My daughter has attended RWCS for 4 years and graduating this year from Roots. My youngest has been in Kinder. this year and will continue until she also graduates in 7 years. This is by far the best school for any child I've ever seen. The student to teacher ratio is amazing as they always get one on one with all students. Their outdoor adventures teach by having the experience!! They always encourage the children to strive to learn more, to do more, and make a difference in the world! I highly recommend Roots and Wings Community School!! (Bus service from all over Taos County is available for all ages) They accept ALL students, gifted, challenged, anyone at all.
