My daughter is in 8th grade and has been attending "The Tutoring Center" in Powder Springs since…read moreshe was in the 6th grade. The staff are professional and polite. I love that she can make up missed days and make plans to come in on another day. The flexibility really helps when you are juggling more than one child or you simply just have other things to manage. My child just confirmed this week that she made A B Honor Roll on her report card! She has an 85% in Math. Prior to enrolling her in tutoring, she was maintaining a C average. Her Math teacher has made comments about her hard work and improvements. In addition, her MI score went up 100 points. My daughter really likes the staff at the Tutoring Center and the fact that she can earn snacks and prizes is a really nice treat for her. Keep up the good work!

I appreciate how accommodating they are. There are so many swim instructors/staff working. The staff are very warm and caring. There is a huge window/seating area to see the entire pool and my child feels reassured since he can easily see us. The facility is very clean and has many changing rooms, restrooms, hair dryers, etc. The front desk staff are very helpful and friendly. My almost 4 year old has been going to weekly classes for the past few months. He was very scared of the water before, but since starting the classes he is less fearful and seems to enjoy it now. Depending on the day and level, there could be anywhere from 1-4 kids in a class. Although, I wish they would cap the class to 3 kids so there is more time in the water, I still think he is learning a lot. We will see how long it takes him to make progress and will post an update.

Classes always start and end on time, and they have a waiting area for family to watch if you're not in the pool with your little one. The first class is free so you should try it!

While the instructors have been pleasant, our overall experience at Goldfish Swim School has been…read moredisappointing. The check-in process is consistently slow and disorganized, often creating unnecessary frustration before lessons even begin. Additionally, there appears to be little effort to address disruptive behavior in the waiting area. It is common for parents to have loud conversations on their phones or use speakerphone, which creates an unpleasant environment for families trying to watch their children's lessons. A simple reminder of common courtesy or enforcement of existing policies would go a long way toward improving the experience. Unfortunately, due to these ongoing issues, we will be looking for another swim school.

I am so impressed with this Goldfish Swim School!

They have little cabanas for the children to change into their swimming suits, along with a section with hair dryers. They also offer showers in the pool area supplied with Aveeno products. The kids can choose from a variety of candies when they finish their lesson, and if siblings have to stay while the others are swimming, they have color pages, crayons, a chalkboard, and chalk. Highly highly recommended!

We've had a wonderful experience with British Swim School in Alpharetta, and so much of that is…read morethanks to Tamara. She is incredibly passionate about the mission of water safety, and it truly shows in how she runs her business day to day. Tamara is very hands-on and puts customer satisfaction first. She goes above and beyond to ensure her coaches are well trained, supported, and aligned with providing the best possible experience for families. You can tell she genuinely cares -- not just about swim skills, but about creating a safe, positive, and confidence-building environment for kids. Communication has also been excellent. She's quick to respond, attentive to concerns, and always willing to help. It makes such a difference knowing the owner is this involved and invested. If you've been considering swim lessons, this is absolutely worth a try -- and now is the perfect time to enroll before summer rolls around. Highly recommend!

Wow, we are so grateful for the Atlanta Academy community, staff, admin and teachers. Our son is in…read more4th grade and we just wish we would have started him earlier here. We can't begin to say all of the AMAZING things that happen at this school! The school counselors are so receptive when our child has needed help and have stepped in. They do NOT tolerate any form of bullying at this school, as they shouldn't. It is addressed right away. First, Mrs. Naples is amazing and is very consistent in her care for ALL kids. She is empathetic, kind and caring and wants to make sure that each child thrives! This is hard to find in other schools. If a teacher is out, she will jump right in to help. Her presence is known around the school and that helps facilitate a caring atmosphere that people want to be in. If my child has been sick from school, he is sad because of all of the cool things he is missing out on. His teachers truly keep him engaged in their hands on learning environment. They take field trips to help educate on different cultures, events from history. The science teacher does hands on experiments that are really awesome for the kids to actually watch and engage in. The math teachers promote that hands on learning as much as possible, however math is hard at times as it is a concrete subject. Our reading teacher has been amazing and keeps the kids engaged with the way that she teaches and really connects with the students. The writing teacher is amazing. There are students, like mine, that did not like to write, and now he is coming home writing a lot of information that we never would have seen from his old school. He is encouraged to do his best and with that sense of self confidence that is encouraged, it helps him to grow in ways that he would not have. His Spanish teacher has made learning fun and interactive as well. They do in house field trips where they bring in people to help educate on wildlife which is beneficial and interesting. Recess times are given and kids are encouraged to take brain breaks and reset their brains for learning! The new lunch program has been such a hit. Our child that does not like some foods is coming home saying the cool things on the menu that he has tried! He has grown personally as well. He is responsible for going to his locker and being independent to get to his classes (while being supported of course with watching eyes of adults). The admin and support staff know all of the kids names. The physical education department is a popular one. They keep things interesting for the kids and change up the activities. The kids feel loved. That is the difference. They feel included and important and part of a community. Children of different backgrounds are accepted here and we are grateful for this as our family is not the same religion as everyone else. If a child is struggling, they are on it. Their bridge program is helpful to those kids that need it. They make accommodations for the students that need it as well. As parents, it is our level of involvement with a school, how much we put into it, that we then get back. If we teach kindness and put it out there from home, it will be given back. No school is absolutely perfect, however, any concern we have ever had, has been addressed immediately. The special area teams (music, art, STEM, etc.) are AMAZING! Our group of teachers have been very receptive and have answered questions within an appropriate amount of time. Of course they are not going to answer questions during the night as they are with their own families, just as other people that work don't do. Not only are we parents but we are volunteers that give back to the community. No matter if you are in a public school or another private school, you need to give back, even if it is volunteering an hour or two of your time. That is how communities are created, putting yourself out there to get to know the other families and those involved. We have gotten to experience a fundraiser and met so many amazing families, participated in fall festival and got to watch bands play and every child participated, even if it was from a tech perspective. They make sure everyone has a part. We are looking forward to the other activities, sports and the school play and after school activities that are offered! The way they care about the social emotional learning shows. Our son will come home on Wednesdays and has participated in the class that is designed for social emotional learning (everyone participates in this). They review things like ways to teach kindness, respect, bullying, self care, online bullying, etc. We are very grateful that the same values we teach at home are being instilled at school as well, as this does not happen in other school environments. With this being our second child, we have gone through other schools and have seen the other side. Again, thank you so much Atlanta Academy Staff! We are blessed to have you in our village of support for our child!
