Private Schools

I just attended the Goddard School in Independence's Grandparents Day, as an Uncle. The staff at the front door were so friendly and guided me to my nephew's classroom. Both teachers greeted me with a friendly smile and introduced themselves (Ms. Emily and Ms. Ashley). The classroom was very clean and inviting! Thank you for having us!

Amazing school. They have so much to offer my child thrived.

Thankfully Lawernce Schools are a thing of our past. They were out only choice other than public school for my boys with Aspergers. They claimed they knew what they were doing. They did not. I have advocated for my children from their birth and I didn't when it became an issue with the controlling administration. We had terrible experiences over and over. When my father forgot to pick them up one afternoon, they were left in the vestibule with out anyone noticing 2 6ft tall boys. They closed down the school with then in it. It was Winter. When they walked out the front door it locked on them. The had to walk up to Northfield Rd in the dark and cross over the 4 lanes with out a cross walk to a store they were familiar with. In years my one son asked to use the phone. He called me. I was horrified. I immediately picked them up. The next day when I emailed the head master about this particular situation. He responded with, it was my fault because I had not gotten my 13 yo boys cell phones. This was over 10 yrs ago. Kids did not get cell phones then. They did after that. If that was the only way they would be safe at that school. I pulled them out in 11 the grade when I realized that stress of going to Lawrence caused them to vomit every morning. Becareful. I hope things have changed by now.

We greatly appreciated the experiences at Goddard. Our entire family spent more than six years with the school. We particularly enjoyed the center based learning, kids aren't just left to sit and play our children learned a lot. I'd recommend this school.

Great staff

Great School with a lot of great kids

Great courses you can take here unlike the other schools in brockville.

Heard this place offers good teaching might be a possibility in the future!

Kids are able to learn science English math and also their Bible in a setting that is safe and less stress than the public school system
