Private Schools

The previous review was written by a former employee that was dismissed. Our school continues to provide excellent care for children and services for families. We are an award winning "Step Up To Quality" program with an outstanding teaching staff. Please come and visit Plan, Do, and Talk and make your own decision.

A Great Parochial School teaching Christian Values . . . I was fortunate to attend for 12 years and considered every day a priviledge.

I have had such a wonderful experience with Goddard School in Mechanicsburg. I wanted my daughter in an environment that was focused on learning and education; more than just a babysitting service. My daughter's teacher is warm, always positive, and keeps the little ones in her room engaged. I love receiving updates throughout the day with pictures, as well as, the activities and how they relate to and encourage my daughters development.

Great Christ centered school. All 3 of my children went there and got a wonderful education.

Best Quaker boarding school! Loved it. Love it.

The church is currently undergoing construction. However found gum under the seats.

We sent our children to this school for nearly a decade. The music program was always lacking, but we had our children in outside music lessons so we let that slide until they hired their current music/band teacher. The curriculum for music was reduced to preschool level for all ages and our children opted to go to the dentist rather than be embarrassed participating in the semiannual performance. We notified the school that our children were to have study time rather waste their time and our money in music and band. Our older children began to be bullied and harassed in upper elementary. We pulled our children out of the school three months into the school year as the administrative staff failed to ensure our students would have a safe and peaceful learning environment. We pulled them after a fifth offense by the same student. We were alarmed to discover our daughter was way behind in Math. She had just completed the three year Montessori cycle so this was not due to pulling them mid cycle. We had been told repeatedly that our children were at or above public school standards. Our daughter received a 9% on her first math test. Thankfully she had an excellent teacher who helped her catch up. It was a year long struggle with tons of extra homework, but she is where she should be thanks to that teacher. We do not recommend this school. It was a huge waste of money and our children did not have a safe, peaceful environment to work in. I regret sending my children there.
