    The Clearwater School is a true testament to the values of diversity, inclusion, and community…read more Within a year of being there, my 8-year-old son (then six), who had never before felt comfortable in social groups outside his family, began calling this place his second home. He was given the time and space to build relationships with staff and other students at his own pace, always supported but never rushed. Children at Clearwater learn what they are interested in, developing one of the most valuable lifelong skills--how to learn. Through observation and thoughtful discussions with students, staff, and family, my son has deepened his understanding of people, the world around him, and, most importantly, himself. In his two years at Clearwater, he has learned to navigate conflicts through the Justice Committee, advocate for his needs through the democratic process, and appreciate the significance of friendship, culture, and responsibility within a community. And along the way, he has also learned to read, perform arithmetic, estimate probability and statistics, and explore physics through hands-on construction. He loves drawing, music, and the logic of computer programming--all interests that have flourished in an environment where curiosity is nurtured. I am incredibly grateful for the existence of this school and the role it plays in my son's life--and in our family's life.

The mixed ages were a concern for us at first, but our experience has been that it creates a beautiful caring community that accommodates different ages and abilities. We love the staff (most have been there for over 5 years) and our kids are thriving!

    Both of my kids attend Heritage, and it has such an amazing family feel. After school, my kids play…read moreon the playground with the other kids each day while the parents hang out and watch them. We don't have much family here, so it's nice to have our little village. Reading a couple reviews on here truly shocked me because that's definitely not the school feel here. The principal and the former principal are both fabulous, and the teachers genuinely care about their students. My son would need an IEP in public school, but he has so much support and a smaller class size. When he was having a rough week, his teacher even sent me updates throughout each day to reassure me. She also gave him alternative activities when he was struggling to sit still. I love that he can have his kick band and fidget toys if he needs them, and he gets plenty of recess, which is so important. I should add that I am a teacher and am picky when it comes to curriculum. I'm thrilled with my childrens' progress here. Both of my kids have been attending since the Beginner Preschool class, and my son is about to go into 1st grade, while my daughter is heading to Pre-K. My son is definitely ahead with certain areas of academics, and when he needs more of a challenge or extra support, he can go to the Learning Success Center. Last but not least, although the accommodations and academics are great, I have seen my kids grow so much in their faith. They come home singing worship songs, reciting Scripture, and growing in their knowledge and love for the Lord. This is so important to my husband and me. Hopefully this helped. Due to a couple negative reviews, I should add that our principal changed last year, and although the former principal is fabulous, Mr. Saunders is doing an awesome job. God clearly wanted him in the principal role.

My son has grown immensely in his three years and my daughter has come out of her shell in her first two. I cannot thank the staff enough for investing in my children; they have gone above and beyond any expectations and have treated my family like their own. We wanted our children to know and love Jesus while getting a first class education: HCA does exactly that.

    This review is solely based on my current experience trying to get my son situated for kindergarten…read more(2018-19 school year). When my husband and I bought our house, a big draw was the school district. Flash forward five years and our son is ready to start. What a nightmare this experience has been. Not only is our local school overcrowded (Fernwood) but we are being sent to Frank Love for kindergarten. Between the front office staff in both schools being extremely uninformative and curt when I ask questions to the before and after school programs not being helpful (looking at you, Northshore YMCA) I have started calling around to private and/or Montessori schools in the neighborhood just to get out of this mess. (Don't get your hopes up, folks - they're all booked too). I've asked for a deference to a school that's closer so that I can keep my son is his current daycare for before and after care but have been told "you probably won't get it but it's your right to try" and that they couldn't tell me whether or not I'd qualify until the last week of August. This is not only inconvenient for my current daycare provider but for my son and my husband and I as well. On top of the before and after school care issues, we've been told that bus rides are now 50 minutes long. To go five miles. Are we serious?? The school district website is a mess - most schools aren't up to date (Frank Love hasn't had a new letter from the principal since 2016) and, quite frankly, this whole experience has made me want to put my kid into another district completely. There is no consistency, nobody is aligned and the overcrowding is flat out annoying. Get it together Northshore. You aren't instilling confidence in new parents to the district, you're making it very inconvenient for parents who have kids in two different elementary schools and your staff needs some serious training (both office and teaching). This trickles from the top down so maybe we need to start looking at our superintendent and assistant superintendent for resolve.
