Private Schools

Fairview Christian School is not just a school - it is a family. Our kids started school in preschool and pre-k and when it came time to choose a kindergarten, we knew this was the place for us. The teachers are wonderful and are able to teach to kids at all different levels with different learning styles because of the small class sizes. Fairview has lots of special programs - Spanish, PE twice a week, Performing Arts twice a week, opportunities to participate in melodrama and other theatrical productions, speech, science and so much more! The families are actively involved in the life of the school and available to each other as we all walk through the joys and struggles of life. They are located at 78th and Roosevelt - right off I-5. It really is an ideal location.

So far so good! The school just opened this month, but so far I like the way they are running it. They are putting emphasis on having the middle schoolers becoming responsible students, and seem to be embracing a philosophy of "education happens outside the classroom too". And they also seem to be on board with the idea that for the future what the world needs is not homework robots, but creative thinkers. I'll try to update this review after this first year is done.

Fantastic education. Small class sizes, engaged teachers, great students.

I went here for wrestling back in high school and they were very welcoming and I loved my experiences here. It's a great school.

Fantastic experience in the pre-toddler classroom, my son was around 15-16 months old. The teacher Miss Katie was amazing and truly a gifted childcare provider. The classroom was very sunny, warm, inviting and kid friendly. A variety of colors, textures and play areas made it almost montessori/preschool like. We had to transition out of daycare due to job changes. On our last day we were given a handmade "We will miss you" scrapbook with classroom pictures and a personalized note from the teacher about our son's antics and personality traits. I can't say enough good things about my experience! Very grateful for the peace of mind I had when returning to work.

The owner and teachers have a repulsive attitude when you ask questions about their program. I understand they have limited seats so they would have to turn down some applicants but they don't make it clear at all during the application process of what they are looking for. When you tour the school, they judge you and your pre-schooler. The owner is very rude and blunt to tell you that your child lack skills required for his 'highly advanced' program and that it is 'not for everyone'.

I watched my daughter, a very bright and creative introvert, enter Explorations Academy as a student who preferred to observe and not offer her perspective or insights. She was a student who held back in giving her all to her assigned work. She avoided attending school whenever possible and preferred to do the bare minimum. I have seen her transform into being an "A" student, pushing her boundaries, giving her best, and challenging herself. She is inspired to do her work, develop greater independence, accountability, confidence and courage. One of her most jaw-dropping developments was when she discovered her ability to write with profound depth and flow. Her insights moved me deeply. This creative ability was identified and nurtured by her adviser Kiira, who coordinates the fantastic mentoring program in the school. Explorations Academy has a commitment to acknowledging the students as individuals within the community. The teachers and staff are an incredible community of people dedicated to an education that prepares students to be the best they can be: confident, connected, capable, present, and well educated individuals. In offering this life education to my daughter, I feel like a parent who has given one of the greatest gifts ever. Thank you Explorations Academy!!!

Our son came to Assumption Catholic School in third grade half way through the year. The staff was very welcoming and our son enjoyed the new challenges and robust curriculum. We noticed right away that the students were all excellent presenters and speakers. From kindergarten on each class is responsible for readings in the church and we were amazed at their confidence and poise at the microphone. Most of all we appreciate that there is a strong moral code upheld and the teachers are in tune with the spirit of the child as well as their intellectual growth. Now that our son is in middle school we see him developing into a young man of great character and self control. He is also a part of Assumption Boy Scouts which also has excellent mentors and leadership training. We are confident Assumption has the tools to build young people equipped to positively impact our community. Thank you Assumption! Family of a grateful 6tj grader.

John was excellent!

We have three children at St. Paul's, currently sixth grade, third grade and kindergarten. My two younger children also attended Little Epistles preschool. Our experience has been incredible for all three kids, they have flourished academically and socially. We appreciate the small class sizes, the dedicated teachers, and the challenging but encouraging academic environment. Our family highly recommends St. Paul's!

This school just keeps getting better and better. It all starts and ends with the staff and they are really in a great place right now!

If you want your child to learn in a home like environment with caring, knowledgeable staff. This is the place. Here your child is not just a student but family. My daughter thrives here. And my youngest never wants to save when we drop her sister off. Such an amazing learning environment for kids.

They are so great. The amount of stuff my son has learned while attending Hillcrest is amazing. I would pick them again if I had the choice.
