We initially thought this was a great school, but over time, severe safety, cultural, and academic…read moreissues became apparent. Administration consistently prioritizes the school's reputation over student well-being. Severe Bullying & Dismissed Violence Bullying is very rampant, and administrators sweep physical fights under the rug. My child was punched in the face during a PE activity of tag for catching another student in the game, which leadership dismissed as an "accident." On multiple occasions, another student hit my child under direct teacher supervision; the teacher did not care, and leadership dismissed it as well. These are not isolated incidents but is instead a culture actively fostered. Physical Staff Outbursts Some teachers get physical with students. A school counselor violently yanked a desk, causing a student to fall. Another teacher pulled multiple students' arms. Despite video verification and multiple student reports, that teacher is still employed. Administration only offered to switch the reporting students' classes rather than taking disciplinary action even after receiving video verification through school security cameras. Academic Neglect & Discouragement There are many kindhearted and great teachers but we have experienced many that were in favor of the bare minimum. They assign excessive homework on content barely or even completely uncovered in class, straining parents. When my student advocated for tutoring in a challenging subject as they received in the past before, their teacher completely rejected them. After I stepped in to tutor my child at home, the teacher explicitly accused my child of cheating multiple times and destroyed their confidence in a subject they were trying hard to master. Unreported Missing Students During student dismissals, multiple students have gone missing. Administration hides these incidents. While waiting for my own child who was released late, I witnessed teachers frantically searching for two missing students (one a kindergartener) who had left school grounds. The school never communicated this to the parents, likely because the affected family did not speak English. Hypocritical Food Confiscation Under the guise of "healthy eating," staff completely confiscates students' lunches and snacks without warning, including whole-food snacks and PB&Js. Disturbingly, leadership admitted these snacks are given to the staff to eat because "the staff works so hard" when students questioned why staff can eat unhealthy things but the students can't. Confiscated lunches are never replaced, leaving children hungry, even though the cafeteria serves the exact same items. When students point this out, staff has told them that it's not PB&J sandwiches they're serving, but sunflower butter ones which is contrary to their school menu that states they serve both in their cafeteria. On another occasion, staff was selling chip bags and then confiscating the same chip bags later since they were unhealthy. This hypocritical policy meant to "demonstrate school health guidelines" is only selectively enforced based on opportunistic gain rather than from a place of genuine concern for student wellbeing. Inappropriate Political & Ideological Pressure Staff aggressively pushes personal political ideologies on young children. During a gender discussion, my 6th grader stated she was happy being a girl. The teacher targeted her in front of the class, stating, "Are you sure? That's kind of boring, you can be a boy too," repeatedly putting her on the spot. In another incident, a teacher asked students who their parents voted for, then declared to the class that all white ethnic people are racist and that they would never vote for a white politician. This school jeopardizes child safety for appearances, fosters unchecked bullying, permits physical outbursts from staff, and pressures children with political speech and peer pressure. Parents, please talk to your kids about what is really happening in school.

It is not a public school that has extensive services but teachers are willing to figure out the best solution for each child. We enjoy the liberal arts approach of Waldorf education implementing art, music, storytelling, singing and extensive expeditionary learning outdoors. Our children come home happy and content due to the active day they have had with several recesses, exploring the Harvard Gulch Creek, going on nature walks and being surrounded by caring teachers and staff. There are many ways for parents to become involved such as parent groups, Parent Council, volunteering in the classroom, becoming committee members and organizing the seasonal festivities held throughout the year.

Ambleside is awesome. I've been going since kindergarten and now I'm a freshman. I've made so many…read morefriends over all my years, most of which I'm still very close with. I always feel like I'm challenged in my eduction, especially now that I'm in high school. We just had our first graduating class of 2025 meaning yes, our high school is very new. I love the new building, but, to be honest, I really miss the old building in Littleton. This new building doesn't feel like home even though it is beautiful. To be fair this is my first full year at the new place so hopefully it'll feel more like home as we go. The teachers are always so encouraging (mostly) and if you're ever struggling they will help you. Even though I've made a lot of friends because of the small classes, I'm starting to wish there were bigger classes, mostly because I really want to meet new people, but that's just not something you get when you go to Ambleside. This makes the community way stronger though, everyone knows everyone and you have the seniors playing with 4th graders and yeah! If you're looking for a sports school, that is NOT Ambleside. But we do have some sports available like basketball, volleyball, cross country, track and biking. My favorite part of this year has definitely been the high school retreat. So many of my most amazing memories have come from this retreat. Both of the junior high retreats were kinda underwhelming but this retreat was absolutely incredible. There are no honors programs or anything like that which is a bummer but there are so many subjects that are unique to Ambleside. All in all, Ambleside is not a big school with everything at your disposal. But it is a place where you will have community, super awesome opportunities, and friends for life
