Parent / Guardian May 24, 2022…read moreDO NOT SEND YOUR SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS HERE. This has to be the worst school for special needs. My son attended for 3 years. I regret not pulling him from the school immediately when he complained of an adult putting her hands on him. She would pull him by the arm when he refused to walk with her. I complained and requested that he never be alone with her. Additionally the CSS principal is either uncaring and incompetent. The school has had budget cuts and no longer had a full time psychologist for the CSS kids. Instead they've hired very poor IAs and a woman who worked in law enforcement. My son has the same teacher for two years and she absolutely did not care about the kids or her job. It was evident that she'd given up trying.

All of our son's past teachers have loved him because he is just a kind, big hearted kid. But no…read moreone has cared about our son the way Dr Kruzynski and Dr Frank have, and it is truly something money can't buy. There are seemingly endless options of schools in this area that you can send your child(ren) to, but very few, if any, will come close to caring about and investing in your kid(s) the way the teachers at Phoenix Nova do! Our son was a year behind after attending another private Christian school in Fairfax, but Dr K and Dr Frank got him up to speed and he passed the CAT for entry into the next grade. Their selflessness and investment in this school and its students is second to none!

They have a unique approach to connecting each child to the curriculum, maximizing their mastery and command of the information. I never thought my son would have so much success engaging with his schoolwork. They're also incredibly accommodating, facilitating, Speech, and occupational therapy during, before, and after the school day. Aftercare is a lifesaver for working families and there's nowhere my kid would rather be.

*****EDIT**** Nope…read more According to a few of the mothers who I still talk to and have their children attend there, it's honestly not as great... especially for POC . Ps- Audrey O is a faculty member so it's hard to take that review seriously. I appreciate her effort to improve the school's rating, however. *****EDIT***** Apparently the school got a total faculty makeover. Thank god. They caught on to the fact that there were some issues. So I moved my stars up slightly only because my children no longer attend there so I don't know what the environment is like there currently. I am still scarred from what I had to endure there for the few years my son did attend. However, I don't want to take away from the possibility that the school has improved. ************* It got to a point where I sent my child to a private school because I couldn't let my child go another year in this disaster of a school. Before, this school had raving reviews, but in the past few years- it has just been miserable. Many of the teachers here are pleasant but it's the administrative staff that I worry about. They do not seem engaged with their students nor truly care for their academic success. My child tended to have trouble in school and much of it had to do with his struggle with impulse. The teacher has been kind enough to "allow" an evaluation to take place but I have had so much push-back from the staff. I understand that it costs the school a great deal of money when doing an IEP, but it's for the benefit of the child! I just want to ensure that my child is getting the specialized instruction he needs in order to be confident in school. The year prior, he came home comfortable with the idea that he is just "not smart".That shouldn't ever be the case. My husband and I do our best to try and have him tutured at home, help him with reading, and occasionally see a specialist to assist with impulse control. Despite our efforts at home, my child still struggles at school. During my conference with the school however, I was informed by their assistant principle, Mrs. McNamee, that his issues were stemmed from the fact that he gets too much attention at home. What? Then they proceeded to still push back with getting my child any help until they FINALLY settled on having a 504 plan done. I want to give them the benefit of a doubt- but they have left me with the impression that that if your child has any type of disorder, language barrier, or disability- you're in for a world of grief here. Oh and heaven forbid you're a step parent. According to Mrs. McNamee, step parents dont have an opinion.

As a member of the PTA, I see teachers who go over and beyond for our kids. Parents, including me, are extremely engaged and volunteer countless hours. We are blessed that the administration allows our students the opportunity to participate in a wide range of after school activities that really enrich my kids. The staff and and administration genuinely live what they do and it truly shows. When your kids come home and all they can talk about is school you know you have them in a winning school! I swear that the principal must live there because she is there every single time I am in the school no matter what time of day! I really enjoy getting to talk to the parent liaison who always has time to listen when I need to talk! When my kids are challenged in such a warm, safe, and meaningful way they are on the path to becoming lifelong learners. This school is amazing and serves its widely diverse population well!

The passion of the staff and teachers shows that they love being there and want to watch children grow and experience all the fun things that pre-school can offer. The downstairs discovery area is a favorite spot that my children frequently talk about on the car ride home of their new creations or creative areas to make-believe play in. By the time all my children are done, I will have spent almost a decade at Knollwood and I couldn't imagine a more perfect and happy way to start my children's educational journey.
