I am a proud parent of two young children that attend Cliff Valley School. I find the pre-K…read moreprogram to be a warm and loving environment that is fully entrenched in the child directed learning approach. This thoroughly researched approach is a wonderful advantage because although there is a curriculum, it's nice to have freedom to expand upon something that is important to the students, which in turn, excite their learning even more. My son, in the pre-K program for two years, is moving on to Kindergarten this year with happy anticipation. I believe the success of any school can be measured when a child truly wants to go to school to find what subjects he or she will learn that day and in turn, can't wait to share their learning successes with me, the parent. At an early learning stage, I believe you cannot ask of any school for more than instilling a desire to learn which hopefully will follow them throughout their education. I noticed the previous reviewer mentioning the age range of students in Pre-K as a negative. Actually, a mixed age classroom of 3.5-5 years old is advantageous as it fosters leadership in the older children and allows the younger children to model behaviors and learn some skills at a faster pace from the older children. This is a learning method that many successful schools have incorporated into their preschool programs and many Montessori programs offer the same design as well. I am happy with the efforts put forth by Cliff Valley School and the results seen in my children; therefore, I would encourage any parent to consider Cliff Valley for their child's education

This school is more concerned about money than the students. They purchase a gym before a school…read morenurse or counselor and are constantly hitting you up for money. The teachers are great, for the most part, but the principal's ego is entirely too inflated.

After 9th grade, when my public school became so violent and overcrowded that it was no longer…read moresafe, I got sent to Paideia. My 3 years here were the best years of my entire educational career - including college and grad school! This place really is the most amazing school ever. I remember my first day just like it was yesterday. I was accompanied by one of my best friends, who was also making the big switch to a more civilized school. We sat in front of the bathrooms for like 10 minutes trying to figure out which one was for boys and which was for girls. Turned out you just use whichever one is open! In addition to just being an awesome environment, where you are accepted for being whoever you are, Paideia has a great curriculum. The year is divided into short and long terms. In the long terms, you take the standard stuff - physics, math, languages, etc. The short term is for classes that are a little more outside the box - Sociology of American Rock & Roll anyone? The teachers here are absolutely outstanding! You can totally tell that they love the school and truly believe in it's mission. And Paul, the headmaster, is just an all around great guy. Graduation was awesome. My graduating class was 57 people and Paul made a short speech about every single one of us! I am so thankful that I was able to go to Paideia on a scholarship. I regularly give them money so that others can do so as well. I am also backing them in their efforts to take over the whole block! Go Paideia!

From the owner: Paideia is an independent pre K-12 school located in Druid Hills. The school has become known for…read morethe individual attention it provides its students, for strong academics, for strong athletics and arts programs, and for a vibrant community spirit. Paideia is recognized nationally as a top college preparatory school.
