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.

The Nora School is a place where the individual needs of students are taken into consideration in creating educational programs to support their learning. A real community exists at the school, and creates an environment where all students can learn and achieve.

The Nora School allowed me to think differently and comprehend my own style of learning. Personally, I think a school with a small and environment and class size makes it a lot easier to get around and conversate with different people. I can officially say that I'm more than ready for college and it's all thanks to this wonderful school.

The classes are small- so very teacher knows each student well, and are open to supporting the student when he...

A student-1.Treat u like a baby2. Supposed to be a bully free place there is still bullying3. Head of school makes everyone in the school every morning sit in the hallway for 8 min doing mindfulness and being dead silent.
