True Success Summer Camp is a virtual learning camp with a curriculum that prepares students for the upcoming school year. Students engage in math, reading, writing and other fun activities. Teachers are well prepared to teach and engage with the kids. My granddaughter is constantly sharing with me all the things they are learning.

Last summer we started our two children at the Tutoring Club. Our oldest child's 6th grade teacher…read moresuggested he get some summer help to skip a year of math and enroll in Honors 7 at LMS. With the help of the Tutoring club he was able to work on his math skills last summer. He was not eligible to start in Honors 7 because his SOL scores were 2 points away from where he needed to be. He completed 1 semester in regular math where he was getting straight A's and was bored so his teacher promoted him to Honors 7. He ended the year with a B+. He was able to bring homework to the club when he needed an extra explanation of the materials which helped him tremendously. My other son was enrolled for Reading comprehension due to the drop in his SOL scores from 4th to 5th grade by 100 points. His 5th grade teacher was not the best and he didn't learned much in 5th grade from her. He started 6th grade with a 2 in Reading Comprehension in the first quarter, raised it to a 3 in the 2nd quarter and for the 3&4th quarters got a 4. The tutoring club has taught him many strategies in how to read with comprehension and answer questions by the process of elimination. This summer my children are working on their writing skills which is another area that most kids need additional instruction on since teachers can't individually help all students. We have been more than happy with the Tutoring Club and the help our children have received from all the wonderful tutors they have on staff.

I would give them zero rating if available. There don't really care for teaching the kids. Our son…read morewas attending this tutoring club for several months. No reading improvement after 77 hours spent there. It turned out that he needed different methods for learning and this club is not for that. After talking to them, they were supposed to send us written assessment of our son's progress and we never got it. The only respond we got was that our son was loosing concentration after 20 min each time and they did not communicate that to us at all!!! Obviously they don't care if they actually teach your kids anything or just taking money from you!!! Not to mention that we have troubles to refund our money as we prepaid at discounted rate.

I didn't know what to expect when I took my daughter to the first evaluation appointment. I knew…read moreshe was behind in math, but it is still hard to see just how far behind your child really is. The director, Jumanne was so kind and supportive and put us both at ease. While waiting for my daughter to finish with her test, Jumanne greeted every single child (or parent) that came and/or went by name and I was super-impressed. You can tell that they take a true interest in you and your children and create an environment that is warm, friendly and structured around your child's needs. The children I saw while there were very engaged and focused and dare I say even excited about math. I should have signed my daughter up much sooner, so if you think your child may need some extra math help, I highly recommend checking them out.

Mr Harold worked diligently with my son (virtually) on a weekly basis and this summer he passed his regents exam in Algebra. (As a NYC resident, regents exams are required to graduate) I'm truly thankful for the confidence they instilled in my son concerning Math, not to mention school as a whole. When you have a passion for education the results that AcadAMic K12 Solutions will provide will be your testimony! Thank You for helping or children!

Briya is an amazing organization. Its leadership, staff, students, and mission are inspiring. I…read morehave come to know the organization through a volunteer consulting engagement, and Briya has been a huge source of inspiration for me. It is so much more than a public charter school. It is a community, a safe haven, that encourages personal development and empowers its community to reach its full potential. Based on a culturally sensitive family literacy model, about 3/4 of students are immigrant mothers who have an opportunity to learn English/literacy, computer skills, and parenting skills. It is founded on a model that parents, especially mothers, are a child's most important teacher: reading together, learning about choice, planning for the future, advocating for student needs. By also providing exceptional care for infants and toddlers, mothers are motivated to join the learning program and can earn a CDA certification. Services are free to students. Briya has a charter through DC Public Charter Schools, but has actually existed for over 18 years and has been a national model for education. It is also co-located with Mary's Center that provides comprehensive health and human services. If you can volunteer in DC, volunteer here. If you can provide financial support, provide it here. If you know someone who may be eligible, tell them to apply.

