It is simply amazing what this school offers. Almondale Academy's method of operating promotes students to be considerate and well-behaved in a way I have never seen before. They also offer excellent field trip opportunities to their students, guaranteeing both a fun and educational experience. Unlike other schools that claim to care, but do not, this is a school that is genuine, honest and offers a positive learning environment. The faculty at the school is outstanding and teaches in a manner that encourages students to succeed. Moreover, the principal is devoted to the well-being of each and every student enrolled in the school. The program is individualized to meet the needs of every student, but it also helps them catch up if they are behind in their grade level. It is rare to find a school that treats students like people, rather than machines. As a student here, I learned that I could still consider myself when learning and submitting work. In addition, the experience helped me realize that imperfection is part of life and that struggling is not a bad thing. If you are a parent, you can be assured that they will treat your child as any other individual, no matter what issues they may be facing. In spite of the difficulty I had grasping certain concepts, or when I got swamped with homework, there was never a single instance when someone on the school staff dehumanized me or dismissed me as "lazy" or "stupid." Anyway, in lieu of continuing to elaborate on how wonderful this school is, I would like to simply state that as I prepare to graduate, my experiences here have been invaluable. The school is an outstanding place to learn, and I have made some wonderful friends during my time here. For the first time, I was able to experience an enjoyable school life
