My girls have been going to this school since they were 3 years old. Now, the oldest one is 10 and the other on is about 8. Simply put, I always be indebted to this school, the teachers, and the principal Farah Naz. Everyday, I see something or learn something about my girls...and as parents I know that I can't take credit for it. They have become the wonderful amazing girls they are due to wonderful and nurturing environment this school has provided them.
These days, parents are often distrustful and cautious about their child's teachers. Rightfully so if you listen to the local news. The teachers here have certainly been amazing role models for my girls. I can see them emulate the ones the have come particularly close to.
The principal is alway ALWAYS available to any parents. This is a very diverse school with many parents having limited experience regarding elementary and middle school education in the states. Only this principal can make all parents feel as important voices in the school. She takes every parent's input seriously. Her patience is seen by the students and felt by the parents. She is committed to the school and the students, who hug her when they see her.
My kids have consistently performed superbly academically. The teachers are careful to construct curriculum that are well structured, progressive, and push student to achieve their maximum potential. The communication they have with the parents is amazing...almost smothering. They certainly view children's education as a partnership between teachers and parent. I always know exactly what my children are learning and where they stand...so I can help them as needed. Not only are the doing well with their grades, there excellent performance on standardized tests shows they are getting a top-notch education. In fact, the school consistent excels in national standardized test.
Though I am stressing the nurturing environment and excellent academics, the school has excellent facilities. Modern equipment that is well maintained. A clean and secure setting. A fun playground and athletic area. Great leadership for extracurricular activities and an amazing PTO that provides a great volunteer force to support the teachers, staff, administration, and principal.
The school keeps its tuition amazingly affordable. With costs increasing over the last severeal years, the school somehow figures out way to continue to provide service with only minimal increases in tuition. I am sure that a tuition increase must be in the future because frankly I don't know how the school providing what they do with such an affordable tuition.
Sometimes I wonder how my girls would be at this point if they had not had Everest Academy is an institution for them to grow up and become young girls. That is why we are on the round 1 hours a day taking the kids to and from school. We're in a time where it is tough to find good role models for our children. I am so happy that my girls were able to find them at Everest Academy rather than on youtube. We just had a boy, and I have no doubt when the time comes, we will be sending him to Everest.
