Private Schools

We enrolled our daughter at The Goddard School Lynnhaven a little over a year ago to help her gain some social skills with kids her age before kindergarten. And let me just say that our experience went so much beyond that!! We absolutely love it here and so does our daughter. It is so refreshing to find such a friendly and welcoming staff that always greet you with a smile. Every teacher my daughter had the pleasure of working with was just amazing. So patient and kind and loving. The daily activity reports and pictures we receive everyday are awesome! I could go on and on.. If you're looking for a preschool for your child this is the place you want to be!!

I live in a neighborhood where several children go to this Goddard School. I have to tell you that I have heard such amazing things about this school that I wish I still had children at home! The activities I hear that the teachers do with the children and the care and concern that all the parents rave about makes me a believer! Plus I sub at a couple of the elementary schools near to it and even the teachers of the elementary school talk about how glad they are to have this Goddard School's students in their classes. It must be a fantastic place!

I noticed a couple of things in the reviews that need to be addressed: 1. If you have issues of grave concern, which it seems some do, please post using a legitimate account. We aren't reviewing the service at Red Robin for Pete's sake! We are talking about the education of our children. If there are issues that could possibly affect my child: I would like to speak with you personally yet have no way to contact you. 2. The negative review posters who trash the school, but are incapable of using proper grammar..? You, and your children, have not taken education seriously. Which would explain why your children had a difficult time at a private school. 3. To equate a routine "unvitation" for your children to attend the following school year to the Catholic cover-up of child molestation...? This far-fetched correlation only proves you either received a very low score on the SATs, or you are Googling "what is SAT" right now. Either way, if you are that unhappy with the decision they made you have the right to take your issue to the diocese. The process is listed in the manual which you either didn't, or couldn't, read. 4. If you express your dissatisfaction for your children's education on a Google review -- you have underlying issues that lead to your children's failure. STOP BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE! Get off of your device and take your child to the library or a museum without texting on your cellphone. YOU are your child's teacher ALWAYS! Until you acknowledge where you have failed, you cannot be upset when your child fails. And they will keep blaming everyone else for their problems just like you do. I would like to thank the reviewer whose name I cannot pronounce (but I could still email since they used a legitimate account) for providing an indepth review based on a star-scale providing knowledge and facts. Your children will succeed wherever they are because you succeed at parenting.

Our daughter has attended CMS for 2 years (toddler and pre-primary grades) and we are so pleased with the experience. Her days are well rounded between academia, life skills, social learning, play - both active and stationary, and rest. She receives a lot of personal attention, but not to the detriment of the other children. We are looking forward to the next several years with CMS. I would recommend them to anyone searching for an early learning environment.

My daughter loves her preschool class here with Mrs. May. She comes home happy and with new insights. They send art home and my child is always teaching me songs and games she has been taught at school. Every person I have contacted on staff has been friendly and helpful. This is a great place for a little learner.

I absolutely LOVE Boxwood Montessori. The teachers are wonderful and caring. They embrace the montessori method which has been ideal for both of my children. The ratio of children to teachers is very low which allows for a lot of personal attention. Mrs. Coffin, the owner and director of the school which has been open for 40+ years, while strict and firm, is really very caring and takes pride in teaching the children the life skills that they need. She has high expectations of both the children and the parents which we all strive to achieve. I am so happy with my experience and my children come home each day thrilled to show and tell me all about what they learned that day.

Very nice facility. The owners are amazing! Teachers are great too!

I am not impressed i attend a soccer game of my friends boy today and there were many injuries one kid has a concussion another's back was cracked i heard it crack from 30 feet away all the way across the field that boy was on the ground for 2 maybe 3 minutes and was shaking and while he was in pain three of the boys who were on the field from this school walked over to eachother and all started talking very happily and laughing about what i dont know also the ballgirl of the other team whose guys get very badly hurt said that she and another player heard three of the Walsingham boys say this "Isnt this fun i love pushing them and hurting them" also during the game the coach of the varsity soccer team of Walsingham was fluently cussing and yelled at the referees multiply times and after a tantrum from him the referees told him stop he wont after two more times of yelling at them consistently and cussing at them they said one more word and your off finally his players had to say stop! talking i mean really i have never seen an adult have such a lack of maturity than before they started playing again his players that were on the field close to the edge where he was about to play were trash talking the referee and the coach started the conversation he was cussing about her and so were the players she heard them and anotther Ref. and said cut it out stop that this minute and the grown man the coach tried to lie and say that he was talking to the boys about something else the coach is probably late 40s early 50s and im sorry but i wont let my boys be within 25 feet of that man he was disrepectful and foulmouthed he teaches his players the same morals he follows which are not great i can tell you the whole field of the walsingham players were cussing fluently just like their coach and im sorry but do we want our young men to follow a man like that or even be around him he should be talked to and its a Catholic school how he got hired i have no conception im sorry but God would not be proud of those players or there coach i am writing this review not to get back at anyone by all means but for your information on this school so you and your family can make the right decision for your childs well-being and education before you send your child to this school please think about what your sending them to one of those players punched one of the kids of the other team in the back and were calling him the D-word with a K also they said the F-word with a K and very very dirty words most of the parents had to take there kids to somewhere else because the language was so bad from this schools team so they missed seeing their big brothers play i hope this review helps your family make the right decision for the good of your family :)

My children have attended WCA for about 8 years. The class sizes are small; the classes are rigorous; and the parents are friendly.

Greenwood Christian Academy was voted "BEST PRIVATE SCHOOL" in the Williamsburg James City County area as published in the VIRGINIA GAZETTE on December 23-26, 2015.

2017-08-18 stopped by for a tour, lady that gave us a tour was very nice, experienced and this is definitely the place you want your child! Unfortunately, no availability until August 2018.

The teachers and administration is just amazing. This school is completely worth your money. The education here is far one of the best in Williamsburg. We tried another private school and it was completely behind academically and we worried about our children getting into a good college . This is one of our best decisions we have made. The staff is superb and they are very committed to your child. The atmosphere is very supportive and very healthy.
