Private Schools

It's my first school Teachers are really nice

Both of my kids attended Primrose School of Symmes from the time they were 2 all the way through Private Kindergarten. We loved the focus Primrose pays to early childhood education and feel that both the kids got a strong foundation going into elementary school. All the teachers are outstanding and it shows that they love being around kids. The meals are prepared within the center and they even accommodated our request for vegetarian meals for our kids. They have plenty of fun programs too for the kids to participate in (iSpace, Soccer Shots, Tumblebus, Kona Ice, Spring Fling....etc) to name a few. Overall we feel we made the right decision to send our kids here...and strongly recommend the place.

I LOVE Going to school here...so much I've been here since kindergarten.

We are in our second year of schooling at Annunciation Catholic School. We love the diverse ethnicity ratio, cohesiveness of the PTO committee and the dedication efforts of staff. I feel that bullying should be addressed school-wide (perhaps a anti-bully campaign should be put in place) My child was bullied and did not want to attend school, as a parent this is a tragedy. My solution was to get more involved at the school, encourage my child to ignore the child and seek out other parents advice based on experience. Thinking in terms of academia, I would love to see music, art and Spanish increased, even if it means decreasing P.E. In today's society a foreign language is a priority.

Great school with great women in leadership. Great program for young ladies.

My grandson thrived in Ms. P's preschool class. We saw how he thrived and really grew in her class. I'd give her 10 stars. Kindergarten was not a happy year, as there was a bully in the class, which was not addressed. He is sad when he thinks of that year. We had to leave and go to another school. He's in 6th grade now, and an excellent student. He smiles when he remembers Ms. P., however, so we hope she's still there blessing other families.

Wonderful school. Mrs. Bala is a treasured gift to the world of education, and the staff is so kind and caring to all of the children.

Challenging, supportive, innovative - perfect fit for our family! A school where children flourish.

I am in 7th grade at csg and it is my first year. I love it there.

Have three kids there and love this school. These comments above/below are not indicative of this school at all. Most all of the kids at the school are very respectful and I know plenty of parents who sacrifice to send their kids there. Rich or not rich it does not matter the staff and faculty treat everyone with love and respect. If you were to come and watch the kindergarten children walk out, the teachers do an amazing job keeping them in line and under control! This school is a wonderful place!

I attended Laurel School from 1994 to 2008. The teachers and administrators created a safe, supportive and inspiring community in which I was able to learn, grow, and thrive. Laurel was much more than a school to me, but also a 2nd home. I still realize almost daily how my experiences at Laurel greatly influenced my personal values, my desire to support communities and people, my life-long love of learning, and my ways of interacting with the world. I don't think even a 5-star rating is adequate for Laurel School. The value of a Laurel education transcends any material rating. It is an education that does not stop upon graduation, but continues to grow each day in new ways.

Montessori School of Dayton is a truly wonderful community school. My daughters have attended the school for the past four years, and due to the excellence of the school, we plan on both finishing their elementary and middle school years here. My children are so happy with and love their school community and excellent teachers. Montessori is a clear and effective antidote to the problems associated with traditional education, and this school in particular provides a kind and nurturing environment for children to grow and learn in according to their own interests and individual capacities, not the dictates of high pressure testing and relentless progress through curriculum that has little relationship to what is age appropriate for children. The school is a full member of the American Montessori Society, which speaks to the high degree of fidelity to the Montessori philosophy, method and materials that is so clearly evident at the school. Additionally, I feel compelled to mention that the music program is fantastic! In sum, If you are even remotely considering enrolling your child in a Montessori program or private school, then I urge you to make an appointment to visit this outstanding school.
