All three of my children attended Plato Academy. They loved going to school every single day. It is a joyous child centered environment where my children were respected as individuals. I have never seen a school with a more dedicated , talented , and caring staff. Small classrooms and challenging,developmentally appropriate curriculum made this school the number one choice for my children! I’m also impressed with the success of Plato Academy graduates, both intellectually but more importantly as citizens.
Their mission of “philotimo” which means kindness to others is evident in the school every day. Close Quote
