    "I'm a former student and my 3 years at Kino meant more to me than the rest of my schooling put together. I've spent many of my 17 years struggling in the public school system, which is ill-adapted to support kids who are, in any way, different. At Kino, there were teachers willing to treat each student as an individual, to respect them just as much as they would another adult, and to help and educate in whatever way works for each unique student. I made lasting friendships with students and teachers alike; the accepting atmosphere at Kino is something you will truly never find anywhere else. I've since had to go back to a public school because Kino's tuition was too high -the price is the biggest drawback- but after my experience at Kino, where teachers honestly cared and worked very hard, the lack of compassionate and understanding teachers and students at public school seems even harsher, by comparison."

    "Kino School sounds like a great school when you go for a visit. Our biggest concern was safety. Not only physical safety but emotional safety. Some kids were lashing out in anger and cursing as other students watched nothing being done about it. Clear boundaries are not provided or consequences established. As far as academics go when a student decides he/she wants to really learn something there are some teachers there who don't have the tools to be teaching/facilitating the subject. So it's more about a feel good thing instead of really learning. The biggest academic problem is no follow through. Teachers will talk about doing lots of great classes and kids get excited and then the class doesn't happen or meeting times get interrupted when the teacher schedules other things on top of that class time. So frustrating. Lots of kids have left Kino School for this reason."

    "My high school aged child has been at Kino for seven years now. I can't imagine a better school experience than what he has had. He was allowed to enjoy his junior high years hiking, building things, making good friends. As he has gotten older, he's challenged himself to do harder academic work, and the teachers are inspiring. He's deciding for himself what is important and working hard because of it."

    "The four years I attended Kino were the best experience of my life. The community is so loving and encouraging and I learned so many things that I would never had at a traditional school how to make my own goals, how to learn for the sake of learning, and how to be a member of a community. Now that I'm in college I know that Kino has given me an advantage despite the fact that I now have to work for grades, I'm proactive and willing to take on and work through classes that I find interesting. Any parent who is willing to let go of anxiety about their child's 'competitiveness' and send them to Kino gives them a gift for the rest of their lives."

    "My son is in his first year at Kino School. I read some of the reviews, and I find the feedback hard to believe. The environment is wonderful and suppoertive individually of each student in the way they need. The low teacher student ratio allows for this. My son is special needs, and he gets way more of what he needs here than with thousdands of extra dollars allotted to him im public school. He went to another private school for a few years before coming to Kino, and it is just what he needs at this point in his education. Their philosophy is to increase the intrinisic motivation of the students to learn, so they just don't learn random facts. They learn the most important thing- they learn how to learn. That is what will help them survive the most in the world no matter what their path."
