We were, and have continued to be so thankful we chose RMAE. Our children have thrived in the school room, something we attribute to the culture of the school, the teachers, Dr. Hudson, parents and students alike. We feel cared for, supported and like a member of the family there. I have witnessed genuine care and customized, professional advice for both our children time and time again. We couldn't be more happy at RMAE.

I graduated Golden View 2 years ago. What can I say about this school to sum up my love for it…read more Golden view changed me both as a student and as a person. I learned what it meant to have virtue. The teachers are the best people you will ever meet. Their joy and wonder for life and learning inspires me to this day. However, this school is not for the weak of heart. It takes grit and determination to do well with their classical education. But if you commit, you will learn what it truly means to be human. My love for learning flourished as did my love for the world around me. I will send my kids here one day. And hopefully be apart of the Golden View family forever.

From the owner: Golden View Classical Academy is modeled after the most successful classical and liberal arts…read moreschools in Colorado. Golden View Classical Academy offers a robust and traditional liberal arts and sciences curriculum, to include literature, history, science, math, art, music, and physical education. In the elementary school, students are taught to read using an explicit phonics program with a focus on grammar and spelling, along with cursive handwriting. Saxon and Singapore math are strategically sequenced to take advantage of the strengths of each program. An early exposure to Latin and Greek roots is followed by a formal Latin sequence in grades 6-9 in order to enhance the student's vocabulary, spelling, and command of the English language. In the upper grades, instruction includes a course in rhetoric, the use of primary source documents, Socratic seminar, and the study of classical literature that has withstood the test of time. Golden View Classical Academy also includes a special focus on Western Civilization, US History, and the principles of America's model of government and free-market economic system.

The staff to student ratio was out of compliance with state rules and regulations. Most mornings at drop-off, only one EA staff member was present in the building with 10-13 kids of various ages; 2-3 infants in the mix. Student/Staff ratios and other safety concerns, such as placing infants to sleep on their stomachs, reusing the same bottle several times throughout the day, babies sleeping on unsupported pillows on the floor, teachers playing on cellphones and not attending to the kids were brought to the attention of the director/owner, who became defensive and dishonest after we brought forth our concerns. Finding a safe, affordable, and stable learning environment is a stressful task for parents. The state provides licensing standards and now makes all complaints and violations available to parents: http://www.colorado.gov/apps/jboss/cdhs/childcare/lookup/index.jsf

Our kids went to MSE for about 1,5 years. Due to personal circumstances we had to move from…read moreColorado to Texas without prior notice. This resulted in us informing the school, 2 months before the new school year started about our move. We had several interactions with Ms. Chong, who helped us as good as she could within he boundaries set by Mark Gustavson. It became clear to us that the school was planning on enforcing the contract signed by my wife (I already saw issues potentially coming and did not sign the contract) in Feb to reenroll our kids into the new schoolyear, with pushing hard to sign or there would be no space left in the classroom. They really expect us to pay a full year's tuition of both kids even though I never signed the contract and we moved before the schoolyear even started. (They claim its damages, yet for preschool there is a waiting list and my youngest son spot was filled within 1 week, also the spot for my oldest kid was filled by another student). Last year they had a tuition insurance in their contract, but somehow without warning this year is has been removed and could no longer be used, how convenient. Now a couple months in they are making threats with lawyers, collections and arbitration (of course since these are not public) after they refused to contact me for a call on the matter. The Empathic capabilities of Mark are non-existing. Also, when our oldest started his new year in a new school, we found out that MSE did a horrible job in education. He was behind 10month of 12 in reading. MSE only had 6 kids in his years classroom yet they were incapable of noticing he had reading issues due to tracking problems. Now that he has special glasses he caught up and is ahead of his pears in reading skills. MSE is not a cheap private school so I do think we should be expecting more of them than what they provide. The only thing I can give to the people in evergreen, be aware when enlisting and trusting your kids to this school, they don't care about the well-being of your kids nor their education. All they care is about taking your money. We will push this case to court and see what MSE is allowed to do within Colorado laws and what action we can take for paying the full years tuition and not providing the actual quality of education they pretend to provide. Updates will follow as this case goes along.
