I am extremely disappointed in how my son was treated at this school. From the beginning, he was…read morerepeatedly blamed for hitting, as if he were the only 4-5-year-old engaging in behavior that is developmentally normal for children that age. My son was honest with me--he admitted when he hit, but he also told me that other children hit him as well. The school only seemed to care when he reacted, never when he was on the receiving end. Rather than working with us to support growth, accountability, and improvement, the school chose to focus solely on my son's weaknesses while ignoring his strengths and progress. Children are still learning emotional regulation at this age. What they need is guidance and fairness, not labeling. One of the most troubling moments was when another parent contacted the principal to say they did not want their child playing with my son and the school allowed this behavior instead of shutting it down. That sent a very clear message about whose comfort mattered. As a veteran who served this country honorably, it was extremely frustrating and painful to watch my child be treated unfairly in an environment that claims to uphold values of compassion and morality. My son is not perfect, but he improved significantly and yet it felt like decisions were being made out of spite rather than care. It is also impossible to ignore that my son is Black in a predominantly white school. The picture that was painted of him by staff was far more extreme than the child I know at home, and that raises serious concerns for me as a parent. I regret ever placing my son in this environment and have since apologized to him for believing this school would be a safe and nurturing space. I would not recommend this school to families looking for fairness, understanding, or true support for young children.

They celebrate her strengths, gently guide her through struggles, and encourage her to see learning as a lifelong pursuit. It's the kind of education I wish I had. We've felt so welcomed into the community of families who share our values and genuinely care for one another. As Catholics, we've felt fully at home, living our faith in step with the magisterium while also enriched by the perspectives of Protestant and Orthodox families here. Deo gratias! Thank you, TWS!

Mrs. DeFusco has a gift -- not simply a gift of teaching, but a gift of learning. When she meets with her students, she doesn't relegate herself to merely assigning exercises and delivering scores, she studies the behavior of her students. She looks for the patterns of engagement. She identifies enthusiasm and cooperation in whatever way the child manifests it, and when she discovers the key to their incentive it becomes the force behind her sessions. Mrs. DeFusco is not an impartial educator; her tenacity, patience, and warmth, combined with the investment she collects from the parent, are the foundation of raising a savant. I was a student of Mrs. Bette almost thirty years ago. She is, without a single doubt, the person responsible for giving me the tools to begin the path of learning. Because of her brilliant skill and my parents' devotion to my progress, I have gone on to graduate college in the field of my passion, graphic design. My words have been published by the Huffington Post and my art has been published in books on digital design. I am an award-winning trainer, tutoring thousands of people during my eight years working for Apple, and have led public speaking events. I am happily married to the love of my life and enjoy the professional enrichment of my work as an administrator for Princeton University. This is the mark of success: the feeling that I have made it to a place of contentment and prosperity, none of which would have been possible to achieve had it not been for the afternoons I spent with Mrs. Bette.
