"The other reviews may overstate the "greatness" of this school, but it is solid for all the reasons listed. The facility is clean and well maintained, the teachers seem competent, and parental involvement is encouraged. I for one have been very disappointed in communication though. Calendars are vague and expectations for families when it comes to activities are unclear. I have not found these activities very accommodating or considerate of family situation. You could definitely do worse than this school and if you are already familiar with the nuances of Colorado or Denver area schools, you'll probably be as happy as the other reviewers on this page. I was expecting more out of a school with an 8 rating."

"Van Arsdale is one of the best schools you'll find! It is an exceptional learning environment with exceptional teachers and staff to compliment it. The principle is actuvely involved throughout the school and you will even see the custodians interacting with the kids! There is student work hanging up on the wall to promote an accepting fun environment! They also host a before and after school daycare program that is exceptional staff-wise and activity-wise! Whenever i pick my kids up from school or daycare, they always have a smiling face and talk about how they had a great day! This school is extraordinary!"

"My son loved going school for first grade and can't wait to start second. He didn't love kindergarten quite as much at another school. I've watched him move up an entire reading level at Van Arsdale during first grade. Additionally, the teachers loop so during this very important developmental time, they may stay with their same teacher for 2 years if you want them to. He adores his teacher and that fuels his love of learning. They are also an extremely friendly staff."

"My daughter looks forward to going to school. She has been at Van Arsdale since the first grade and is now a second grader. Kindergarten at another, well-respected school was not a good experience for her. As a parent, I appreciate the she now loves school and I feel she is making good academic progress."

"We just began our venture at Van Arsdale and we love it. Our children enjoy going to school everyday and when we pick them up they have huge smiles on. The school they went to prior to this really wore on them and not to mention on us. Van Arsdale is such a breath of fresh air. It is so nice to see the principle walking around all of the time, and to see smiling teachers both in the mornings and in the afternoons. The staff at the front desk is also amazing. We could not give enough thanks for accepting our children into this school. We are truly blessed."
