School Reviews

I can't fully put into words what a blessing this school has been for our family. Dr. Farris and her lead mentor, Lauren are such wonderful people, who truly care about the well-being of each of their students. They are able to provide a thorough individualized education, while also making each child feel seen and cared for. Their small class size and extensive knowledge in child development and psychology provide a learning environment that, in my opinion, is unmatched at any other school in the area. If you've ever felt that the "standard" K-12 system isn't the best fit for your child, I would highly recommend coming by to check out their classroom and talk to Dr. Farris, it's definitely worth the visit!
