Everything good we've heard about Milton Academy seems to be true so far in our first year…read more Aside from their academic reputation, it's also apparent that Milton focuses heavily on developing community citizens. They engage students by encouraging volunteer time during school hours, and also parents by allowing them to interact to help students in various ways. The curriculum allows students to take lessons in chess and Chinese even beginning in Kindergarten. There is a curriculum plan for the year even in K -- but they fold teaching into creative ways of learning, and the students seem to love being here. The campus is expansive and impressive, but also inviting and playful. There's always a good positive vibe and energy around campus. I especially like how open and inviting the Head of School and leadership are to questions and feedback. They openly encourage parents to inquire and provide input so they can continue improving.

The teachers are enthusiastic and passionate about learning and make every single day fun. The small class sizes allow for a strong nurturing relationships between staff and students, and my child feels welcomed and loved already. I appreciate that Delphi's reading program teaches students to read at such a young age and provides them with a genuine love for learning. It isn't forced upon them and that was something I loved when I went- I became a strong independent learner which helped me through college and into my career. Many of the staff that worked there when I was young are still present- which means a lot in this day and age. After a few weeks our son already loves his class, his teacher Miss Pam and the fun activities they do daily- art, music, outside time twice a day, painting, reading class, etc

Our biracial daughter attended this school 2 years ago and while the hours were nice and the…read moreteachers were nice to my face (I'm white), my daughter did not love it there. On several occasions, she explained that when there were disagreements at school, she was singled out and asked to remove herself from the group. The teachers never talked to me about it, so unfortunately, I dismissed it. I wish I didn't. After meeting with and speaking to other mixed race families and the few minority families, I am convinced this is a bigger problem. The worst part is, they don't think it's a problem, because they don't recognize that they are treating children differently. The school needs some major diversity training...or they can just stick to only caring for their white students, because that is what has kept them open all these years. For any mixed families, this is a hard pass.

We knew when our family started our journey at The Village School that it was a bucolic setting…read morewith a beautiful outdoor space, bright and cheery classrooms with fantastic teacher/student ratios, and the emergent play-based curriculum that we were looking for. What we didn't know is that The Village School would become the cornerstone of our family life and set the foundation for lasting friendships and connections for our kids and us too. The director and teachers are so devoted and dedicated to getting to know each individual child and meeting them on their unique educational continuum. Even when my daughters were in their first year programs I was blown away at conference time by how the teachers knew and understood their personalities and learning styles so well, despite only spending 2 or 3 mornings together each week. The Village School is truly such a special place, and we could not ask for a better first school experience for our daughters. We'll be sad to send our last off to kindergarten next year, but know that she has all of the tools she needs, socially, emotionally, and academically, to set her up for success!

We provide a variety of developmentally appropriate learning experiences to promote each child's social, intellectual, emotional, and physical growth.

I am extremely disappointed with this school. During open house, they paint a picture of being…read moreaccommodating and supportive of students with IEPs and special needs, but that could not be further from the truth. The lack of safety, accountability, and proper supervision is alarming. The behavior in this school is out of control--there are constant fights, bullying, and students getting hurt, yet nothing is ever done. Incidents are repeatedly brushed under the rug. My son has been harmed multiple times since the beginning of the school year, and despite being a strong advocate, nothing has been done to protect him. The school claims to investigate, but there is never any follow-up or real action. A 7th grader was bullied so badly that students took a picture of him in the bathroom and spread it around--and still, nothing happened. Another student was body slammed outside, in front of two staff members, and was out of school for a week due to his injuries. Yet, no action was taken. Kids have to prepare themselves mentally, emotionally and physically to step foot in that school, which should not be the case. There is no sense of safety or respect in this school. The administration seems indifferent, and the well-being of students is clearly not a priority. Parents, be aware--this is not the safe, supportive environment they claim it to be. My son will not return to that school next year, and I have spoke to a good amount of parents that will be doing the same as well.
