Stratford School - Fremont Osgood Campus

I am immensely grateful for the positive impact Osgood School has had on my kids' education. From the moment we joined this educational community, we knew we had made the right choice. The dedicated staff members are genuinely outstanding, going above and beyond to ensure every child receives a top-notch education and thrives academically, emotionally, and socially. The Osgood Directors deserve a special mention for their visionary leadership and commitment to excellence. Their passion for education is evident in every aspect of the school. They have created a nurturing and stimulating environment where students feel safe, encouraged, and motivated to explore their full potential. But it's not just the directors who make Osgood School exceptional-it's the entire team of teachers who bring learning to life in the most engaging and inspiring ways. Their expertise, creativity, and genuine care for each student shine through in their teaching methods. They know how to ignite a love for learning, making education an exciting journey for young minds. The holistic approach to education at Osgood School is truly commendable. The curriculum is well-designed, striking the perfect balance between academic rigor and fostering creativity. Students are encouraged to think critically, solve problems, and express themselves confidently. The school also emphasizes character development, instilling important values that will guide our children not only in their academic pursuits but throughout their lives. As a parent, it brings me immense joy to witness my children's growth and development under the care of the Osgood School community. They have blossomed academically, acquiring a strong foundation of knowledge and essential skills. Equally important, their social and emotional growth has been nurtured, enabling them to build meaningful relationships and develop into well-rounded individuals.

I believe Stratford School is definitely one of the best. The quality of the school is recognized not by just its teachers, student body, extra-curricular activities they offer to students among other things but also how a school reacts to extra-ordinary situations like the last year 2020 Covid-19 (Corona Virus) situation. I found the Stratford Fremont Osgood Teachers team pretty competent in handling the crisis that was felt the world over. Their constant engagement with parents to get their input as to what they would like for their child; coming up with multiple programs like a Hybrid program (in-class program throughout the year 2020 where a class is divided into two sections and each kid is in school 2 days a week and studying 3 days at home with online teachers for various subjects) and also offering an option for 100% online study at home with for kids who do not want to be in class. Training students (in hybrid programs to start with) as young as 1st-grade kids to wear masks, 6 ft. distance, handwashing, etc., making sure to do regular temperature checks, constantly clean play areas, high touch areas constantly, when kids are in school. This just shows extra effort in thinking, engaging parents, following CDC, State, and local guidelines, and making sure it is not just kids learning with studies that are on track but also their playing activities, time with other kids that helps to balance mental state of kids and brings them some sense when kids can play with other classmates and are not sitting at home for the whole year on their own. No other school (public or private) in the area handled the situation this effectively, to my knowledge.
