What was so impressive to us was the academic ranking nationally among the students, their maturity, self confidence and strong biblical world view. Add to that the personalized attention by every member of the staff and passion for teaching children we see in the Teachers and staff. I believe they are second to none. Both of my boys have excelled at the school and have a maturity and confidence we don't see in many of their peers who attend public schools. This school is worth a visit and once you come to the campus, meet the leadership and see the kids you'll feel good about becoming part of the Stonebridge family.

Stonebridge school has been nothing short of "fresh air" to me and my family. My kids have both…read morebeen there from Pre K through 4th grade. I went to public school and even substituted in local public schools. This school is night and day different. Stonebridge teaches differently and is very non apologetic about their biblical worldview approach and how they teach Christian Self Government. These are principles that don't and won't get taught in public school. Not only have I been over to ALL of my teacher's homes, I've prayed with them, and they have prayed for me. I've had teachers and parents reach out to me asking for prayer and for help. This doesn't happen in public schools. I also see how the parents are involved in this school. You have to be apart and you are to partner WITH the school to instill these principles into your child life. The school will help with direction, but they desire that you and them partner together to make learning fun and educational. Many parents show up for "special" days at school. I've never seen so much parent involvement and every classroom has a "room parent" where we have been invited over to their house for cookouts. They create facebook forums for us to discuss homework and also prayer requests for the children and faculty. Not only do parents help out in the classroom, but last summer we had a "work day" at the school and countless number of parents showed up to paint and help out around the school. Can you imagine that? Parents who are paying private school tuition willing to show up and WORK at a school for FREE. That's how much parents believe in this place. So We have been at the school for 5 years now and not only that, but I have substituted at ALL grade levels. I can't speak highly enough about the attitude of the kids. I have subbed in public schools and you WILL NOT find students who treat adults the same way. Also the students seem to be very close to each other. They go on trips together from when they are small all the way through their "senior trip". This school has also scored the highest score in the country with their seniors the last 2 years in a row for having a "biblical worldview". My wife and I both work in Greenbrier and were driving back and forth to Stonebridge. We both love the school so much that we decided to sell our house and move down the street from Stonebridge. Stonebridge has become a family away from family. We have invested in it and believe in it. It may not be for everyone and is it perfect? NO....Nothing is. But if you're looking for a solid education that is founded in biblical principles, a place for your child to make meaningful and long lasting relationships in life, a place where teachers really care and parents are involved, a place for you as parents to plug in and make many life long friendships; Then Stonebridge is the place for you.

Not only do they educate in history, math, science, English, etc. but they also aide in teaching what is taught in our home as well. Basics such as honesty, integrity, building character, common courtesy & decency- something that unfortunately many have forgotten the importance of. The teachers & administration have always been extremely helpful when needed. In a world that wishes to bring our children down versus building them up, thank you PCS for all your hard work & dedication to our children's education & upbringing. SN-In regards to the 1 star review listed I would like to say, I've personally witnessed how hard the school staff works with the upkeep of PCS & have NEVER witnessed any rats, bugs, etc. even during the building/expansion process a few years ago. Also considering the time that review was written, I believe it more than likely was someone not affiliated with the school at all but that is just my personal opinion after being in the school 100's of times myself.

Our 2 year old son started at Kids Kollege 2 years ago and it has been an absolute joy ever since. The staff is truly amazing.

This is the opposite of Kids Kollege their teachers are so dedicated and most have been there for many, many years. The owner Mrs. Jane(cousin) is a true gem. She loves each student so much and goes out of her way to develop a special bond with each one. Kids Kollege is such a special place and we feel so lucky that our son is able to spend his days there.

(I love and respect teachers!) When my youngest son said he wanted to go to school, I had misgivings. However, I decided to let him go. Honestly, I figured he would stay for a few weeks and then he would hate it. The school year is just about finished and he not only stayed for the whole year but he plans to go back for 5th grade. Named after the first African-American superintendent from Suffolk, Mack Benn Junior Elementary School opened back in 1998. Sadly, Mack Benn Junior drowned during a boat accident. Here are some pros and cons about the school: * The classrooms are small and too many students are crammed. The teachers do their best; speaking about teachers, my son's teacher is Mrs. Maskelony and she rocks! I was so pleased that my son had an awesome teacher for his first time. I also like the principal, David LeFevre. This was his first time at Mack Benn and I think he has been great. He is warm, caring, and attentive. * I am impressed about the gifted program called Quest. Compared to another school and gifted program for my middle son, Quest is much better. The students got to talk to an astronaut virtually and a video conference with Barbara Bush. * I didn't want to talk about the administrators (office staff) because I know it can be a hard job. However, many parents say some of the staff is rude and even my son said the same. When I asked him what he didn't like about the school, he said some administrators aren't very nice. I would rather have my son at home but I have been more impressed than I thought I would. My son has been happy there and that is what matters. I think Mack Benn Jr. is one of the best elementary schools in Suffolk but keep in mind that all of Suffolk schools are subpar.

The teachers and staff go beyond just classroom education to make sure that kids are learning after school by giving up their own off time. PROS: - Teachers are amazing and do their best to educate each child and meet them where they are. - Administrators and office staff get the short end of the stick having to deal with a myriad of personalities and still be expected to smile all the time but they somehow manage to do it. - Community engagement to help parents and students get extra help where needed. CONS: - These poor educators oftentimes have to drag parents in and coerce them into helping their kids with reading and math. The amount of coaxing that is done so that the kids can do well on tests is sad but the school does a good job of trying to entice both students and parents to study after school with their engagement nights. (not sure if this is really a con because it just shows the dedication and lengths these educators will go to for student success)
