I've been at my school for 15, going on 16 years now. I now actually appreciate how it is. Both of my parents work here, and the school is now preparing me for college. It has now had many upgrades and renovations, making it the best I have ever seen!

I've been in garden school since 9th grade and I've never been in such a friendlier and amazing environment. I really enjoy how there's a small community and you just know everybody. I particularly love astronomy class. I have not seen Astronomy in any other school and it's one of the most interesting classes I've been in.

Love the teachers, love the community. Our child is very happy and learning. Did a great job with Covid and keeping kids safe. Lots of fun projects and a focus on getting students into top colleges. They also have an excellent camp. We recommend Garden. It's a great family school.

Our daughter has attended Garden School for a long time and loves her experience immensely. She has great teachers who know her well and challenge her while being incredibly supportive.
