Another update is they really need to refresh the counseling dept. I've never been ignored so much in my life as I have been by these counselors. I've also heard my kids and their friends say the same kinds of things. They are just not good. If your kid is a go getter, they will do well at East. But I think all types of kids need attention and help too, and the quiet ones fall through the cracks here. Again, something I've dealt with in our family as well as hearing it from other families.

St. John's has been a truly exceptional place for our children, who have been part of the school…read morecommunity since they were just 18 months old. Under the nurturing and inspiring guidance of Mrs. Mari Koester and Mrs. Sarah Perez, we've had the joy of watching our boys grow not only academically, but also socially, emotionally, and spiritually. Their reading and math skills have exceeded our expectations, but just as importantly, they've developed confidence, compassion, and a genuine love of learning. Entrusting your child's education is one of the most important decisions a parent can make--and for our family, there is simply no other place we would consider. You can tell that the entire staff, including the principal, Dr. Barnard, genuinely cares and wants your child to succeed. St. John's offers a truly holistic approach that honors the whole child, and we're deeply grateful to be part of such a thoughtful and enriching environment!

We enrolled our son in to CoIS in September 2017 and paid $3,100 in deposits & tuition. He attended…read moreschool four days when we received an email that the school was closing and moving 45 minutes away to Broomfield. When we told the director we would no longer be attending CoIS, we were told in writing that we would receive a $2,000 refund on October 22. On October 21 we received an email from CoIS stating they were not going to refund our money and to contact their Board with any issues. We wrote an email to the Board stating we would like the refund that was promised to us, and indicated it did not make sense for us to pay $3,100 for four days of school. We have not heard a word from them. I do not recommend this school for your children, and do not trust the director and Board that are running it. I believe they took advantage of us and multiple other families that did not receive their refund.

Denver Academy is not the solution you are looking for…read more There were many situations that happened at my expense including a teacher announcing in front of the whole class that I had to be in therapy, in order to embarrass me. Another time my parents tried to write an email to the school about how it was hard for me to do a "working lunch" (where you sit in the classroom instead of going outside to complete work) because of issues with eating in the past. They completely disregarded my parents' worries until they escalated it to the principal who finally and indignantly accepted that I could sit in another room to do my work. At that point I hadn't been able to eat lunch at school for around a month. At one point during the year I finally felt comfortable eating in class and the teacher made a comment along the lines of "well looks like your parents were just being dramatic because now you can eat just fine, huh?" The same teacher later allegedly "mistook" my name in an email for someone else, (whose name sounds nor looks like mine in any way so he took me out of class during my final exam, yelled at me in his office until I was crying, threatened to expel me and told me I couldn't get into any college if I had that on my record. When my parents emailed him about it, he completely denied it and lied about it. This was what ultimately led me to have to leave the school halfway through the year and now I am completing the rest of my sophomore year online in a different program. This school takes advantage of desperate parents who want what is best for their child who has most likely been struggling in school. Their signature quote "We teach students the way they learn best" should be changed to "We teach students the way that is easiest for us". Where parents and kids think they have finally found a safe space for their kid to grow and thrive it is actually the opposite. The sheer amount of bullying from teachers and students alike that I witnessed at my time there is more than any public school I have ever been to in my life. Please do not send your child here.

Now, my husband (also an RMSEL graduate) and I are looking at the school for our kindergarten-aged child. While RMSEL has grown and changed over the years, I believe its core values remain the same. The key takeaways I received from my time there are life skills that have followed me into adulthood and served me well in my career--resiliency, problem-solving, and independence. The expeditions were life-changing in so many ways: they offered my first experiences with developing countries, and they required a level of self-discipline that shaped who I am today. We currently have friends whose children are in kindergarten at RMSEL, and we love hearing about their experiences. Small class sizes, meeting children where they are, and introducing expeditions at such a young age are key reasons we're excited to return as a family. As a teenager, RMSEL was a blessing to me, even when I didn't always see it that way. Returning as an adult, I could recognize how the expeditions build resilience--even when the students themselves don't yet realize it. This school pushes kids to step outside their comfort zones, and many won't appreciate the benefits until years later. The very things I resisted as a teen are now the things I credit most for my personal growth. If you're looking for a school that teaches more than academics--a place that nurtures real-world life skills that will serve your children well into adulthood--RMSEL is a truly special place.

This school is a great school! If you like the outdoors. Every semester you get to go on a "crew…read moretrip"! Basically you travel out of the state with you class for a week. The destination is usually tied to your current learning and you basically get to learn about it in real time and it is very fun. This school also has a great community with doing stuff from "RMSEL Olympics" to "the cereal box challenge" and many more. This school is nothing like I've ever been to and it is an amazing experience. 10/10

Ok this review is about the way the High School volleyball coach seems to categorize everything on…read morethe volleyball court under 1 umbrella... therefore the coach can allow what she deems fit and not really training or teaching how to be a better player/person on the court or how to even play as a team.....the team has to practice and play together, if the coach really wants them to learn. I understand that there is a rule if you do not attend practice they can not play, well I guess the rules only apply to those they claimed to have called or let the coach know they will not be at practice but they sure do get to play. However we would have to pull phone records or messaging to see if the Coach is lying or not being honest. The coach has her favorite students to play she has no problem doing that at all. I know they have input these rules about your child is not guaranteed to play this is called CYA cover your ass..... all the girls are playing but 2 of them sit on the bench now I'm not sure how this Coach is giving the athletes improvement and performance skills when they are not allowed to play together as a team.....

The accelerated math and focus on research/writing gave my daughter a huge advantage in her current IB high school program.

"Immersion" happens twice a year, and involves a few days of "deep diving" into non-traditional subjects to accommodate the way gifted children tend to learn. The topics change each time, so there is a wide berth of opportunities. The take-home workload often matches the pace of the classrooms, and parent/adult involvement is important to the overall success of children as they grow and evolve. Our family has had a fantastic experience here.

She got to take a bunch of AP classes and got good scores. She went on to attend an Ivy League uni. My one negative is that they did not allow her to skip 9th grade math of which 67.45% was a repeat of 8th grade at St Anne's.

Very disappointed in the way that Mike Davis and the Board have dealt with COVID. While other local…read moreschools are normalizing, they are telling parents that kids will be wearing masks and social distancing when school begins in August, 2021. By then, most high-risk folks will have been vaccinated. But, CA continues to put the needs of others over the social and emotional wellbeing of their students. There's talk that the kids will be able to "vaccinate their way out of wearing masks and social distancing in the fall." Some parents are not interested in this possibility until more information about vaccinating younger people becomes known. If you don't want to vaccinate your younger students, I'd look into another school.

The teachers tend to be republican along with many of the students however very few teachers make their views known to students besides the occasional slip up. The teachers for 7th and 8th are not the best but after that it tends to get better. One problem some might have is the closed campus. While there being a closed campus on its own is not bad the food there isn't good at all. Your only option to get a good meal is to make your own lunch and bring it to school but that isn't always an option. Also if you want to be able to spend time with your child then don't send them to develyn as the work load is over the top with the principal saying that 3 hours of homework should be the norm. Overall, if your child does not cope with stress well do not send them here. In the end I don't think that this school is right for most people.
