The instructors were highly knowledgeable and patient, and our daughter learned so much from each of them. With her busy schedule, we decided to have her take the online course and was happy that she enjoyed it so much. It gave her all the knowledge she needed to do her drives and score well, even on the very first one. Since this was her first ever online course for a class, it gave her the confidence to know she can be successful taking online classes too. Being a good driver is important and teaches students many life skills. We are very happy Excel Driving School and staff gave her the start.

Seeing a couple of these negative reviews, made me want to share our experience. My son has been…read moreattending for 4 1/2 years now and we have had a terrific experience. We found Ambose online before we moved to Boise and it has exceeded our expectations. The philosophy of the school is great, but it's really the people that create such a special environment. The teachers and staff have been really good and are the kind of people you want as neighbors and friends. The five teachers that we have had so far have been personally invested in our sons success and development. When my son has had some success at things, he hears from all of his former teachers and the administration. They are truly excited for him and proud of his achievements. Mr. Warmouth, the Dean of the Grammar School, is amazing! His involvement and insightfulness have been really instrumental for us. One of things that I want as a parent is for his teachers to see my child as I do. To help us work on their weakness's, but also to recognize their strengths... and their potential. That's what our experience has been. They help to teach the kids accountability, morality and ethics... and they ask them to "live it". It feels like we are a team and that we are all pulling in the same direction. It all comes down to what you want from a school. I respect that not everyone wants the same things that we do, but I think some of these reviews reflect things that we have never experienced. I know a large number of families that have moved here or completely rearranged their lives so their children can go to school here. The tuition isn't easy for us and we know a few families that have had to leave for financial reasons. I don't think it's unreasonable, but it's a sacrifice for us and I'm sure for some others. The retention rate has been about 90% from year to year, which seems pretty high. If you are thinking about Ambrose, then go meet some of the people there and talk to some of the families involved. Judge for yourself, but I wouldn't be scared away by some of these anedoctal reviews. It doesn't mean that it is a fit for everyone, but my family and I view it as one of the best parenting decisions that we have ever made for our son. BTW, in regard to the person who said they said they had a bad basketball experience... I find that really hard to believe. We have participated in all kinds of things at this school and others and from my experience, this is the last place that you will find people acting like that,

I am genuinely heartbroken that I have to write a review like this, but families deserve to know…read moreour experience. We were excited about The Ambrose School. During our tour, they expressed how much they loved our child, how well she would fit, and even told us there was an open spot. All we needed to do was complete the application. We did exactly that. The application asked detailed questions about our specific Christian faith and the church we attend. Within a week of submitting it, we received a cold, impersonal email informing us that our application was being terminated and our fee refunded. No explanation. No conversation. No willingness to clarify anything. Just a closed door. When I reached out and respectfully asked for the reason behind their sudden reversal, we received complete silence. Not even the courtesy of a reply. Based on the timing and the nature of the questions they focused on, it is hard to see this as anything other than religious discrimination. What makes this even more painful is that our child previously attended a nearly identical "Classical Christian" school in another state--with the same curriculum, same values, same books, same structure--and thrived as a straight-A student. She was everything they say they want in a student. Explaining to her why Ambrose had suddenly changed their mind was absolutely heartbreaking. Their academics appear strong, and I am sure many students receive an excellent education. But our experience revealed something far more concerning: a lack of transparency, compassion, and Christlike behavior. The way we were treated was dismissive, exclusionary, and completely out of line with the values they claim to uphold. Families deserve honesty and respect. Sadly, we experienced neither.

I am writing because I saw the previous review posted…read more I graduated from NLC in in December of 2015. After a few weeks of searching I was able to find work in the power delivery field. I will admit that the job market is is rough in the winter months, but it only took me a little bit of time. NLC has been there for me every step of the way. From letting me continue to use their facility to practice prior to upcoming interviews, or the library to look at different companies standards of construction or to put in resumes. The previous review also mentions that the gear given doesn't fit because her son is over 6' tall, I personally am 6'3" tall and over weight, and my gear is great. I have needed the gear I purchased at skills assessments along the way, and further I'm glad that we didn't have to rent any gear as I wouldn't trust someone else to maintain the gear that I trust my life to. I also want to respond to the fact that the college requires physical task to be completed. It does, oh boy howdy does it. These task though, are the same tasks that I have experienced at any interview that I have participated in. It is a physically demanding trade, and as a graduate I am glad that they maintain high standards for people completing, as if they lowered those standards it would only serve to weaken the reputation of NLC. I can tell you that not every job in the power delivery field will require line school, but I also know that without it I wouldn't currently have a job in the trade. I am glad that I saw the previous review and was able to set the record straight as a former student and graduate. Thanks for all you have done for me NLC!
