Excellent school

Great school with great women in leadership. Great program for young ladies.

My grandson thrived in Ms. P's preschool class. We saw how he thrived and really grew in her class. I'd give her 10 stars. Kindergarten was not a happy year, as there was a bully in the class, which was not addressed. He is sad when he thinks of that year. We had to leave and go to another school. He's in 6th grade now, and an excellent student. He smiles when he remembers Ms. P., however, so we hope she's still there blessing other families.

Wonderful school. Mrs. Bala is a treasured gift to the world of education, and the staff is so kind and caring to all of the children.

Challenging, supportive, innovative - perfect fit for our family! A school where children flourish.

I am in 7th grade at csg and it is my first year. I love it there.

Have three kids there and love this school. These comments above/below are not indicative of this school at all. Most all of the kids at the school are very respectful and I know plenty of parents who sacrifice to send their kids there. Rich or not rich it does not matter the staff and faculty treat everyone with love and respect. If you were to come and watch the kindergarten children walk out, the teachers do an amazing job keeping them in line and under control! This school is a wonderful place!

I attended Laurel School from 1994 to 2008. The teachers and administrators created a safe, supportive and inspiring community in which I was able to learn, grow, and thrive. Laurel was much more than a school to me, but also a 2nd home. I still realize almost daily how my experiences at Laurel greatly influenced my personal values, my desire to support communities and people, my life-long love of learning, and my ways of interacting with the world. I don't think even a 5-star rating is adequate for Laurel School. The value of a Laurel education transcends any material rating. It is an education that does not stop upon graduation, but continues to grow each day in new ways.

Montessori School of Dayton is a truly wonderful community school. My daughters have attended the school for the past four years, and due to the excellence of the school, we plan on both finishing their elementary and middle school years here. My children are so happy with and love their school community and excellent teachers. Montessori is a clear and effective antidote to the problems associated with traditional education, and this school in particular provides a kind and nurturing environment for children to grow and learn in according to their own interests and individual capacities, not the dictates of high pressure testing and relentless progress through curriculum that has little relationship to what is age appropriate for children. The school is a full member of the American Montessori Society, which speaks to the high degree of fidelity to the Montessori philosophy, method and materials that is so clearly evident at the school. Additionally, I feel compelled to mention that the music program is fantastic! In sum, If you are even remotely considering enrolling your child in a Montessori program or private school, then I urge you to make an appointment to visit this outstanding school.

Our experience with Lakota Christian has been very positive. My child was behind after attending public school. The smaller classroom settings and the one on one attention, from certified teachers, was needed in order for my child to thrive. The staff is very professional, kind and caring. This is our third year attending, and I’m very thankful we found them!
