Founders has a small classroom environment where you get one on one attention. I love their curriculum, student body, and teachers. The only issue is their increasingly stricter dress code and attempts to lessen individuality.
10/20/2018
My experiences at Founders were vastly different from my public school education and more valuable. My teachers challenged me to practice virtue as a student, contemplate the meaning of justice, write mathematical proofs, and seriously think about the meaning of a good life. Because we are a Charter school, we are short of money and could be more successful if we were paid as much as public schools.
10/28/2017
It provides students with a great education. The teachers are very knowledgeable, and they are interested in the students and their abilities to grasp information. The school is fairly new, so there are still a couple glitches in terms of the school's communication. Overall, Founders has provided me with a good education that I find beneficial to my college readiness.

While I firmly believe in the importance of...

There are over 1000 kids on the waitlist and after five years of trying we finally got into Foubders for the 6th grade. The school is very much focused on liberal arts education and creating a rigorous academic environment. There is an adjustment period for new kids, but the school administration ha...
