunity to be creative and innovative.
