You may notice that many of my reviews are 5 star; that's just because it's more fun to write about…read moregreat experiences like Villa Montessori than it is a bad experience. Villa is a God-send for my daughter Kylee. Kylee attended Hopi for a couple of years and it just wasn't working. We moved Kylee over to Villa beginning in 4th grade and she immediately loved it. She is blossoming as a reader and is having fun with her assignments in the Montessori environment. The student to teacher ration is really great. Kylee's classroom of 28 students has a teacher and TWO full time assistants. At hopi Kylee was really struggling, and at VM she has not only become a better student, but also a more confident, assertive, and creative little girl. The 28th Street campus across from Camelback High School is brand new and the setting is just lovely. I feel good about taking Kylee to school here. She is learning, she is safe, and she is loved there. What more could a parent ask for! Hat's off to Villa Montessori. If I could give it 6 stars I would.

We're going into our 8th year as a Villa family and I am so grateful for this wonderful school…read more Both my kids are thriving socially and performing at or above grade level, based on state testing. It's true that if you're looking for a very rigorous/college prep academic experience, this likely isn't the right fit for your family. Villa seems to focus more on fostering curiosity, creativity, independence, community, and leadership. And yet, proficiency in reading, writing and math somehow just seem to happen. Our kids' teachers have been so caring and exceptional at creating a safe and positive classroom community where learning happens naturally. The handful of times I've brought a concern or request to administration, they have been extremely receptive and taken action where needed. It's clear the staff and teachers really care about the kids and their families. No school is perfect, of course, but Villa is a great fit for our family and I'm certain they will be well-prepared for high school when the time comes, both socially and academically.

A true hidden gem for the community! We found this school for our daughter three years ago and…read morechanged our lives forever! She is flourishing where in public schools was left out and behind. I vouch for this school and, if you're struggling finding the right place for your child, give them a try! Don't just submit the application when you apply - go and meet the people, do a "shadow day", and engage.

The entire staff is phenomenal from The teachers all way down to the security guard. Most importantly my son loves it. He said so the other day when I picked him up from school. He said that he is so happy that he gets to go to New Way Academy because it's the best school that he's ever been to. We haven't had one bad experience since we've been here. GOD bless New Way Academy.

The campus is always spotless--from the grounds outside to the hallways inside. The teachers genuinely care about the students, and it shows in everything they do. Mr. Anthony is an amazing principal who has created such a positive, welcoming environment for the children and their families. I wish there were more places to leave a review because I'd happily leave a five-star review on every platform. Thank you to everyone at the school for all that you do for our kids!

Academically, the school is okay. The small class size allows students to get more personalized…read morehelp in their classes. Sports are not great, but it is nice that everyone has a chance to be involved. Music and arts aren't great either, but the same thing goes. However, I have many other things to say. The school has a huge favoritism problem in relation to what some students can get away with, such as the dress code. If your mom helps out around the school and donates a lot, you can wear whatever you want, like short shorts. Otherwise, it's a very strict dress code. Some of the teachers also have really bad favoritism, and some students get away with things that others do not. The principal and especially the counselor are pretty rude, and neither is very helpful. The students are overall terrible. Huge bullying problem to the point where I left halfway through my senior year. I dealt with constant rumors and bullying for two years, and the school failed to help. I've heard sexist, racist, etc. comments. You would think a Christian school would have nice kids, but nope. Everyone talks crap about everyone, even more than they do at public schools, in my opinion. The drug and alcohol problem is also just as bad as it would be at a normal public school. Kids do both during school hours and somehow don't get caught. I overall don't recommend this school. The social environment is terrible and made my anxiety spike all four years.

Our son is a student at Valley Lutheran High School. And, we are sooo happy about his attendance…read morethere. Our son's teachers are very inspiring and highly engaged; they are so supportive. His teachers' commitment to excellence in education within a Christian context is both obvious and palpable. We are excited for him to be a student at VLHS, and we are fully onboard and committed to his education there. The VLHS curriculum is both challenging and nurturing. There is no doubt about that. The facilities are wonderful. Great classrooms...they are new, bright and clean. There are other options for private, Christian education in Phoenix; however, VLHS is intentionally small, and there are distinct advantages to small class size, particularly with the ability to give a lot of attention to each student. To be sure, VLHS is also a value in terms of cost...tuition and fees are about 1/2 the cost of other parochial high schools in the Phoenix. VLHS may well offer the best educational value for the dollar, and it may well be the best kept secret in Phoenix. Graduates go on to many of the finest colleges in the country. Financial assistance is available, too....

When it comes to the Crisis Nursery, it earns every star I give it…read more They have so many program's for the kids it's incredible. Adding to this, they have program's for us parent's. There also have so many resources for parent's and their children. For the less fortunate family's, they often have free food and milk near the door for them to grab on their way out. Often, a dentists will come by in a mobile dentist office for the kids. The staff is very friendly and helpful with a low kid to staff ratio which really helps all the kids get the attention they need. Each room that the children are assigned to has a great deal of stimulation for the children. Almost every day something new is added for the children's senses. There just is so much for them to do and enjoy. The only negative thing that I can say about the Crisis Nursery is that, often it is difficult to find a place to park when picking up and dropping of my kid. Other then that, I can't think of anything.

Worst school I have ever dealt with.

My kid went here last year and everyday I would have to call the office and the principal just to get the teachers to login. When grades came out they didn't give him grades and I am still trying to get the grades 6 months later. 4 out of 5 of his teachers left the school, the principal is gone too, and they can't find any record of his grades. They put him in the wrong grade but won't give him the grades for the courses he took. Now because it's all new people again we can't get his grades because employees can't access grades from before they worked there which includes the registrar. I wouldn't recommend this school to my worst enemy. We are still trying to find his grades and because it's a private school the board of education can't help.

Virtual school is going really well for us and I'm so thankful that I don't have to tutor our son through this like I am with our daughter. Ms. Amber, Mr. Brandon and the staff have clearly communicated with the parents through this making for a much easier transition. KUDOS to you all! A little background for those interested in this school: Our son has been a student at the Tempe location for AZ Aspire for the past three years. He has gone from being in really misunderstood, tough, and defiant place when arriving to flourishing both mentally and academically. I'm not saying it was easy on our family or the AZ Aspire staff, as we know it was NOT! I'm absolutely impressed with the teachers understanding and perseverance while caring for our son. We are so grateful to the AZ Aspire - Tempe campus :)
