    "Today was a very sad day. I withdrew my son from a school I believed in. He has been there since he was 20 months. This school has always been an extension of our own family. The relationships with the teachers, assistants and other family's are priceless to our family. We have noticed the last 2 years, family's leaving. All for the same reason, something is wrong with their child...slow reader, staying on task, focusing etc. This last year our son was the chosen one. We paid for extensive testing, tutoring and created task lists at home working hard to meet the expectations. My son was held back in toddler program. All of his classmates went on to have 4 years in Primary. He had 3 with a change in teacher. His first year of Elementary we met with the teacher for help in reading. Originally the teacher helped with after school reading for the fall. We set a mtg. with the teacher to see what times and days he would continue to go in for after school help we were faced with a meeting with the Director and teacher and a minute by minute observation of our son. We were now in the others shoes. We had no solutions on their part. We are disappointed and embrace the change."

    "The administration of the Khalsa Montessori School would like to thank those who have taken the time to come to us and ask about postings on this website. We welcome the opportunity to correct misstatements and fully discuss our educational approaches and philosophy. As always, questions or concerns about Khalsa Montessori education should be directed to the school administration directly for an open and honest dialogue."

    "I have been a proud parent of two Khalsa kids. My daughter is finishing 6th grade this year and moving on to middle school - her biggest concern is "will she be bored with her next curriculum" Khalsa has given her the tools to succeed anywhere she goes. My younger is in lower elementary and I feel he is such a curious and free thinker because of the class environment and encouragement from his teachers. I have never had a problem with administration. It seems parents who are complaining about their children being held back should look in the mirror - standards for school can only be held so high for the education of our children."

    "My children have gone to Khalsa for 8 and 6 years respectively. I would like to address a thread in some of the comments i am seeing in the evaluation of this school. One in which children need to be given only praise. This is a disturbing trend to me, and not reality at all. A child with only praise does not understand when they are not picked out as the prettiest, or the best. Khalsa does not focus on the best or the prettiest or even the correct, but attempts to guide the child to evaluate the options, make the best possible decision based on information or circumstances and then understand the consequences of those decision, in all aspects of their day whether it be academic or social. They do emphasize respect for the individual and work on community problem solving. All attributes that want my child to have, all attributes that more of us adults need to work on. I cannot speak to the comments by other parents- but our children have thrived at this school. In general it is only the unhappy who leave comments- so I feel that the comments here are unfairly skewed. This is an excellent school and the teachers here are great."

    "I am very dissapointed about this school, the major reason why I selected the school was because of the great rating it has as well as the quality education it offered for my child. As I attended the student's orientation I found out that a child is never great enough for them. They judge a kid without even knowing the student. Every parent knows the capacity of their children; I believe in my son's capabilities and abilities and by no means I would ever take any of my children back to Khalsa because I know that here he would be treated as mentally ill because at the moment he does not speak a fluent english.Children are like sponges they absorb learning in such a short period of time especially when the child is brilliant and has no problems when learning takes place.I really cannot expect anything from a school that does not believe in a child, and also when the staff is not capable enough of understanding that children go to school to learn and to expect challenges when learning; these people were expecting failure from my child when they don't even know him.My child is such a happy kid and I would never send him here because I know that his happiness would turn into unhappiness"
