    We have been incredibly pleased here. We have experienced both K-5 and JH with our two children…read more Teachers care and the education is excellent, but the focus on students being good people is the most important aspect for us. Our kids have grown personally and academically with adults around them who care.

    As a graduated senior of previously going to the school for 6 years, I can guarantee you that this…read moreschool has a very strong elementary school foundation. But do NOT send your kids here for middle school and high school. Thales has extremely poor curriculums, space, and funding for the JH/HS. Specifically on the Cary campus. While I spent my time at Thales each year there would be a significant amount of staff leaving the school. Every year almost all of the teachers would be new. The reason why is because the school is in so much debt that they are making budgets cuts to teacher salary. While also using a building that is so small for the students. For reference, there are not many kids at the school at all. There is 10 freshmen, 5 juniors, 6 seniors, 13 sophomores. But yet the hallways are always crammed with such a small amount of kids because the buildings they chose to have were not mean't to have a school in. My senior year, there wasn't enough staff due to them all leaving, so me and my friends were eating lunch on gym bleachers everyday, since there is no cafeteria, and there wasn't enough teachers to have us eat in one of there classrooms. Thales academy is a 7,000 dollar a year school, but you could get a much better experience at any other public school. DO NOT send your kids here, look for a different private or charter school as an alternative. This school is atrocious.

    We love Primrose of West Cary! Our children attend now, in the toddler room and the private…read morepre-kindergarten room, and all of the teachers are incredible. My son loves Ms. Watson and Ms. Philbrinck! They are so patient and so clearly care about him holistically, not just as another head count in the class. They do such fun projects that incorporate developmentally appropriate curriculum and my son loves to talk about the things he's learning through play. The teachers also obviously use productive guidance for correcting behaviors and you can just tell they love the kids and want the best for them. My daughter's teachers Jenna and Sara are also both incredible women who work with the toddlers. My daughter has no hesitation when we drop her off, she's excited to spend the day with her friends and teachers, too. The exploration and play in her room is well rounded and it's obvious that they're helping the kids meet milestones AND have a blast. You can also tell how much these teachers pour into caring for the kids. I know my daughter is loved from the moment she arrives to the minute she leaves! We're very happy with the programs, the lunch and snack options, and the teachers and staff. Thank you all for being part of our village! We've been here for six months now and everything is going well. Communication is great, and they also send out awesome newsletters every week to help keep us informed on family fun throughout the area.

    Great school! Great staff! From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed by every staff member we…read moremet, from leadership and teachers.
