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 nothing like I've ever been to and it is an amazing experience. 10/10

When I started my internship at Humanex Academy, it started out as just an internship that was…read morerequired to earn my master's degree in clinical psychology. However, after being here for just a few days, I quickly realized that I just joined a community that would shape my career forever. From the postcards that teachers are able to write students just to give them a little boost for the day to the amazing art projects that students are supported in making, Humanex knows how to impact every student that attends. As the clinical intern, I check in with students who are needing a little extra support as well as work with students who need help navigating relationships with peers and teachers. Adolescence is arguably the most critical period in a person's life. During this time, adolescents are learning skills that are necessary for higher education or work, psychological autonomy, forming close friendships, and developing a sense of self identity. This time can be a really exciting and challenging time because they are experiencing physical, cognitive, and social changes. Between Mrs. Cahill, the principal, and Dr. Tom Welch, the clinical psychologist, Humanex is very accommodating to those changes and challenges that are presented during this time. They understand that the stimulation and stress that is presented at public schools are not a good match for everyone, and they put a great deal of effort into making Humanex stand out compared to its larger counterparts. During my experience at Humanex Academy, I have learned about the importance of confidence. Confidence is often formed and solidified during adolescence. I am happy that I have been able to aid in the development of confidence for many different students as well as been able to learn about how a compassion and caring can go a long way when working with adolescents.

This school has not provided me any proof that they actually helped my son. They lied to me and…read morestarted my son off at a pre k level and in 8 weeks managed to work to a 2nd grade level. I asked them about the material each 2 weeks and asked what grade level it was applied to. They stated it was not applied to a grade level. However at the end of 8 weeks, $30,000 later I paid them, the director Liz tested him and told me he improved " TWO GRADE LEVELS". Having done testing on him prior to starting this program, that would have meant he went up to 7th grade and I was happy. Only until my education lawyer discovered they meant 2nd grade, and told me they did nothing for my son, to obtain a lawyer and proceed for fraud against the school. This school will ignore your questions, or issues. They will not reply to you after they think they have made their justification. They will not offer you a refund after you have proven their program didn't work. They will try to talk you into more testing done by them, and doing their academy which is $80,000 a year. This has been the most hurtful experience I have ever had with a company that claimed they could help my son, and did nothing but lie.

This cookie cutter approach to teaching individuals has strong advertising and internet presence…read more It is not suitable for younger children. It is held in an office setting with very little room for movement and play. Testing is done in-house with a strong arm approach to enrollment. The stress students experience will influence their wish to continue to read or study in the future. Parents kept in the dark except for well rehearsed sessions that are designed for buy in and future payment. Get the books and do it yourself; this isn't rocket science! Those who "train" your child using much the same approach as dog training, often don't even have a degree in teaching.

It does not have a leader, there is no leadership, so do not expect them to comply with what they offer you, the offers are invalidated and if your child has a 504 plan, this school will not apply it, it will not evaluate it and it will not follow up, they do not have staff for this. If it occurs to you to claim, they will treat you like crazy or it will be the fault of the Covid and the staff (directive) bounces me around like a ball. They shamelessly disrespect you as a father. The mental health of students is not the priority of this school. And, immigrants, be careful here is white privilege, discrimination and exclusion.
