As my child finishes his last year at Shenker, I thought it was only appropriate to leave a review…read more Moving to Vegas has been challenging in so many areas. Whether it has to do with education or healthcare (both of which were significantly better in Orange County). I enrolled my child at Shenker after talking to all the parents I would meet at the park in my neighborhood who would sing the school's praises. I am happy to say, Shenker lived up to my expectations. My child does not speak English as his primary language, and I was worried about how that would affect him. Also if I might add, I would get unsolicited comments from other educators concerning my refusal to speak English to my child at home. I am an educator ( I have a Masters in education and another Masters in school counseling) and I knew he would pick up English just as I did. Upon meeting with Dr. Sharon, he agreed with my approach concerning my son learning two languages, and put me at ease. My son has greatly improved academically and socially at Shenker. He is so happy to go to school, and everyone in the front office knows his name, as they do with ALL the students that attend their school. Dr. Sharon has truly been a joy to work with, and I see how much he cares for his staff and for his students at school. He knows every student's name and he works with every family to accommodate their needs. I honestly believe this school's success comes from the top down. I want to thank Shenker and Dr. Sharon for giving me peace of mind in the most important aspect of my life; my child's safety and education. Yours truly, Samvel's mom.

My son has attended Merryhill School since Preschool. Here we are years later, he's in 6th Grade,…read moreand we've never changed schools. What initially attracted us to Merryhill was the curriculum. We moved to Las Vegas from Germany, where our son had completed a year of German kindergarten. They start earlier there and when we moved here, he was only old enough for preschool. Thinking we'd have a year to sort out where he would go for American kindergarten, he short-circuited our plans when he asked, "when do I get to go back to school?" After an extensive search of options, we settled on Merryhill. For those who are interested, Merryhill is a part of the Nobel Learning Communities. Here's what we've liked over the past seven years: As mentioned, the curriculum. What he was learned in preschool here was almost identical to what he learned in Germany, only in English. We were pleased it was more than just a glorified day care and that he could repeat what he had learned with English as the primary teaching language. It was an actual curriculum with distinct subjects taught in a manner that the students were very prepared to move toward grade school. Comparing notes with friends, his kindergarten year looked like most 1st grade curriculums. As he progressed through elementary school, the curriculum always remained challenging and enjoyable for him. Small class sizes. The student to teacher ratio is wonderful. There aren't too many kids in any classroom. Rather than just adding more kids to a class if enrollment is high, the school adds another teacher and class. The teachers do a great job providing for the common education of the class at large, but also have the ability to tailor instruction in the classroom (and even more so, the homework) to individual needs. Kids who need a little more help get it. Others who are excelling receive work that will push them forward without negatively impacting the other students. And it's all done without highlighting the additional help a child needs, or the accelerated curriculum another is working on. The kids just see the other kids as other students and friends in the classroom. The faculty knows all the students. Being a small school with a reasonably stable set of teachers over the years, all the teachers end up knowing the students. This has been wonderful in that there's great continuity as a child progresses from grade to grade. It also prevents the little rascals from trying to hide their past (good or bad) when they enter the next grade. The flip side of this is all the students know all the teachers, making the environment much friendlier and safer. The kids feel free to approach any teacher with a problem or concern, or to share an accomplishment. Students work with students. Related to the familiarity between all the students and teachers, at select times of the year, the students from higher grades spend time with students from the lower grades. What our son enjoyed most about this as he moved into the higher grades was having the chance to read with and to younger students. It improved his self confidence, his reading skills, and he made new friends in a way that just wasn't on the playground. Growth! Starting this current academic year (2018-2019), the campus on Snow Trail began adding a middle school. Next year the plan is to add a 7th Grade, and the following year an 8th Grade to complete the middle school. There are so many more positive things I could say. If I had to do it again with another student at the start of their school journey, I would go right back to Merryhill without hesitation. If you're looking for a good elementary or (emerging) middle school, definitely consider looking at this school.

In terms of academics, we are overjoyed with how much hands on learning he is doing in his own classroom and the specialty classes. Most days he comes home with marker, paint, and glue on his uniform -- a sure sign of a great day. The curriculum challenges and interests him and he's encouraged to use his imagination. The ratio of teachers to students is wonderful. When he needs help a teacher is available to guide him. But what really makes this school special is the people. From the moment you walk in you are met with smiling faces, a friendly greeting, the feeling you and your kid belongs. You can see that the teachers and the administrators are happy to be there and that feeling extends to the kids. To see my son skipping in and out of school is magical. The school becomes part of your child's and your community. There are lots of special days and activities to get the kids excited to be a part of something. If you are seeking a great education, a place your child will feel safe, and most importantly a place your child will be happy give this school a look.

The school only went to kinder so I had to tour schools to find the one that worked with her personality. I toured at least 10 elementary schools, some religious, some other Merryhill Schools and some public schools. Public school classes are so large and I knew it wasn't for us. Curriculum is huge to me and Merryhill is pretty unbeatable in the area. I toured a Merryhill closer to me but didn't get "that feeling". When I toured Durango fireworks went off! I know that sounds strange but the feels are unbelievable in this school! I was a stranger but every staff member welcomed my family and especially my daughter. Principals are a huge part of a school community and I've been blessed with the best at Merryhill! This location is ran by Kim Roden and she will move mountains for our kids.

Principal Gerry Born is the best principal ever! Very attentive and very engaging with both teachers, students and parents. The teachers are spectacular! They really care about educating the children. They make sure they make it a fun environment, so the children feel at ease. Making it easier for them to learn new information. This school seems very advanced and up to date with their teachings and their technology. Since attending this school, I've noticed my child is a bit more advanced on the academic side compared to her other peers that go to regular in person public schools. Nothing against public schools, this school just works out for us as a family. This school uses real life scenarios in their quarterly projects. For example, they need to research about their dream vacation and how much it cost in real time and create a budget, etc. Surprisingly, as parents, after realizing her dream vacation was definitely more doable budget wise, we were able to actually take her on that dream vacation in less than a year's time. It not only teaches the students, but every assignment and project teaches us as parents as well. We highly recommend this charter school.
