Private Schools

We were fortunate to find OWS when our son was entering Kindergarten. He continued at OWS through middle school. Our son agrees that it was an exceptional experience and set the trajectory for excellent performance in high school. The project / time management skills learned at OWS continue to pay huge dividends and will likely do so for life. We would not hesitate to recommend OWS. That said, if you are looking for a classic military style "drilling" type institution, this is definitely not that.

went to the school for 5 years and it was good until middle school. thats when it gets clique-y and you've known these people for too long, and so it just gets boring and the bubble needs to be pushed. but the first few years were golden.

This school provides an exceptional Christian education. The academics are strong, the class sizes are small, and there is chapel twice per week. It is nice that the Bible can be taught in school, and that the students can say prayers. The staff truly loves the students and cares about their education and their spiritual growth.

I go to school here it's nice

Best three years of my life!

Valley Christian has been an excellent experience for our family. It is a caring community of teachers and staff that educate efficiently while maintaining a Christian perspective. Our experience in the local public school (West Valley School District) was horrific. Truly unbelievable. We weren't looking for private education, but are absolutely delighted to have found Valley Christian. The difference is readily apparent from the first time you visit the school. You owe it to your children to at least tour the facility Reading other posts, I find it odd others have viewed VCS as dogmatic or rigid. Our experience is that they are inclusive of others beliefs and we have met many families that enjoy denominations different than ours that attend a variety of Churches. I know nothing has offended us and have not heard that others have been offended. VCS is currently operating on a 4 day school week. Every Friday is off unless Monday was a holiday. Both my kids are operating above grade level and test well above the public system. This leaves Friday for enrichment and we're currently taking a 3 hour robotics class given by the computer and lab teachers. VCS offers a lot of educational enrichment opportunities. We've been involved in Chess Club, Basketball, Cross Country, Band, Choir, Drama, Spelling Bee, and Public Speaking. This example is only at the elementary level and only what we had time for. While the public system is eliminating programs, VCS is adding them! All while educating better and using one less day. Needless to say, we are appreciative and thankful for such a school to exist.

The proportion of stellar teachers at The Oaks is remarkable--I've never encountered a school with so many fantastic and caring teachers! The environment at The Oaks has been a great change for my girls. At The Oaks students in elementary learn songs (often with movements), they memorize helpful chants, and the teachers ask plenty of questions, BUT only one student is allowed to speak at a time. It is amazing how much more learning occurs and can occur in a respectful, orderly, (and fun) environment.

My children attended SJV many years ago. The education they received prepared them for high school but more importantly shaped them as the adults they are today. I now have 3 grandchildren attending SJV. It's cool to see them in classes with the children of my kids classmates. Long history of quality education that spans generations.

Great people, great education. Highly recommend

We have been incredibly impressed with the Goddard school since we have had out son attend. I have had my son in previous preschool and I can say that Julio and Maria run a wonderful center. They are warm, caring and provide a very safe environment for our children. The teaching is first rate, and the curriculum in general provides a well rounded learning experience. There is a review on this page regarding someone who's vehicle broke down. 2 comments: a) that has nothing to do with the quality of the school, b) I appreciate that the owners priority is our children's safety If you are looking for a well rounded pre-school in Snoqualmie, the Goddard School would be an excellent choice.

Our son is currently taking biology with Pacific Learning Academy. We specifically chose PLA because of the enriched experience and customization they were willing to create. Our son loves science and hopes to pursue a career in some aspect of science. We wanted to ensure all the sophomore year requirements were met, but that there was also the chance for real hands-on work. PLA has gone above and beyond in accommodating this. Our son has had the opportunity to do real dissections (a frog and cow eye so far), along with small experiments involving growing cultures and testing various reactions to different stimuli. Real, hands-on learning. The exciting stuff, not just memorizing facts. This is the type of learning that inspires students to pursue science and we are very grateful to PLA for providing it.

Owners are very good, teachers are nice, my daughter is enjoy her Pre-k life.

Cabrini is a great school, maximizing a limited budget with amazing teachers and a dynamic new principal.
