The Magnolia School

I did not want to put my child into public school because I felt he would get left behind (classes are big + reviews claimed it was hard to speak to a teacher + I didnt feel comfortable). Not the case with Magnolia!My child has 2 main teachers for his class that I see & speak to everyday at drop off + pick up, & I have their emails + personal cell numbers. Each teacher has bachelor's degree, and they really love their job and their kids aka students. I have zero worry when I drop off my child. Every week, his teachers email all parents an overview of the week. Parents are a big part of the school and help out monthly. I am just so grateful I found Magnolia for my child. Their teaching makes sure no one is left behind. Magnolia is perfect for my son and our family, and I'm sure you will love it too.

My child is currently in the 1st grade at the Magnolia School. The focus on academics without the pressures of testing and grades makes the classroom a place for joy in learning. The small, family atmosphere puts me at ease because I know my child is safe and treated with love and compassion at school. I have the opportunity to speak directly with my child's teachers EVERY DAY. Learning is truly individualized and my child is challenged without being overwhelmed. We are able to enjoy family time in the evenings without the pressures of completing pointless homework worksheets. My child participates in yoga and crafts after school. My child literally calls The Magnolia School part of our family.

I graduated from Magnolia is the mid 90's, and now at close to 30 years old I still think quite often of my time at Magnolia and how incredibly and wonderfully it has impacted my life long after I left the school. Now as a new mother I think back to the hands on learning and individualized approach the school uses, and I take a lot of parenting cues from this. I only hope I can find a school for my daughter that comes close to being as magical an experience and yet also as academically, socially and creatively stimulating.

The Magnolia School has met the needs of my children, nephew and granddaughter.... all with very different personalities and needs. The staff worked extremely diligently when my nephew came to school with various problems including vision problems, learning problems, behavioral problems. He had had a difficult life growing up for ten years. As his problems were unveiled, the staff worked with the family to help him, encourage him, and love him through his difficulties. The whole family benefited by the efforts of the staff of the Magnolia School. I will ever be grateful for the efforts put into caring for my nephew. My nephew grew by leaps and bounds being in a loving environment.

The quality of the academic curriculum at Magnolia is outstanding. The theme-based approach allows students to learn every facet of a subject, allowing them to see the big picture and how everything is connected. I was impressed at the things my daughter came home talking about even in kindergarten. The children are nurtured and encouraged to do their best, and my daughter is thriving academically as a result. But Magnolia is also a close-knit community and my daughter loves her teaches and her classmates. She is excited to go to school. Magnolia is inclusive and this allows kids to accept and appreciate the differences in people and families. I'm so happy we found this school. I know my daughter is better off for it.
