This is an amazing school. My son is in Kindergarten and started not knowing how to read or write.he now reads on his own, takes spelling test and can write in complete sentences. Every day he is excited about school and I am happy that he will be having this curriculum from k-8. I took off one star because they don't offer after school for all kids who need it, their bus system needs some help and they don't seem to have a physical education class from what i've seen for the lower grades. Despite these small flaws the school is a wonderful place to learn and I am so happy that my son is a student here. Close Quote

My son had some struggles at school since he started first grade, He started at a Public elementary school until the 3rd grade. He never failed a grade, but he always had gaps in math and writing. It seemed that he was just passing the grades but not learning, so we decided to try private school and that year he did worst because of all the gaps he already had. So we kept searching for better environment and learning experience for our son and we found it, CARL ICAHN CHATER SCHOOL. After he started there at fifth grade he had a hard time meeting the demands of the class work at the beginning of the term for at least more then half of the year. He had so many gaps in Math and Writing that we thought he would have to repeat the grade to fill them, however with the great after school program for kids not meeting grade level and our help, my son was able to meet grade level and passed and from then on he has not looked back. He is doing so great this year that is unbelievable, we are so happy for him, and he look so happy too that we really thanks this school for his success. Thank you Carl Icahn Chater School. Keep the great work you are doing with our kids. Close Quote
