In 4th and 5th, he continued to struggle to fit into the box imposed by the traditional classroom. We discovered Lumos before he entered 6th grade and it's the best choice we ever made. He is like a different kid and has blossomed over the last few years, finally getting good grades, feeling empowered to be himself, and even confidently performing on stage! The environment is warm and welcoming, and the teachers care about each student's success and help them find where they'll shine.

Both of my kids are adopted out of foster care and have unique special needs--one with more emotional challenges and the other with academic ones. Lumos has created an environment where they can both thrive, emotionally and academically. While I supplement their education with additional math tutoring at Mathnasium, I am grateful for how Lumos supports my children in developing healthy self-esteem and becoming the best versions of themselves. Although the school has undergone changes over the years, we have remained committed to our vision for our kids' success and continue to be happy with our experience at Lumos."

She was fast to follow, but super kind and detailed with her instructions. This is my third class here and I will 100% be returning. This is such a fun indoor activity to do to beat the heat and let your creative spirit take over. I am also in a pickleball phase so the cookies were decorated were literally perfect. We got 5 cookies and they each were super tasty once I got to try one after they fully dried. You can buy drinks during the class, but we didn't. I love the community at this place and how everyone sits around each other so you can hype each other up as you go. Check it out if you've been wanting to take a class!

I had the special opportunity to take a three day intensive class focused on an Impressionistic Approach to Watercolors with the world renowned Watercolor painter from Uruguay, Alvaro Castagnet. He taught us to look for the revolution within the painting & not 'paint pretty' We don't make pussy cats we make lions! And being a Leo myself this was incredible to hear. Interesting new concepts I learned like Maintain dirty water and never refresh it. Never clean the palette so one can Blend colors you have never seen before. Look for Lost & Found brushstrokes. Alvaro reminded me, To Paint with authority / Do not ever lack authority. because, If you are not confident it will show In your painting.

He calls you before the first class to check in and see what you're looking to get out of the class, which really personalizes the whole experience for you. The beginner class is 6 people for three hours, which lets you get a decent amount of 1 on 1 instruction when needed. You start out making bracelet cuffs and transition into rings and pendants after two classes. Copper & brass are free to use and silver is extra $$. Once you know you're going to start rings, I would go and buy your stones from S&J because it'll be cheaper!

I am also a student who has an IEP, Autism&ADHD so i tend to forget some stuff, yet my teachers and EVIT seems to not understand or care and without warning penalize me such as (takes pts away, give saturday school,OOO out of school suspension if you dont make it exactly at 8:00 for saturday school at EVIT), WITHOUT WARNING! which hurts me as their student so i am making this review to hopefully show y'all and EVIT this is frustrating as a student and parent. None of my EVIT teachers gave me a paper about expectations everyday in class at the begin of the year,failed multiple times to explain what punishments happens to EVIT students when not in full uniform, doesn't give no info on paper to students like what is the point of my IEP if EVIT just ignores my disabilities .P.S Understand #### Happens.
