I am very disappointed with this school. There are staff members that are fabulous, but others that are not. The school has very lofty claims on how they treat children, but they do not deliver on this on a consistent basis, and in fact fall short many times. Close Quote

My two kids love going to school here. It is a very sweet K-5 in the progressive education tradition- lots of project-based learning in which kids use all parts of their brain to accomplish tasks. Small classes, incredibly dedicated teachers, and a true love of children make the Children's School a special place. Close Quote
