My daughter fits in so well at The Nora School -- teachers are attentive -- push her - understand her needs and are willing to work with her. the students are accepting - kind and the pace is right -- she is challenged and encouraged and has successes and difficulties -- but she feels she is in the right place.

Nora is a great school. My son had a very difficult time in a large public school and a private school. But since he came to Nora things changed gradually. He's now much happier and motivated. Academically he's also doing much better. The school is not judgemental. They give students space to grow i...
