The first day of scheduled driving he call 5 hours before her lesson and cancels saying he can't make it because he has to fit in another kid. The next day at the time of her appointment he texts saying he'd be 45 minutes late. I call him and he tells me I have to be flexible and he can't expect him not be run late or be on time and that its not his fault if he has to wait for the DMV. When I ask him if he is booking too many kids "I probably am booking to many kids". That was it I canceled the service and requested a refund. Now my poor daughter has to wait God knows how long for her permit since all the other schools are booked up. He's awful for doing this to a kid. He is a person poorly running a business that expects the customer to be at his whim. Again do yourself a favor and find someone else.

Then, when she learned that my son is turning 17 this June, she remarked with disdain, "You know you're late, right?". Don't come here if you're 25! And since we couldn't do Saturday mornings for his classes, she seemed relieved to cancel the registration. But it was all in her haughty facial expressions and the condescending tone of voice that struck a note of repulsion in me. I bid her, "Sorry, for wasting your time. Now you can go home."

Yet when it came to dealing with the office staff I was met with a terrible experience. The lady seems to not be able to control her tone of voice and belittles those who provide her with a minor convenience. I've asked politely the first time around for a copy of my certification that i completed their 6-hour class and I was asked for my name and time when I completed my classes. She never asked for my email the first time because she seemed very persistent to end the phone call that would've just taken 5 minutes of her time. She said I'd have the papers provide with me the next day and they never came around. Their office is closed for the weekend and on top of the office only being opened for 2 hours it's very difficult for anyone to be able to call at a approiate time on a normal work day. Provided I needed this document 3 days prior. I call back a second time and she hits me with the excuse that the email was provided incorrectly. I spell out the email word for word and it has now been 2 days and I have yet to recieve the document which in turn is costing me money.

I used a school in queens that had my driver picking up FaceTimes while in the car with me. I was over it, figured I'd never do it. But I was also over losing my independence. Morristown isn't as walkable as queens. So I called A-1 Peck. Chris was my instructor and from the first day, he was wonderful. He knew my area was congested so he took me to a nearby town with wide, empty roads, to help me build my confidence. He was kind with corrections and never made me feel like I couldn't accomplish the road test. He'd listen to me complain, made great conversation, all while giving me the skills to not only pass, but drive with confidence once I got my license. (Chris also didn't look at his phone ONCE unlike my driving instructor in Queens). With Chris' help, I passed on my first try after 8 hours of lessons (plus one hour of review pre test). It wound up being inches of snow for my test, but he helped me navigate that so I wasn't totally blindsided. A-1 Peck has such a great reputation with the MVC, that my tester even commented on how nice of a person Chris is. Really, just a stellar, stellar experience. If I had failed the first time, I would have written the same review, because you know that A-1 Peck gave you the skills you needed. Just a note, there is a cancellation fee if you cancel lessons same day (I think 24 hours in advance is the limit) and book EARLY! This school is so popular that I was scheduling weeks out. Luckily I work from home so I'm flexible and could take less desirable slots, but if you need something specific, book WELL in advance. And ask for Chris!!

The driving instructor - Donald started by asking to many personal questions. I'm taking lessons to brush up what does it matter if I people around me and other questions As I drove I stopped a bit to hard well he just screamed at me. I then began to feel unsafe and wondered how he treated young drivers. If he didn't have patience and guidance what am I paying him for, my specific questions were addressed by telling me to read the driving manual. As I couldn't wait for the class to end, the car's tire had a puncture. We had to stop on the side of the road, well as soon as he got out he started cursing out loud as to why these things happen. It was quite a show. Once he finished and got back into the car he owed me 25 minutes because the lesson ended early. But he tells me next time he'll give me an extra 5 or 10 minutes. Needless to say I will never use this company again. If the driving instructor has no patience and handles problems that arise by screaming profanity all over the road, he has no business being an driving instructor.

My husband and I were very concerned about the state of education in NJ. Not only were we opposed…read moreto many of the things that were recently placed in the state curriculum standards, we really desired our daughter to develop a love of learning. From our friends' experience and warnings, it seemed to be a major issue in both the public AND private schools and progressively worsening -- teaching for the tests, no matter what the cost to the child. When our daughter was in pre-k, I read about St. Ann Classical Academy in the newspaper. My husband and I went to visit, despite also being very critical of the Catholic schools as well (even as practicing Catholics), and we were very surprised at what we found: a school that expected us to be her primary educators and the plan to support us in her education. Classical education has been a joyful surprise. This school and its education have awoken such a love of learning in my daughter, I think my husband and I have also caught the bug. I drive 30 minutes each way for this school, and we plan on relocating in the future for it. I'm not sure how I could write a better review. Life-changing education. The kids don't even want to leave at the end of the day.

There is no playground, aftercare often felt more like detention than an enriching program, and over time we became concerned about significant gaps in the curriculum. The very small class sizes also became a concern for us in terms of opportunities for our children's socialization, growth, and development. Most disappointing was that the Catholic values we hoped would be reflected in compassion and empathy from church and school leadership were not always evident in our experience, particularly in the understanding shown toward our adopted children. very disappointing. For the cost, I strongly encourage families to carefully compare St. Ann's classical academy with other private and public-school options.
