This review would be 20 pages if I wrote about each grade, so to be concise... It is a great place to send you children to school. They are surrounded by students who are constantly excel in all they do as well as teachers who can instill both confidence and educational material. My son said it best when he had to prepare for college exams and told me that he was amazed how none of the kids in his study groups were never properly taught how to prepare for exams, except him. Looking for a place to live and bring up your children??? Come to the EWUFSD, both you and your kids will be better for it.

Overall a good school, but I felt it was overpriced for what it was. I had a few issues with the…read moreschool, which I'll relate here. First, what did I like? The classrooms were well stocked, seemed very safe, the administration staff was lovely. The building is beautiful. Kids are terrific. I liked most (all?) of the teachers except, sadly, for my daughter's teacher. I don't want to "out" anybody so I won't mention her name, but she was much too stoic for a preschool teacher. Rarely smiled. Never seemed happy. Her natural resting face was sort of a half-scowl that makes her look unhappy. She wasn't a warm person, and it made me sad to think that my daughter's first teacher wasn't a warm, loving, smiley person. Stoic. There WERE teachers that were warm, loving, and smiley. Just not my daughter's teacher. The assistant teacher was very nice, but quiet and not very engaging. The curriculum didn't seem all that challenging to me. I realize it's a preschool, but come on! The students are presumably from good families with parents who take an active role in their child's learning. That's one of the reasons why the kids are not in public school. The curriculum of preschool could've been more challenging. I didn't think the Spanish education was particularly strong. After a full year at Maryel my daughter couldn't express "I have", "I want", "I am", "I feel". I've been teaching my daughter Hebrew, just 30 minutes a day and she mastered these things in Hebrew. It seems odd that she didn't master these basic components of communication in Spanish after a full year. In fact, I'm completely at a loss how that's even possible. Lack of transparency on the website. I tried to look at my daughter's teacher's credentials: her degrees, where she obtained her degree, academic achievements and specialties, etc. Even a short biography. This is pretty commonplace for private schools, but I didn't see that information on their website. To me this possibly indicates a high turnover rate in teachers, which indicates a low teacher salary, which indicates less-than-optimal education. Considering that one year of my daughter's preschool cost more than one year of my PhD, I expect high quality. Someone at the school smokes; I can smell it in the halls. The kids have to climb considerable stairs to get to their classrooms. The daily reports were appreciated; I wish they didn't have so many spelling and grammar mistakes. I'm not a grammar Nazi, but when it comes to academics, I kind of expect... I don't know... a better quality of writing. One last thing on my mind. The kids would have music activities, and the choice of songs was simply dreadful. There are so many wonderful, melodic, kid friendly songs yet the teacher picked awful songs for a pre-K. Songs with weak or even ugly melodies. Songs with poorly chosen Spanish for 3/4 year old Spanish learners. I would watch videos of the songs the class would sing and just be floored at how poorly chosen the songs were. I don't want to seem like I hated our year there. It's a decent school, really. That's why I gave it 3 stars, which indicates "A-OK". It's just that for the money, I was expecting something much, much different. I was expecting much higher standards.
