It's been a relief to see his reading improve in ways we really couldn't have addressed through at home reading. I wish we'd signed him up sooner!

We've trusted Mindfish with all three of our kids for ACT prep, and every one of them significantly…read moreimproved their scores after working with their team. Our youngest daughter recently worked with Casey, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. We debated whether she should even take the ACT because standardized testing has never been her strength. Casey gave her the confidence, strategies, and support she needed, and she ended up earning a score that exceeded all of our expectations. That score will also open up additional merit scholarship opportunities for college. Based on our experience with all three of our children, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mindfish to any family looking for ACT preparation. The investment has absolutely been worth it for our family.

When our son (junior at Boulder High) was struggling with Calculus, Ben Tweedlie at Mindfish was amazingly helpful. We have a daughter who is a sophomore at CU Boulder in Chemical Engineering who we realized could also use a tutor for Calculus. My 16 year old found out she was going to see Ben also and said "oh you'll really like him. He's great. He's funny and very helpful at explaining things." Folks, if that doesn't say it all I don't know what does. I tried to act cool, but as a parent, its nice to hear your teenager really likes their tutors. We are very happy to have found Mindfish.

This was very uncharacteristic of her. One Monday, at pick up my daughter was the only child left and I found her in a corner by herself crying. I was unable to settle her or get her to stop crying until after we got home that night. The teacher told me that my daughter was isolated like that after the other children had been picked up to work on 'regulating her emotions' (at just over a year old?). On Wednesday that week, when I picked her up, she was hysterical (again, this is very unlike her at home or in previous daycare). There was another child still in the class and a second teacher present this time. When I went to lift her up, the teacher told me that my daughter's hair was wet because "she needed to be spritzed a couple of times to help her regulate her emotions when she would not stop crying." I then noticed that her hair was soaked. I looked at the teacher in shock and she pointed at the wall where several spray bottles were hanging up and she stated that "some kids actually like being sprayed." I left immediately to gather myself and calm my child. I then emailed the director and requested an immediate meeting. We requested that a letter be sent to families of other children that could have also been treated this way by their teacher. Since a letter has yet to come out, and may never, I feel responsible to share our story with others. This is especially important since children in these classrooms aren't yet able to communicate these things with us. Ultimately, we lost trust in the school. Felt like there is a big miss here in terms of teacher education and general oversight in the classrooms. We pulled our daughter out. She has since joined a new daycare and is thriving. I am hopeful that the state licensing agency can help the school to reach the standard of other Goddard schools that we have previously known and loved.

He's now learning Spanish at an AP level where he once floundered in incomplete assignments. He's interested in and informed about world events-- social studies hadn't even sparked an interest in the past. In areas where he still struggles, he has teachers who understand how he learns and help him along while still holding him to him to high standards. He's actually learning, not just showing up and turning in busywork. Earlier struggles at school extended to his social and emotional life. It was hard to see him struggle when knew him to be bright, funny, insightful, and kind. September School has drawn that out. He's part of a supportive community, has good friends, and is valued for being himself.

He went from thinking school is meaningless and not worth the effort to enjoying many of his classes and coming home happy. The small class size, the personal attention, the caring and supportive community have all transformed his attitude toward school and learning. At September School, he isn't expected to expected to think and perform like everyone else. Teachers support him while also still holding him accountable. We also love the policy of not giving homework, which means assignments get completed in class and school stays at school. September School certainly isn't right for every kid, but for those that need a non-traditional learning environment, it's amazing.
