My two kids entered GUS at grade 6 (the "upper school") from the homeschooling environment. They…read morewanted to be in a more traditional school setting, I wanted to ensure their learning environment retained the best parts of homeschooling: diverse, flexible, multi-layered (go as deep as you like!), integrated, and "homey." From day one, GUS has satisfied everyone's needs. I have no question that my children are understood - not just by the teachers and students, but members of the administration and faculty. It is an academically open minded and encouraging place, and thanks to GUS, both my kids have found their voice in ways that pleasantly surprised me. GUS is forward thinking in its mindset, but old fashioned in its process. Trustworthy and creative. It is a very good place.

We were trying to decide between the tailored, child-centered focus and academic rigor of a private…read moreschool, and the diversity, community and openness of a public school. We found both, and even more at Glen Urquhart. From the first moment of our visit, we were struck by the creativity and goodness that permeate every nook and cranny of this magical campus. 3 years later, our daughter is thriving in every way we could have hoped for: academically, creatively and socially. If you are seeking a place where the educators genuinely care about each child, and work to bring out the best in them, look no further. GUS is your place.

I went to Landmark half my middle school through high school. I was born with severe dyslexia. And…read moreI had great tutorial teachers that help, I believe that the one-to-one help me more with my dyslexia. The problem was I didn't do well in regular classes because they would be mixed with people with ADD and different levels of dyslexia. Yes the classrooms were small but with people with severe dyslexia it wasn't small enough. Most kids who get medicated for their ADD then can focus and read. That's not the same with me. The other problem was teachers. They would stay for a certain time. Get their certification in dyslexia and get room and board. They'd leave and get better money. The teachers were also in charge of the afterschool activities. Half of my years in middle school was At a different school And the science teacher there is so motivating, hands on and taught new ways to think about science. I thought I was going to be a scientist. Because of the change of the teachers at Landmark I had a horrible science teacher and just like that I was turned off science. They had people from all over the the world. so because of that they have room and board. I also think they take people who had a lot of money, And not always with a reading problem. When I went there they had kid who are princes from Eastern European, movie star children, and Family so rich that the kids could have their own mansion. That's why Most those buildings are named after their families. I would take a bus to school but I was felt like I was separated from the people who boarded. I could never do The afterschool activities because I had to catch the bus. I was left out. The teachers who would stay we're always good teachers but I left feeling like they should've done a little bit more. When I graduate from high school I wish they inform me how college would've been. How I could use certain techniques to use in college or in a job. I did graduate from college but I still can't read through full book without getting lost or feeling like I forgot what I read. Thank God for technology. I'm using the microphone on my phone to talk into it to type this and the speaker to read back to me so I can correct the words. With a group of my peers in middle school we started a movie called Enni's Gift talking about dyslexia.

I have three children here from nursery through the grades who are happy, healthy, and thriving. In a world where so many children are struggling, the children at Moraine Farm spend a lot of time outside, they eat healthy food, and learn in a hands on, creative way. We also have a new head of school who is incredible. I have looked at most of the schools north of Boston, and this one is truly unique. My children are not only thriving academically but they have a rich social life, and are building their character as they learn to care for the earth, for each other, and for their bodies, as well as their mind.

But once he started at the Phoenix School, things turned around. He came home after the first day and said, "It's like the teachers aren't even teachers--they're just people!" The caring relationship with his teachers, the community at the school, the way his teachers push him to do more than he thought he could and support him as he learns to push himself has been amazing. He loves school now and is thriving academically, socially, and emotionally. The way they integrate learning across all their activities is special. Students learn all the academic skills throughout all their activities, along with specialized practice in, say, math or writing, especially as they get older. They also use the community at large as their classroom with frequent out-of-the-classroom learning experiences that engage students far more than anything I've seen at any other school. Teachers support students as they produce high-quality work, with autonomy and ownership over their own learning. Teachers are among the most dedicated professional educators I've ever met. They work hard to create a community of students, faculty, staff, parents, and community members dedicated to the well-being and education of students as complete people. It's not possible for me to say enough good things about this school.
