I have had two children attend Riverstone International School from elementary school through…read moremiddle school and into high school. Both have benefited greatly from the school's academically rigorous IB program, its unique outdoor experiences, and its incredibly kind and supportive student body. The faculty have been very accessible and helpful in personalizing education for each child, and I have seen the results of the education when my children have participated in programs outside the school and received recognition for outstanding performance. I would recommend Riverstone highly and without reservation to anyone looking for an outstanding academic education within a supportive environment that helps them develop a range of important life skills including critical thinking, community involvement, and communication skills.

In 7th grade art class the assignment was to write a report on a contemporary artist. My child was told their pick was "too white male." My child was subsequently instructed to choose a BIPOC artist, with extra points if they were "queer." My complaints regarding this fell on deaf ears. Many of the teachers are pretty decent, but the school tilts WAY to the left. The non-woke portions of the curriculum are good, especially the math and outdoor-centric programs. However, we did put our son in a different international school and he was way behind in Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. His new school has these as stand-alone classes starting in Grade 5. Not so at Riverstone.

One standout curriculum feature is that they teach Spanish from K through 8th grade and we were…read moresurprised to hear that most 8th graders test into Spanish 2 and some even Spanish 3 as freshmen, which gives them a significant advantage in their language studies. Additionally, the new Principal has done a fantastic job of fostering school spirit and a sense of community. We are excited about the years to come and feel confident we've made the right choice for our child's education.

St. Mary's is the best kept secret in Boise and the surrounding area. The staff is incredible. They…read moreare focused on each student individually. They work cooperatively to provide the best education to each student in every grade. The parish is incredibly supportive of the school. You can sense a true partnership between the school and the parish. Parents are welcomed to be engaged in their child's education and the school. Parents are encouraged to attend daily prayer and Mass each week with the children. The students are challenged differently as they progress from Pre-K to 8th grade. St. Mary's students primarily head to Bishop Kelly, where they have a strong reputation of being academically prepared as well as being some of the most welcoming and kind students around. I strongly encourage you to check out St. Mary's incredible community.

I recommend Heroes Academy to anyone I meet! Why? Because Heroes Academy provides the type of…read moreenvironment and child-lead learning that I wanted for my kids, yet I didn't know it existed until a few years ago when our full-time traveling family decided to take some time off the road. Now we are settled into Idaho and at Heroes and I don't think our kids will let us ever leave (not that I want to). As an Acton Academy, Heroes encourages every child to think and behave like a hero, not a victim, while embarking on a self-growth journey. They encourage every family and child to be proactive, begin with the end in mind, to hold themselves and others accountable and to high standards. It's a place where children discover their own passions, gifts and begin to lead meaningful and purposeful lives. I have seen incredible growth in all 4 of our children over the last 2 years while attending Heroes Academy. They have developed real life skills such as how to have a meaningful conversation with an adult; how to fail and get back up again; how to speak in front of a large crowd; how to begin finding a passion or start a small business, all without our help. If you're worried that your child isn't actually learning much by completing so many assignments, doing homework each day, taking tests and getting 'good' grades in the assembly line of a traditional public education system, then Heroes Academy might be great for your family. I couldn't be happier with Heroes Academy and all that they have done for our entire family. You see, being a family at Heroes has encouraged my husband and I to continue on our own self-growth journey and to push ourselves each day, while our kids grow right alongside of us.

This school made me discover my passions and really let me focus on what I am interested in. Coming to this school gives you the opportunities no other school would. you get to learn new things every session and it has challenges that teach you to learn, not to remember. i highly recommend this school especially if your child has adhd, add, autism, or anxiety because this place is very welcoming and helped me so much mentally.

Bullying at this school has become an issue and not addressed. Each child is seen as profit so…read moretherefore if one child is bullying they will allow the child to stay and persist in bullying rather than remove the bully from the school. Being a private school you expect more, because each child is so profitable from the monthly income they bring into the school, they will keep a bully vs removing them. Both of my children were bullied, the principal would tell me it will be talked about every time I came for help to protect my child. The bullying continued, so bad my children had to be forced to go to school to not get behind as they felt they endured mental abuse. The rate at which students are leaving this school for another school is high. The principal allows the best students to leave by not addressing the problem students. Every student causing problems can stay and persist in problems rather than being removed permanently as the parents talk in groups about how everyone pulls from the school because the principal is allowing the problem students to maintain bullying. My son now has to be removed from the school because he is crying himself to sleep. the child harassing him has been allowed to do so the entire year no change only empty promises. If your child is harassed, you'll be forced to leave because the harasser will never be asked to leave. Shameful

First of all if your kid didn't go here then why are you leaving a review?…read more Excellent school and excellent staff. Son went here for Pre K and Kinder. Little dude can read incredibly well. He loves his school as we do too. It is structured which is expected and exactly what we wanted. My kids thrive in this environment and can't thank Challenger and staff enough.

I am genuinely heartbroken that I have to write a review like this, but families deserve to know…read moreour experience. We were excited about The Ambrose School. During our tour, they expressed how much they loved our child, how well she would fit, and even told us there was an open spot. All we needed to do was complete the application. We did exactly that. The application asked detailed questions about our specific Christian faith and the church we attend. Within a week of submitting it, we received a cold, impersonal email informing us that our application was being terminated and our fee refunded. No explanation. No conversation. No willingness to clarify anything. Just a closed door. When I reached out and respectfully asked for the reason behind their sudden reversal, we received complete silence. Not even the courtesy of a reply. Based on the timing and the nature of the questions they focused on, it is hard to see this as anything other than religious discrimination. What makes this even more painful is that our child previously attended a nearly identical "Classical Christian" school in another state--with the same curriculum, same values, same books, same structure--and thrived as a straight-A student. She was everything they say they want in a student. Explaining to her why Ambrose had suddenly changed their mind was absolutely heartbreaking. Their academics appear strong, and I am sure many students receive an excellent education. But our experience revealed something far more concerning: a lack of transparency, compassion, and Christlike behavior. The way we were treated was dismissive, exclusionary, and completely out of line with the values they claim to uphold. Families deserve honesty and respect. Sadly, we experienced neither.

We've been attending for 2 years and love it! Definitely a school that desires parent involvement…read morewhich works great for our family!
