"Our son attended Bixby School from K until 4th and had to leave because of moving to another state. He loved every day he was at this school especially the backyard and swimming classes. The school has a curriculum that enriches the creativity in each child. We had our hesitations from time to time because of the no homework, no test policy but it turns out that our son was so well prepared by Bixby that he had no challenge to adjust to a school with an academically challenging curriculum with tests and homework when we moved out of Colorado. He understands each and every subject easily no matter how difficult the subject is and as parents we think this has strong ties with his background he gained at Bixby. In short, Bixby does not only teach subjects to your child, but they leave a permanent effect on your child to crave lifelong learning. On the social side, we found Bixby experience very valuable as they instill values in each child to become responsible, respectfull and sensible. We highly recommend this Bixby School."

"Bixby has been excellent for our child in every way. Like many students, he was at another private school for pk/k, and then in our local school for first grade. That was OK, but in second grade things started to fall apart. Fortunately Bixby had a seat available, and we were able to transfer mid-year. We were expecting some transition issues, both to a new school and away from the old, but saw neither. He was accepted in to the new class seamlessly, and he never did ask about his old school outside of an occasional observation about how much he likes his new one. The glaringly positive aspects of Bixby are the dedicated schedules and classrooms for each subject, the motivated/enthusiastic/creative teachers, and small class sizes with engaged students. The curriculum and focus are exactly where we want them, on the children now and for the future."

"There is nothing about Bixby that has disappointed. The administration is open-minded, creative and very thoughtful about every decision and how it fits in with fostering the development of any child into a creative, self-starting, wise and courageous participant in the world. They don't push - they create many diverse opportunities to attract and engage. They low teacher/student ratio and the enthusiastic, kind and cheerful staff make Bixby a wonderful and friendly environment that my child looks forward to being a part of every day. They give children room to play and they are very attentive toward the respect shown between peers. You don't see peers playing exclusionary games, bullying, pestering, etc., that you see in most other schools. It's a delightfully safe environment for a child to experiment and discover who they want to be. My child loves Bixby. I wish I could have gone there when I was a kid!"

"Awesome school for quiet, deliberate, and thoughtful students. My sensitive child LOVES this school. We are so glad to have him enrolled at Bixby - our third school we've tried for him. The class sizes are so small - around six students to one teacher. A perfect environment to draw out a hesitant child. Plus, hot lunch and swimming lessons in their onsite pool are included in the tuition. Our experience at Bixby has exceeded all our expectations. Don't just tour the school - ask to sit in on a couple of classes - you will be sold too."

"We enrolled our son after a Montessori school and a year of public school. While not a special needs child, our son thrives in small groups and needs engagement. We have found an amazingly dedicated staff that brings learning to life for our son. From the amazingly small class sizes and the focus on critical thinking from first principles to the emphasis on "play" instead of homework, we believe we have found a school that sets our son up with the skills and creative environment that will serve him well throughout his life."
