We have been at Aurora for 6 wonderful years, with 2 more to go. Aurora has been the perfect fit for our family, and our children. The staff is encouraging and support, always. The students are encouraged to be independent thinkers, to challenge, as well as to be kind and inclusive. Both of our children love to learn, are voracious readers, and hate to miss a day of school. It's a small setting, with a lot of individual care & attention.

Our children have thrived at Aurora. Each is quite different from the other and each considers it "their" school and not simply the school their parents have chosen for them. Individualized education at its progressive best!

I was at Aurora for all six years that I possibly could have been there; kindergarten through 5th grade. I could never thank Aurora enough. I was sent to Abbie's office a total of 10 times in my time at Aurora. It got better by one each year, four times in kindergarten, 3 times in 1st grade, twice in 2nd grade, once in 3rd grade, and finally, 0 times in 4th grade. I have never been sent to the principal's office ever since 3rd grade. Aurora changed me from an active and energetic bully, to the kind, smart, and caring person I am today. At my middle school, I met people with similar problems to me. They came from public schools so they didn't get changed like me. But I bet that the private middle school we're at will change them the way Aurora changed me. No matter what, I will always believe that Aurora is the best school in the world.

Our family has been part of the Aurora community since my oldest daughter entered Kindergarten 6 years ago (and our younger daughter is now there as a 2nd grader). We *love* this school!! The staff are universally amazing -- intentional, caring, philosophically aligned (i.e. strong believers in progressive education), passionate about education. The parent community is wonderful as well -- welcoming, full of support for all different kinds of families, loving towards their kids and each other. Classes are small, there is an amazing array of “specialist” classes (art, music, yoga, woodshop, Spanish, P.E., library, computers), and the mixed grade classroom structure is simply magic! (K/1 is combined, as are 2nd/3rd grade, and 4th/5th grade) The younger kids learn from and look up to the older kids, and the older kids get lots of opportunities to practice being kind teachers and leaders. Finally, Aurora has been teaching a strong socio-emotional curriculum since its inception in 1988 -- they are experts at this, and I am always impressed by how much more emotionally aware my kids are as a result of this (they teach actual “tools” to help kids deal with feelings and conflicts with friends -- something I wish more grownups would use!!). Aurora is not exactly geographically close to us, but it has been an incredibly wonderful experience for our family -- totally worth the commute!

The teachers are very nice and caring, it's not super stressful, the activities are fun, the teachers help with friendship issues. - Nicholas, 4th grader
