The Unquowa School is a wonderful nurturing academic environment for children preK- 8th. Children feel seen and hear- are able to take risks and learn in a safe environment. The teachers and staff are amazing and supportive to children and parents. My son went from PreK 4 through 8th grade at Unquowa and it is the best gift we could have ever given him. He is now a freshman at Suffield Academy and thriving thanks to the amazing foundation he had at Unquowa.

My kids started here five years ago and we are still in the honeymoon period. If you want a wholesome environment in which kids can truly thrive, an environment that offers nurturance as well as real academic challenge, and that understands an inclusive diverse community is an invaluable part of an education, this is the school for you. It takes a village; I am so glad we have found ours.

Not to be dramatic but Unquowa changed our son’s life. As our son approached middle school we thought he could use a different environment than that being offered through the public school. After three years at Unquowa, the change in his approach to school, learning and social activities is remarkab...
