Private Schools

My two children have been a part of Five Acre School for over 4 years now. They are flourishing academically because they love learning. Every week they go on hikes throughout the Dungeness Wild Life refuge nextdoor and study nature. In music class they sing, dance, paint, and learn to play Marimbas. The teachers of the school are warm, nurturing, certified and highly professional. They focus on a child-centered curriculum.Thanks to the age blended classrooms, my kids learn at their own pace which meets their emotional needs while encouraging their curiosity. Children throughout the school respect each other and are never mean or bullied. In the rare event of a discipline issue the school's Director, a certified therapist, may have an emotion coaching discussion about the issue on a cozy bench in the office. There is no time out, the students are never told they're bad, there is only calm communication between students, staff and parents. As parents we are in constant communication with the staff and meet up to receive frequent detailed assessments of our children's progress without meaningless letter grades or standardized tests. As a community of parents we are all involved with every school function and have the power to help the school grow. It is an absolutely wonderful school and we are lucky to be a part of it.

LCS is an amazing school! My kids have thrived there!

Great school. Really helped our kids get back on track after public school went poorly. Put put them way ahead of the pack. Wonderful teachers that see the best in our kids and help them to blossom. Small class sizes mean more individual attention. And, they work with families to make it affordable. Love this place.

good place to learn important life lessons...

Great school so far

I find it hard to imagine a more wonderful environment for a child to develop securely and happily to their fullest potential. I'll write a fuller review when I get a chance. Incidentally, it's worth noting that some of the accounts posting negative reviews here don't seem entirely legit.

It's great!

I feel the Christian aspect of this school and many churches in Spokane is used to leverage more and more feeling of obligation to parents/parishioners without the necessary gratitude and respect. Always I feel that I can never contribute enough, and that my children are not good enough. The school/teachers should be self critical as opposed to self righteous. Telling parents what to do and belittling them for example, in the manner it is done, is quite unjustified.

Fantastic school covering kindergarten through grade six with a maximum of 24 students. The two teachers, twin sisters, are wonderful teachers who care immensely about their students. The learning atmosphere is very positive and constructive, with a strong emphasis on basic skills enhanced by a wide variety of enrichment programs. I couldn't be happier with the education they provide.

Not good boarding. Very bad.
