They Hired a new head trainer for as of April 3, however she will be traveling to shows and working another farm at the same time. They are looking for other trainers but that will take time and there are no guarantees. We decided to pass on Ethel Walker for stabling until the dust settles on this ambitious plan the head of school is undertaking.

But we visited today for a special open house to check out the school's $39 million dollar expansion that took five years of planning and two years of construction. The tour included ten stations (library/media center, gymnasium, cafeteria, music room, art room, renovated classrooms, etc.). Each station had one or two tour guides that were Latimer Lane Elementary School students, and the kids did a fantastic job telling us about the new school and classroom features at their station. There was a lot of hi tech on display -a video production studio, 3D printers, interactive electronic games on the floor, and other cool stuff. I was very impressed by the art room and music room which were overflowing with things for the children to use and experiment with. I was also impressed at the two new playgrounds, climbing wall in the gym, and the many outdoor classroom spaces to take learning outside on good weather days. I love how these young students will be introduced to video production, coding, and 3D printing this early in their lives.

TMA is a very special and unique school. The infrastructure (planetarium, radio station, space observation stations, science labs,...) is not common in K-9 schools. The hands on experience programs are a treat for our daughter. We are amazed by how the programs and faculty members challenge her and support her learning needs. She loves the school, get excited every morning, and literally has cried on the school last day - as she explained that summer will be boring without her friends and teachers. The academic (and also music/arts) progress in a few months is impressive.

They are constantly integrating the ideas given by me, her school, and her doctors in giving her the best sessions possible. They are positive with all of their students! It is wonderful to go and hear staff and students alike laughing and learning a subject so many struggle in! I, myself, am a special education teacher so believe me when I say I highly recommend Mathnasium of Avon! I would not subject my own children to a place I didn't think would be able to help.
