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.

Our experience is very mixed. Overall one of our biggest concerns was that our teen felt their voice and opinions were not always valued. Also, another area I wish we focused on further was understanding more reasons of departure for several staff members at various points. No school is perfect. But for the costs, I do recommend to really understand further beyond the website if this is a fit for your child. In our teenager's case, at times, it did not at all feel like a welcoming environment.

Marvelwood School has helped myself grow not just only as a student but, as an individual. I have learned a lot from attending while using those skills that I have learned towards my everyday life.

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.

This is my son's first year at Marvelwood. He is thriving under individual attention, small class sizes, and unique methods of teaching.

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...
