"What a great blance...outdoors-y and book-smart! Having these children under the same roof along with strong leadership in the classroom and front office make this the best school my children have attended. Great teacher retention. Serious about community and the outdoor-play area is one-of-a-kind."

"Rich in academic process, super-rich in building community amongst it's attendees and families and puts high emphasis on building character. This is an awesome school if your kid can handle being independent and challenged at times! Awesome!"

"Renaissance is merely an overly-ambitious kindergarten, w/questionable, insufficient teachers; its learning model fails to build on strengths of gifted students. It only affords to hire a qualified math teacher for 1hour/week direct instruction; kids study independently, have supervised activity/games in remaining days. Preliminary, rigorous testing of IQ, giftedness was a necessity once enrolled, students must be capable of learning independently from textbooks 4 days/week. To expect this level of independent study from elementary school children, they better be gifted! Eventually, their understanding, comprehension, fall behind their talent; the school simply fails to keep them challenged in zone of proximal development. Both the Director and the math teacher acknowledge that math instruction groups do mix kids from two Divisions; last year, Divs. IV, V comprised five groups; my son was in the middle one, which included two kids in 6th, 7th grades. The one hour direct math instruction/week spanned four grades!"

"I'm hard to WOW, and this school has wow'd me with my 2nd and 4th graders. Not only are they learning academics, they are busting into critical thinking skills, teamwork skills and common sense skills that go way beyond what traditional academic only schools offer. What more does a parent want than to have a child who is not only smart, but filled with common sense and camaraderie!"

"I love this school. Have a daughter in the gifted program in 2nd grade. She loves going to school everyday. Ms MarySue has made reading a joy for her. I also have another daughter in kindi and she has just been a sponge for learning this year. Wow what growth. Thank you Ms Kathy! We also use the Camelot after school program and the girls love the activites. I couldn't ask for a better school."
