The teachers, supervisors, techs and even the front-desk are absolutely wonderful-always smiling and positive and the classes are small, which I love because the kids are able to get so much attention and support that you could never get at public schools. Then they add in individual programs for the kids to work on after completing intake testing and it makes for such an incredible place that challenges each student to learn at their best ability while giving them great socialization at the same time. My son is able to learn preschool basics while also working through some of his behaviors. Just like at the SPBS clinic, the staff records all program data results in real time on their iPads so they can always track a child's progress and readjust when necessary. Even for my daughter, not only is she learning to read but the school worked with her outside OT to find out exercises and strategies that they could incorporate into her daily routine to help encourage the use of her right hand. They also have peer students to make sure that students have exposure to kids without any behavior or developmental issues. The students learn about different places each week, make fun crafts, have show and tell plus other various fun activities such as going to the park, playground games, yoga and obstacle courses. The school even works on skills such as sharing, taking turns, getting someone's attention, waiting, responding, table manners, etc. As a parent, you also are able to join ClassDojo to get pictures and videos of the kids working on things throughout the week, which makes my day to get to see. Lastly, they care so much about ensuring the success of their students that they voluntarily assist with their MET meetings and future placement. I only wish we could keep our kids here for longer!

My grandchildren moved to Atonement in 6th grade, which was a very difficult decision. It was quickly apparent to their parents what a great choice they had made. The kids are excited about learning and strive to do their best! This school offers project based learning activities and hands-on experiences. There are tons of field trips and extra-curricular choices, including football, volleyball and cooking classes! Atonement excels at building a community where parents, children & staff are respected and valued. As a grandmother and a former elementary teacher, I have been extremely impressed with this school! FIVE STARS!

We take them to the school 2-3 day a week and it is night and day of how they view school. They are now excited to go to school in the morning. They talk about what the class will be doing that day. I love that they use books and it isn't sitting down at a computer or on a tablet most of the day. The science teacher actually does hands-on learning to complement the lessons. We met the teachers and they impressed us as well as the school principal that will sub if a teacher is out rather than a part time substitute. They also let the kids be kids by having a longer lunch break and they let them go outside to play. They also have a great financial aid person that helps the parents navigate the rules for ESA funding as well as other charitable organizations. They also are in a league with other schools for sports. Something else they do is that a player has to maintain a level of grades or they don't play. We have actually seen that on one team's star player having to sit out due to low grades. The kids then all helped that student in school to get their grade up so they could play the next week. Our grandkids are learning so much in school academic wise but also socially on the playground and in playing a sport. I can't say enough good things how this school has transformed my grandkids who did not like school into ones that love school and most importantly want to learn.

Like so many parents struggling during this pandemic to work full time and home school their kids-- we were in the same boat and frustrated. But, the Promise School was not only an answer for a safe, in-person education---we continue to be stunned by the amazing education our son is receiving. In September, we enrolled our 7 year-old in second grade. He was not only struggling with reading, writing and math, his confidence was really low. But, in just three months, his teachers have transformed him into a kid who is fully confident in his abilities and loves his school and learning. He is truly receiving next-level education in a warm, supportive environment from teachers who whole-heartedly care about him and what he can achieve. We are so fortunate to have found The Promise School--- there is truly nothing like it in the Valley. Shaun and Brady Breese

At playtime, the teachers will have the new kid to pick someone to be a partner. During the playtime, partnered kids will have to stick together (to play). Every day, kids pick a different partner. This in turn, helped my daughter transitioning very well. They School has Yoga class and Music class once a week. The kids go to the garden and plant vegetables in Spring and harvest in Fall. Once a year, they have International Fest, Music Fest, Yoga Demonstration, Children's Thanksgiving Feast, etc..Despite the fact of lacking social interactions, this is a true learning environment. You won't see kids screaming or shouting here. I see kids as young as three here, behaving properly and learning to be independent. I arrange play dates, go to park, do swimming, and gymnastic for my kid's social and physical. For the past years, my daughter has thrived. She sounds out words, she is calmer, and she learned dinosaurs, the continents, and the solar system at age four. The quality of education and learning experience my daughter has been received is extraordinary. I feel safe leaving my child there every day and I truly believe that they have my child's best in mind.
