As of this morning, I'm pulling my 6th Grader from Imagine School at Town Center!…read more The folks at the school are incredibly nice, and very helpful when you walk in requiring assistance of one kind or another. You're always greeted with a smile and assured everything will be taken care of. The problem? They don't follow through! My youngest son has always been an A student. Not to suggest he's perfect. He isn't. His A's have been hard won, and it's required a balance of teaching, parenting and great communication, which we've always had with his teachers. When he would start to slack off or not hand in homework, I made sure teachers knew that I was there, ready to respond. We recently received an email from his Math Teacher saying he was missing 9 assignments. (FIRST QUESTION: Why did it take getting to 9 before anyone contacted me?) I immediately contact the teacher by email requesting a list of the missing assignments and a meeting. To date, I haven't heard back. A little back story: My son started the year at a different school and was on the waiting list at Imagine. I guess they expected him to know their rules even though he wasn't there for orientation. As it turns out, the math teacher sends home a list of the weeks assignments every Monday for parents to sign, which was the reason we were supposed to know our boy was missing homework. The problem is that we didn't know she did this, and had NEVER sign one. You'd think that would be enough of a reason to email us and let us know something was wrong. My wife and I called to talk with the school about the situation and finally got a response from Kristy, the school's Assistant Principal. She explained that Imagine has a 24 hour contact policy, and that we should have received a call or email within 24 hours. Very sorry about the entire mess, she promised to look into the issue, have a meeting with everyone in the department and get back to us with the specifics of on my son's issue(s). That was well over a week ago and I haven't heard back from her either. My son recently came home with his progress reports, which contained several C's, two F's and a D. We signed and returned the progress reports with a request for a meeting with the teachers in each class. We still haven't heard from a single one. If you're looking for a great school that will educate your kids and communicate with you, this place isn't it. "Charter School" may sound nice, but going from an A student to a D student in just a few months and being ignored through it all... Enough is enough. We have many friends that teach in the Flagler County School system and when we told them we were moving our son to Imagine, every single one of them told us to be very careful. Some even described this exact situation. I should have listened. I didn't, and now my son is paying for it. I'm moving him back to Bunnell Elementary this morning. ----------------------------------- UPDATE: After enrolling my son at his new school, I returned to Imagine to let them know and make sure my son didn't owe them anything. I ended up meeting with Kristi Kendall and having a good talk. While there were attempts made to contact us, she agrees that we should have been called and that there is definitely a problem, even if only this time. There's a lot to this issue, and my review of one start still stands, but I couldn't walk away without doing everything I could to make them fully aware of the situation. No child or parent should have experiences like this. Particularly when they're so involved. I wish them luck and hope they fix this, and quick!

First I have to say that I have been so impressed with the middle school program. The teachers are highly intelligent, thoughtful people, who genuinely love their jobs. AND my son loves school. (He disliked his previous school in Wisconsin) Though we're just starting out with kindergarten with the twins, I have been equally impressed with their teachers. They seem knowledgeable and sensitive to our kids needs. I've had good experiences with the administrative staff as well. When we needed to rearrange our pick up schedule, the principle and vice principle were extremely cooperative. We moved to the area in part because we had read good reviews about Imagine...I can't believe how lucky we were...honestly it's better than what we expected.

My kids are excelling academically and emotionally, all thanks to the attention paid to their personal growth and development. Park Maitland feels like a warm hug coupled with academic rigor. Children are allowed to become true individuals, exploring their passions while supported by the loving faculty and staff. I remember feeling the same way - I reaped the benefits of an exceptional education while feeling safe to try new things and be myself 30 + years ago! It's been a joy watching my kids blossom and soar. The campus is adorable and they have special traditions for each grade that they look forward to each year, including a yearly theatrical production. As an aside, they have kept our children safe during the pandemic, with zero quarantines required due to their strict mask policy. I highly recommend Park Maitland and urge any interested families to schedule an interview!

You won't just find a school here - you'll find a cohesive community of teachers, students, and parents that truly partner together to provide a nurturing yet rigorous educational experience. The low student to teacher ratio allows teachers to truly get to know each student and their individual strengths and needs so they can best support them where they're at. They don't only focus on teaching students academics but also support growth in necessary life skills such as time management, prioritization, social emotional skills, responsibility, and flexibility. They also have a wide array of classes outside of standard academics such as ballroom dancing, drama, Spanish, PE, and art so students have a well rounded experience. I couldn't be happier to have my daughter at MSEO and can't recommend this school enough!

We enrolled our daughter for her first year of preschool at Montessori School of East Orlando and…read morewe saw an immediate change in her ability to write her name and her interest in wanting to write more within the first month. The school brought a love and desire for learning to our child. Our daughter was very shy and struggled to communicate with anyone she didn't associate with on a constant basis and she would cry and hide if she was made the center of attention. The school's natural environment is encouraging children to come out of their shells. It's been an amazing transformation to watch her grow in confidence and learn to love doing something even if people are watching. At our daughter's first parent/teacher meeting the director/primary teacher said "She may never want to get up in front of a group and talk or perform but we will give her tools to use to be able to do it." We watched our daughter dread getting up in front of other to now excited to show off what she enjoys. It's been a beautiful transformation. I've never seen an environment where so many children of all ages love one another so much. The older kids look out for the younger ones and set an example that is exemplary. I feel so at ease that my child is getting good influences from her peers. Her classmates are encouraging to one another and rally to help a classmate in need and cheer them on The teachers and staff truly care about what's best for your child to make sure they are getting what they need and are progressing in their curriculum. They put emphasis on the process of a task over just completing it, so our daughter feels pride doing the steps that lead to the completion of the task just as much as feeling the joy of finishing something. I love that our daughter will have the same teachers for multiple years, I feel this will be invaluable to her growth because they know her and know what her capabilities are. I also love that she gets plenty of one on one time with the teachers as well. Everyone is great at communication if you reach out to them or need something, which is amazing because there is a clear and open dialog for whatever your questions or needs may be. Overall we think its a wonderful school and as a parent you can be as involved as you want to be with the many special events the parent's put on for the children. The existing parents are very welcoming to the new parents.
