My overall experience left me with the impression that this is an overpriced and underperforming…read moreprogram. I was very apprehensive initially and shared my concerns with the program director after the initial testing and results. She assured me that my concerns relating to phonics would be addressed and added to the program. She also stated that our 7th grade daughter is at 6th grade reading and comprehension level. After nearly two weeks completed, 4 classes per week scheduled at the latest possible time to have as few students present, none of the items we discussed were accomplished. I made a phone after the first week to the education director (the person responsible for the individualized program for our daughter and who worked with her at least once per week) to inquire as to why the Sylvan site showed her starting with 7th grade level material when she tested for 6th and why phonics was not introduced as promised. Her response was one of encouragement, give the program time to introduce the phonics, and that she would look into the level at which she started. The next week went without the introduction of phonics again but they did manage to load that aspect onto the website as an area to cover at least! Overall, we pulled our daughter out of this over promised and under delivering program after 8 classes in which the best thing our daughter remembers is earning candy as a reward/recognition. I was very leary reading all the online reviews and was repeatedly told by the program director, "this, in no way, reflects upon individual learning in Merrillville, Schererville, or Valporaiso." She maintained that everyone may have different experiences with various regions/states, but the three centers associated in NW Indiana do not have these issues. I beg to differ hence why we no longer attend. I strongly encourage you to contact your school guidance counselors for resources and to avoid this institition, well at least the Merrillville location (closest to us in Crown Point).

Had watched several great staff members leave or be let go because of the incompetence of the founding administrators bending over for these types of parents. The best that can be said about this place is the athletic program, they have good coaches and win titles but keep in mind the competition isn't always the best. They teach a Christian curriculum but in the end they are after the $$

The school has been absolutely amazing for the development of both of my children. When my oldest…read morestarted, he needed speech therapy. After he graduated from the program, we felt completely comfortable not continuing with therapy because of the level of care, support, and dedication he received from his teachers. They have helped him grow and learn everything he needed, and he has since developed a strong interest in math and all things science that the school offers. My youngest has been in the classroom for less than a year, and watching her development flourish has been incredible. The communication between parents and teachers is exceptional and has created such a strong relationship with the school. They stay in constant communication with us throughout the school day and even after school. I highly, highly, highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a place for their child--from infancy through 6 years old.

My niece was struggling with Chemistry so my sister contacted Sylvan for possible assistance. I…read morework at Huntington in Chicago so when she told me they were charging for service I told her it was a good deal as we charge more. My niece had previously attended Sylvan when she was in primary school so she was familiar with them. My sister contracted with them to provide Subject tutoring (chemistry) for my niece. There was a delay to the start as my niece plays basketball for her school. By the time the basketball practice schedule came out several days had passed for which my sister told them way ahead of time. Eventually it reached the point where there was no way the schedules was going to gel so my sister canceled totally. The first person she talked to said she couldn't get a refund because Sylvan had created a schedule. Yes that's right she couldn't get a refund because Sylvan HAD CREATED A SCHEDULE. Not that she had attended a session. No, no, no. Not that she had called at the last minute to cancel. No no no. Not that she had no called no show. No no no. She had never attended a session at all. They felt they were due the money because THEY HAD CREATED A SCHEDULE! The second person she talked to, one Stephanie Miller who claimed to be the owner of that Franchise was condescending, Rude and extremely dismissive. "I am the top of the chain of command and there will be no refund issued because we created a schedule for her. It doesn't matter that she never attended." We don't know if there were great tutors there able to help my niece or understand chemistry because SHE NEVER ATTENDED. There probably were. The bottom line is this if you feel like giving money to Sylvan for nothing then go right ahead call Sylvan. My sister didn't buy that many hours but some people pay more and to get told that there is no refund because they created a paper schedule is fair out and out ridiculous. The ultimate in Greedy Grasping Money Hungry business. If you could call it a business. And one Stephanie Miller with her condescending attitude is that me to be avoided at all cost. Customers mean nothing to her except an open bank account.

I enjoyed the experience and the principles this place was founded upon. The education wasn't the greatest, but to be successful you need to be a great student; you don't need a great school. The teachers come in and out every year. Some teachers have been very faithful and have stuck around since opening day. The difference about these teachers is that not all of them are not elite educators, but they have initiative and the will to help you learn and understand, which is most important on my eyes. Books are a little outdated, but they focus on the major subjects like math, English, and reading.
