I love this school. My daughter is thriving in it. I plan to keep her there until she graduates. The campus is gorgeous, the teachers are wonderful, the administration really cares and has a plan for everything. They are the type of administration that looks out the next 20 years and knows what they want and plans accordingly. I can only imagine the school will get better as the years progress.

Le Jardin has a good location and nice nature. The IB program is definitely rigorous, and sometimes the teachers are there to support, but other students do not always put a lot of effort in. The diversity is not great, and school lunches are $8 or more. But, overall, the IB program is a great opportunity to gain a global understanding, and there are lots of opportunities for experiential education.

Le Jardin is a small private school located near an up and coming town. The courses offered are rigorous and contribute to college application processes positively. As it is a small school there aren't as many extracurriculars or sports.

My kid enjoyed it, but opted for a different program the following year as it wasn't worth going back to over other options. There are just as good, if not better programs elsewhere, that are also more cost effective. There are even some top rated public and charter schools in the area. This school...

In my opinion, students' experience at Le Jardin is largely what they put into it. I have been attending LJA since kindergarten and am now in high school. Academically, I have always loved LJA. I appreciate that they teach critical thinking skills instead of just memorization. Students have a lot of...
