We have been working with this school for 3 years and their Principal, teachers and parents are by far the best! To see how the scholars grow and develop over the years while attending this school brings our hearts.

Our experience at Philmore has been very exceptional. Prek teacher Mrs. Jay is truly invested in my child's education and her growth as a learner. Adjustments are made as needed to meet the needs of the student. Small class sizes and leveled learning have enabled my child to gain confidence in her learning abilities. The Administration is open-minded and thinks outside the box to make Philmore a successful educational experience for the students. Philmore is committed to the whole child. They teach value lessons, communication, and leadership skills. Looking to continue our educational journey with Philmore Academy with my child.

This is our first year at Philmore Academy. During the first phone call that I had with Ms. Raymore, she made me feel so comfortable; I knew that my girls were heading to the right place. She along with her staff makes sure that each scholar is reaching for their highest potential. We are very happy to be a part of the PA Family!

My family and I have been so pleased with our experience here at Philmore Academy. Ms. Raymore and her entire team are the absolute best. My husband and I have noticed a huge difference in my son and his love for learning. We love how his Prek teacher Mrs. Murphy challenges him and brings out the very best. Thank you so much, Philmore.