My family has been with goddard for over 3 years and my sons (age 4 in June; age 2 in July) are…read moreabsolutely thriving at Goddard! Where do I start?! The activities the teachers do throughout the day, the organization and routine (which I have learned is super important for toddlers) professionalism of the staff, communication with parents, and even catered lunches... are just a few of the things that make the experience at Goddard Alexandria unparalleled. As a mom who always felt I would prefer to spend the day with my kids, I know that my children would be missing out on so much if they were not at Goddard... it gives them a great education, confidence, nurturing caregivers, fun activities, and social skills. The biggest thing of all is the staff. Ms. Zaida , Ms. Helen and Ms. Kassie in first steps are amazing. They are so detail oriented and organized - as a mom of two active boys 2 years apart, I'm constantly forgetting something, and when this happens, they are always on top of it (and they never make me feel bad.) My son LOVES going and happily goes into their arms, and is even attached to them! Sometimes he doesn't look back! All of the wonderful photos they send are so appreciated and also show how me what a great time he is having. They truly love the children as though they are their own. My son has learned so much and is always doing something new at home like ASL or learning animal sounds. They even get the 18 month old kids to get in a circle, read books, and sing a welcome song! All 3 teachers are so sweet, positive, and somehow never seem stressed or overwhelmed. It's an amazing environment. In the rare instances my adventurous son falls or bumps his head or gets sick, they immediately call to let me know. In addition to the report in the app, also give me a great rundown at pickup of his his day went. I would trust them with my life! My older son is loving Ms. Lindsey and Ms. Jennifer in Preschool 2! He has learned so much, his speech has improved, and he's always excited to go tell his teachers something funny in the morning. He is very sensitive and does not handle transitions well, and both teachers have helped us teach him coping skills and learn regulate. A few times this week he has even said "let's go back to school"! Ms. Lindsey also used to be a behavioral specialist, so having her working closely with him has been so nice. Both teachers treat my son like their own child. He also doesn't eat as much as he should, and they are always trying new ways of encouraging him to eat. I never have to worry about his safety or happiness, and they always communicate immediately if something seems off with him that day. At pickup, they give me such a detailed rundown and spend as much time with me as needed to chat about his day. A few months ago, I was worried about his transition into this older class, but Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Lindsey have been a blessing and he (and I) could not be happier. I also want to shout out Ms. Shantel and Ms. Becky, my older son's previous teachers. They are so loving and my son felt so nurtured under their care as well. They were instrumental in providing him with coping mechanisms, improving his speech, and giving him the love and attention he needs. They still say hi and talk to him regularly and you can tell they still care for their kids previously in their class! They put my son's anxiety at ease and always made him feel better if he was having a tough day. I still love seeing them!

As parents of a newly enrolled student this school year, we feel that our daughter is enrolled in…read morean exceptional school. She learned so much in PreK 1 with Mrs Gabby & Mrs Nina. It didn't take long for us to see her start to blossom & grow scholastically at Goddard. Mrs Gabby along with Mrs Nina have created an atmosphere full of enrichment. Her positive influence and guidance has become so infectious to our little one that she pretends she is Mrs Gabby at home and my husband and I are her students. And it shows in how Kendall pretends & plays Mrs Gabby so well. She really has such a genuine love for Mrs Gabby and her teaching. It shows in how she is truly inspired by her and loves attending class so much it's hard for her to leave school. And this warms our hearts to see. Our daughter already had basic prek knowledge of the complete alphabet, numbers and counting from 1-20 and could recognize alphanumerics visually. She also knew her shapes and colors at an early age of 2. Goddard has met and exceeded their promise to promote STEM and 2nd language arts and it shows. Our toddler now speaks Spanish with numbers, counting and knows colors as well. My daughter also came to love Ms. Nina. Mrs Nina is a welcome addition to The Goddard School in late 2023. She is such a treasure and a wonderful educator with decades of experience and knowledge. We'd like to give Special thanks to Mrs Traleece, Mrs Andrea & Mrs Sarah. These professionals are at the heart of what makes our school among the very best that Alexandria has to offer. As Directors and Executive Staff at The Goddard School they have shown such an eye for excellence & attentiveness to the needs of the children and parents. These are the hallmarks that makes them such an excellent academy. And to the many member's of The Goddard School educators and supporting staff, Mrs Michelle, Mrs Jennifer, Mrs Kiki, Mrs Lindsay, Mrs Maria, & Marley's Mom, and to so many we weren't able to name. We can't thank you enough for the passion & endless love you bring to The Goddard School every single day. The Graham Family
