My son is very happy. The teaching staff is very good at nurturing and developing the children's academic and social skills. Every day he comes home and talks about his friends and what he is being taught in Pre-TK. Also, he loves doing his homework and has no problem articulating/advocating for himself. On a regular basis, I receive valuable information from the school about my child's progress. The principal, Mrs. Rickenbacker has developed and sustained a rigorous program that truly prepares students for high school. I know this firsthand because I teach the graduates in an accelerated program at a nearby high school. It was their preparation that led me to inquire about Transfiguration Elementary. I am thoroughly pleased and would highly recommend this school to any parent seeking a quality academic program.
