Students are taught so well in Spanish, that they will be fluent or at least nearly fluent upon completion of this course. It is also great that the class sizes are small (usually fewer than 20 students per class) which enhances learning. The teachers genuinely care about the students' education. One of the greatest strengths of this school are their peers. It is clear that the other students have parents that care about their child's education which encourages the students to come to school ready to learn. The school is also very firm about bully prevention. Overall, we were very happy with this school. BI

Sure they are fairly new and from time to time may have a hiccup but so does other schools. I found the teachers are very educated and diverse. The class sizes are good and they offer after school help for students who need to get caught up. My child is not even in high-school yet and is taking courses I took in college. It is very fast pace learning environment so kids will need to be strong in education thus the entrance exam. I understand everyone has a different experience but in the area of education, qualifications, and communication they are top class. Because they are new, they do not have athletic sports yet, but this school is about a STEM education not athletics. If you are looking for athletes or athletic scholarships keep looking but if you want a college prep and quality education for your child then check them out.

At the core of our search was a school that was Christ-centered and where parents were considered the primary educators of their child(ren). At Rockbridge, we have found that and more. Education there is perceived as the exploring, unpacking and understanding of God's creation, and this philosophy undergirds every subject area. They follow a classical curriculum, which essentially translates to an education that aligns with a child's natural development. The fruit of this form of education has been wonderful to witness as a parent. What really has been the "clincher" for my husband and I is the way they handle discipline. At the heart is forgiveness and restoration of the student. I am so incredibly grateful for the education they are receiving there and that they experience the Lord's grace there and at home.

Over the summer they were able to go into locally owned Paradise Donut Shop and learn about how to run a business. They got to learn how to make the donuts, decorate the donuts and serve the donuts. This would never happen in the public school. The love that can use their laptops every day and they are excited about the STEM learning that they will be able to do.

I loved teaching, and my experiences in elementary and middle school are some of the most rewarding of my life, but the whole time I was there I couldn't escape the feeling of hypocrisy. I didn't believe in the curriculum we were being forced to teach, and yet I would go through the motions and do it anyway. How would rote memorization, absorbing lectures from an adult, and learning to obey really prepare children for the future? So I walked away from education to pursue a career in computer science. I left the traditional model behind; or so I thought. Flash forward to 2017, and life had given Kim and me three amazing boys. As parents living in the day and age of unlimited possibilities, we did not want my children learning how to become factory workers. We'd look at what our boys were learning, and while it appeared like success on the surface, the reality was we couldn't draw parallels between the curriculum and what would bring them joy and opportunity later in life. Like all parents, we want our children to experience the best life has to offer, and the dots just weren't connecting. The scary part was where we did connect the dots. While we were fortunate to work with some incredible people over the past decade, they weren't the majority...

The other key component is planned interaction between students of all 8 grades.

Yes, she will have woodwork. Yes, her class will play traditionally 3rd-grade roles in the fall festival. Yes, her class will go on the weeklong farm trip to New York. In the curriculum, Waldorf wrote-in these three and dozens of other activities that are predictable. That predictability creates student anticipation, participation and success.

The director of this school is amazing, she pours her heart, time, work, and love into the school, kids, activities, events, and ceremonies. The teachers are excellent as is the quality of the education. The behavior expectations are strict, but their methods are objectively effective and the teachers use proper disciplinary techniques (our daughter never complained about teachers shouting, yelling, or being mean like at other schools she's been at). Our 5 year old finished pre-K and is able to read, do math, and also learned history and geography. We recently took a long road trip and she often talked to us in the car about things she learned in school about the different states we visited, or historical figures we mentioned (She learned a lot about MLK, for instance). The school is wonderfully diverse, there is no religious affiliation so our daughter was taught equally about all religious and cultural traditions during the different holidays. We loved all the events, and ceremonies we attended, in the year our daughter was here we went to a few seasonal concerts were the kids sang and danced, as well as a trunk or treat, Halloween parade, earth-day activity, and a surprisingly robust graduation ceremony! We absolutely recommend this school to anyone in the area, preschool is a very important developmental stage for children and this school did a fantastic job setting our daughter up for success in K-12!
