The best part of my experience so far is the way they do their education. The small class sizes help with more individual learning, which is really helpful to me. The worst part of my experience might be part of the community. They tend to turn a blind eye to people who are doing drugs or alcohol and it can get damaging to other people.

Marvelwood's faculty is fully accessible to students. There is a wonderful student-teacher relationship and lots of experiential learning. Students are supported at Marvelwood in every way: academic, social, mental health, and future goals. The environment feels like a family. Parents are always kept up to date and can always reach someone if need be.

Our son get a chance to thrive there: he picked school - they are warm, especially needed kids whom might need smaller class size. They have a lot of support for kids and have also have fun activities year around.

The Marvelwood School is a great school. Teachers are patient and helpful. My son has only come to this school for half a year. He is thriving with the support of the customized program.

My son attended Marvelwood - unfortunately only for his senior year - we so wish we had found Marvelwood years before. He had the most positive experience for his high school years. The students, faculty and staff were all supportive, kind and engaged. They managed the distance learning so effective...
