Private Schools

Good

Wait listed preschool. Good facilities and learning programs. Healthy lunch. Safety features and play structure.

We enrolled our two kids at Weizmann Day School with a lot of anxiety. We had moved our son around from several schools and really wanted to find a good fit. We have discovered that all the teachers are fantastic--they deeply care about their students and the class size is small enough that learning can be flexible according to the individual student needs. Our kids get far more art and music education, as well as P.E., than they received through the public school system. The parent community is fantastic. Loving, caring families that don't get into some of the status issues of high profile private schools like financial one-upsmanship. This is a small school, so you need to be comfortable with having your child in a small group of kids that will follow them through their elementary years. Our kids are thriving and happy and love their school.

Really good camp.Camp Falcon

Hello I was a parent at St.Andrews for Six years until February 2017. I had many concerns involving some of the teachers being bullies to my Son including the Principle and Vice Principle and also the Father running the school. When calling the school I was always told there was no one I could speak to. When calling the Father I would leave messages for his assistant and never receavied a call back from him. Same with the superintendent. This school is very concerned about punishing students not teaching as a school should be.

It seems to be a normal "private school" now but in the 1990s it was a group home of sorts for troubled kids. I spent a couple years there and the staff were very abusive. Being "restrained" or as we called it "getting slammed" is only supposed to happen if a child is a physical threat to themselves or others, but it was used constantly as a solution to any and every little annoyance. If you don't do your school work you get slammed. If you are caught awake after lights out you get slammed. Being slammed consist of a an adult tackling a student to the floor where they press their knee against your back or chest until another staff member comes to assist them in dragging you to a small building called "crisis". crisis consist of a living room sized area with a fer tiny cubicles built along one wall. and a small room with floor to ceiling carpet and a magnetic door on the other. (there are at least one of these carpeted rooms with magnetic doors in every building.) when you arrive in crisis the staff hand you off to two more staff who slam you against the carpeted wall or floor where they twist your arm, put it behind your back and pull it toward your neck while pressing their weight against your back to constrict your breathing. They take turns doing this for several minutes. after what felt like hours of torture. the student is made to sit silently in the blank little cubicle for no less than one hour sometimes as much as 14 hours. if you speak or look away from the wall you get slammed again. these are not isolated incidents. this was standard practice for all staff in the event of any minor inconvenience. if this is still a place for troubled children do not send your kids there. it is like something from a horror movie.
