This keeps them from having to send in the am to a daycare, have him transported to school, picked up by the daycare at school and transported back.

I also like the top stop of the classroom sizes.

I recommend Heroes Academy to anyone I meet! Why? Because Heroes Academy provides the type of…read moreenvironment and child-lead learning that I wanted for my kids, yet I didn't know it existed until a few years ago when our full-time traveling family decided to take some time off the road. Now we are settled into Idaho and at Heroes and I don't think our kids will let us ever leave (not that I want to). As an Acton Academy, Heroes encourages every child to think and behave like a hero, not a victim, while embarking on a self-growth journey. They encourage every family and child to be proactive, begin with the end in mind, to hold themselves and others accountable and to high standards. It's a place where children discover their own passions, gifts and begin to lead meaningful and purposeful lives. I have seen incredible growth in all 4 of our children over the last 2 years while attending Heroes Academy. They have developed real life skills such as how to have a meaningful conversation with an adult; how to fail and get back up again; how to speak in front of a large crowd; how to begin finding a passion or start a small business, all without our help. If you're worried that your child isn't actually learning much by completing so many assignments, doing homework each day, taking tests and getting 'good' grades in the assembly line of a traditional public education system, then Heroes Academy might be great for your family. I couldn't be happier with Heroes Academy and all that they have done for our entire family. You see, being a family at Heroes has encouraged my husband and I to continue on our own self-growth journey and to push ourselves each day, while our kids grow right alongside of us.

This school made me discover my passions and really let me focus on what I am interested in. Coming to this school gives you the opportunities no other school would. you get to learn new things every session and it has challenges that teach you to learn, not to remember. i highly recommend this school especially if your child has adhd, add, autism, or anxiety because this place is very welcoming and helped me so much mentally.

First and foremost, the teachers and staff do a wonderful job supporting and teaching the kids. The environment is positive and respectful. Both daughters learned to read at three years old. Even more impressive is the culture where kids learn respect, accountability and self reliance. The teachers have cultivated a love of learning and my daughters know they can do hard things. I highly recommend the curriculum as it incorporates song, art and play into academics..

Mixed bag here...for being in Boise this school is incredibly "woke." First day in 6th grade they…read moreasked my child their "personal pronouns." In 7th grade art class the assignment was to write a report on a contemporary artist. My child was told their pick was "too white male." My child was subsequently instructed to choose a BIPOC artist, with extra points if they were "queer." My complaints regarding this fell on deaf ears. Many of the teachers are pretty decent, but the school tilts WAY to the left. The non-woke portions of the curriculum are good, especially the math and outdoor-centric programs. However, we did put our son in a different international school and he was way behind in Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. His new school has these as stand-alone classes starting in Grade 5. Not so at Riverstone.

One standout curriculum feature is that they teach Spanish from K through 8th grade and we were…read moresurprised to hear that most 8th graders test into Spanish 2 and some even Spanish 3 as freshmen, which gives them a significant advantage in their language studies. Additionally, the new Principal has done a fantastic job of fostering school spirit and a sense of community. We are excited about the years to come and feel confident we've made the right choice for our child's education.

They work cooperatively to provide the best education to each student in every grade. The parish is incredibly supportive of the school. You can sense a true partnership between the school and the parish. Parents are welcomed to be engaged in their child's education and the school. Parents are encouraged to attend daily prayer and Mass each week with the children. The students are challenged differently as they progress from Pre-K to 8th grade. St. Mary's students primarily head to Bishop Kelly, where they have a strong reputation of being academically prepared as well as being some of the most welcoming and kind students around. I strongly encourage you to check out St. Mary's incredible community.
