What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, September 5, 2017

My daughter switched from a Friends school halfway through her second grade year. The transition was seamless and due to the kindness and acceptance of teachers and staff, as well as the general school culture. She made friends right away. There are clear, school-wide expectations, and everything is handled with consistency. My daughter receives Gifted Support at the school, and as a teacher myself, I know the qualifications of all educators is stellar. The GS teacher is exceptional and challenges my child in all areas to promote her growth socially, academically, and in a creative capacity. The classroom teachers have been easy to reach and respond to phone calls and emails promptly and thoroughly. The office staff and custodial engineer are completely devoted to the good of the school. They know every student's name, as well as many or most of the parents. The custodian is embedded in the school day with students, and they know him well. He works very hard and genuinely cares for the students and their families. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Aronimink. It is a community that you would be a part of immediately. It is obvious that the teachers and staff love our children, and they partner with us as parents through your child's learning experience. Close Quote

My daughter has been in Aroninmink from 1st to 5th and it has been the greatest experience. The teachers are wonderful, the class size is managable and the principle is involved. With almost 300 kids in the school, the principle remembers all the kids names. The office staff is wonderful and welcoming and very helpful. I wish this was not our last year. My family will greatly miss this school. I wish it went all the way to 8th grade! Close Quote
