My family is very happy at the O'Neal School! We have a 2nd, 4th, and 6th grader and have found so…read moremuch to love for each one of them! Firstly the campus is beautiful, with so many trees, wonderful playgrounds and outdoor spaces, not just for elementary students but middle and upper school as well. There is ample time built into all of my children's' day to get outdoors and run around. We have been very impressed with all of the co-curriculars: Outdoor Science is a stand out, and so unique to the school; the art program for all of my kids has been phenomenal and well-designed; all of my kids LOVE their language programs, and PE and music have been wonderful as well! As an educator, I love that there is space for multiple co-curriculars per day. My son's middle school experience has exceeded expectations with multiple ways for him to get involved: after school sports, Battle of the Books, and even off-season strength & conditioning. He also really enjoyed the class trip at the beginning of the year! There is so much to be involved in, the only difficulty is narrowing it down! I have found the teachers, across the board, to be stand outs. They are excellent communicators, passionate about their subjects, and wonderfully engaging in a way that goes beyond the dreaded worksheets. I love how different disciplines work together to make the subjects come alive across multiple subject areas. I love the project-based learning I see with all of my kiddos. Additionally, I have been impressed with the school's engagement with families, and feeling welcomed in a new community. Admissions was wonderful to work with, and went above and beyond for our family to help get us situated. We are very pleased with our experience at The O'Neal School!

We can't say enough about our time at Thales Academy Holly Springs…read more When we moved to NC from Northern California the number one thing we were worried about was education. We toured a lot of schools and did a lot of research and it was clear to us that the public school system (at the time) just wasn't going to work with where our son was coming from academically. We thankfully heard about Thales from a counselor we happened to meet in passing and he said it would be absolutely incredible for our son. Turns out he was right. Our son is incredibly bright and very mature for his age. What we love about Thales is that he can do curriculum and courses in upper grades though he isn't technically in that grade. Example: he is in 2nd grade however he does most of his classes in 3rd grade. It was the same when he was in 1st he did most of his classes in 2nd. This keeps him challenged and from being bored in class when he would otherwise feel like he was way ahead of everyone else sitting around waiting for them to catch up. Additionally I've heard from many friends whose kids attend that if your child needs more attention and care in a certain subject, that support is just as strong as it is for kids who need to be placed ahead. What I love about that is my son isn't just being moved up to a higher grade, instead he is being kept with kids his own age in a few classes which allows him to continue to grow emotionally. Just because my son can do 3rd grade curriculum doesn't mean he is READY for 3rd grade emotionally and I love that they believe in that. I am the first to admit that the classical learning style is NOT for everyone. My son THRIVES on structure and having expectations presented in a direct way. Not all children like this or need this kind of learning structure - but that doesn't mean it's because this is a strict and mean school. The curriculum moves quickly, stays challenging and is presented in a very real life way. My son isn't being taught how to be a perfectionist, he is being taught how to thrive in a fast paced world molded by ethics and morals. That I can absolutely appreciate in this I want and need things right now pace of life we are all living in. My daughter will now be attending Thales this upcoming school year and it's been fun watching her thrive the same way her brother does in education and we are happy to have them both attending the same school - for our own sanity too :) Are there issues at this school with staff, I'm sure. It's a school with lots of staff there are bound to be issues of some kind right? Does the principle run a tight ship? I'm sure she does with the kind of curriculum they are pushing out you would have to. Are there issues/opinion/thoughts/assumptions with parents or kids or both, oh I'm sure there is a lot of that too. Do I know about any of it? Not really which makes me very happy. I think private schools get a very bad rap for being a certain way. We all know the way and Thales Academy couldn't be more opposite in my opinion. My husband has a very public and high profile job and the safety, security and humbleness to just be us and let us be parents of two kids that attend the school is absolutely amazing and refreshing.

I did not go on my gut bc they were so professional, they could have wrote that bus off on their taxes, but instead they stole my whole savings, every dime. The guy that sold it to me had gold rings looking like a 100 dollar pimp. The money was for those young girls I was talking about at the beginning. The dash had been replaced with a newer one, but I got the computer to show me the real odometer reading, it was over 300, 000 miles, but the dash was showing 111,000 miles.
