The Princeton Waldorf campus is beautiful and magical. The family community that develops along with the children is long lasting.

As we head into our 5th year, I am confident to say that we made the right decision. Our main priority was that our kids would be able to speak Spanish confidently and build relationships with the Spanish speaking side of their family that lives abroad. Well, we got that and so much more! The teachers at HudsonWay are irreplaceable. Their Spanish teachers are all native speakers from different countries and they each bring a warmth and special touch unique to their cultures. Their English and Math teachers are top notch. Because of the smaller class sizes, the teachers are able to provide a much more individualized approach to teaching and provide each student with what they need. They are also always available and happy to connect with parents. My kids have really enjoyed the engaging activities, projects and presentations which increase in complexity and rigor each grade level. As a parent, I too have enjoyed them, as we are invited in to see presentations and projects multiple times throughout the year. The community is tight knit and the parent board is very active in providing additional activities and experiences for the students and families. HudsonWay is comprised of families from all different backgrounds and walks of life, but at the same time, there is a common thread that runs through the community which is valuing language and learning. This makes HudsonWay a unique and special place; we are a diverse group in so many ways with a common cause bringing us together. Although my kids are in the Spanish program, they have friends in the Mandarin program as well as they are together for English, Art, Music, Phys Ed and more. Thank you, HudsonWay, for giving my kids the gift of language. It is a gift to our entire family!

There are some kind teachers and families at St. Ann's classical academy, but overall we did not…read morefeel the experience justified the tuition. There is no playground, aftercare often felt more like detention than an enriching program, and over time we became concerned about significant gaps in the curriculum. The very small class sizes also became a concern for us in terms of opportunities for our children's socialization, growth, and development. Most disappointing was that the Catholic values we hoped would be reflected in compassion and empathy from church and school leadership were not always evident in our experience, particularly in the understanding shown toward our adopted children. very disappointing. For the cost, I strongly encourage families to carefully compare St. Ann's classical academy with other private and public-school options.

My husband and I were very concerned about the state of education in NJ. Not only were we opposed…read moreto many of the things that were recently placed in the state curriculum standards, we really desired our daughter to develop a love of learning. From our friends' experience and warnings, it seemed to be a major issue in both the public AND private schools and progressively worsening -- teaching for the tests, no matter what the cost to the child. When our daughter was in pre-k, I read about St. Ann Classical Academy in the newspaper. My husband and I went to visit, despite also being very critical of the Catholic schools as well (even as practicing Catholics), and we were very surprised at what we found: a school that expected us to be her primary educators and the plan to support us in her education. Classical education has been a joyful surprise. This school and its education have awoken such a love of learning in my daughter, I think my husband and I have also caught the bug. I drive 30 minutes each way for this school, and we plan on relocating in the future for it. I'm not sure how I could write a better review. Life-changing education. The kids don't even want to leave at the end of the day.

They always have their finger on the pulse of how my children are doing, take a vested interested in their well-being, and communicate clearly, thoroughly, and punctually.

My son will be well equipped for Kindergarten next year!

The only reason i'm keeping my son enrolled here is because of his lovely teacher Ms. Sangita. If…read moreshe ever leaves this school, I am definitely withdrawing my son from here. Lightbridge Academy policies are ridiculous and high priced for parents that are simply just looking for decent child-care. The payment due date is randomly on the 27th of each month & they will charge "$40 PER DAY the tuition is late". (Cited from Lightbridge academy handbook).This is insane. No where else does that. They are unwilling to work with you or make any exceptions. There is ALWAYS a disease/illness every week that your child is exposed to. They are always looking for a reason to keep your child out of school & still expect full tuition on time regardless if your child is out of school for a week. Not to mention the tuition price will increase every year for absolutely no good reason. Lightbridge teacher turnover rate is unbelievable. Every month expect to see a new teacher. The teachers are most likely overworked and underpaid for their hard-work they give daily to the children. Overall, I do not recommend Lightbridge academy because of Corporate greed.

We needed long hours since both my husband and I commute into NYC. We visited around 6 different daycares and preschools and this one had the longest hours from 6:30am-7pm and the brightest and cleanest facility stocked full of toys/books. Ms. Jaime the site director was extremely welcoming from the onset and took time to get to know each of my children from day one. All the teachers are very nice, warm, and engaged with the children. My children really enjoyed their time there. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to any of my friends or family.

I wrote this review specifically to go against Allan, Menan, and Celito. There are many topics to…read morecover including sexual abuse, toxic environment, kids cheating their way with money, faculty destroying student self worth, and it just being an overall terrible school. First I would like to cover sexual abuse. Going to Allan's example of sexual assault with Anthony du Bourg, he stated that Anthony was a teacher in the 60s and walked "through the locker room when we were undressed." In other words Mr. Anthony walked through the locker room in the 60s when Allan was changing. That means if Allan in 2017 would be pretty old. Not only this, but all of the other examples given by other reviews happened every 20 years and have no solid evidence. These reviews also state that there are better schools in the area, Newark Academy, Delbarton, Kent Place, and so much more have terrible incidents that are far worse than Pingry's. These claims have a high chance of not being true and there is no school in the world that has no creepos lingering. Considering that there are only 3 alleged assaulters for a school history of almost 200 years is really amazing. Now I would like to talk about the supposed toxic environment. Anywhere you go in life there will always be toxic people. I believe that Menan is just a parent who had a kid hang around the wrong crowd. The Pingry School also has amazing staff and faculty that can support anyone at anytime. Compared to other private schools and public schools Pingry is nowhere near as toxic. According to Allan people were racist and really toxic, the 1960s was a really long time ago and the world was really different. I understand that numerous students agree with me and love their school. For kids cheating their way with money, this is completely untrue. I have been at Pingry for a very long time and I can't tell you how many kids have been expelled for vaping, doing drugs, sexual assault, racism, and more vile actions. Pingry is extremely strict with this and the honor code is not used as a weapon, but more as a guideline. There are kids that got expelled immediately with billionaires for parents and have not been on school grounds since. Faculty destroying student self worth is the topic I disagree with the most. There are so many trusted adults in the school and for the reviews saying that they suck probably got failed and just trying to throw dirt. The teachers are very uplifting and help the students non-stop. Teachers also might favor students, but thats alright because whatever school you go to that might happen and it is not all the teachers at Pingry that do that. Pingry is an amazing school and If it was so terrible then why is it the third best school in NJ on Niche? I am not sure what these clowns are thinking putting these reviews, but is a Saturday night and this took like 20 minutes. Guaranteed all of these clowns are either Pingry rejects or got expelled. I also believe at least one of these reviews are a middle schooler thinking that they are funny, but in reality they just have nothing better to do. PS. Nobody hacking into your account and your other reviews don't really make your image look better
