I am an alumna of Park Maitland School and both of my children are current students. I can't say…read moreenough about this wonderful school. My kids are excelling academically and emotionally, all thanks to the attention paid to their personal growth and development. Park Maitland feels like a warm hug coupled with academic rigor. Children are allowed to become true individuals, exploring their passions while supported by the loving faculty and staff. I remember feeling the same way - I reaped the benefits of an exceptional education while feeling safe to try new things and be myself 30 + years ago! It's been a joy watching my kids blossom and soar. The campus is adorable and they have special traditions for each grade that they look forward to each year, including a yearly theatrical production. As an aside, they have kept our children safe during the pandemic, with zero quarantines required due to their strict mask policy. I highly recommend Park Maitland and urge any interested families to schedule an interview!

I have never experienced such a beautiful and well run school in my life. My daughter comes home…read moredaily with wonderful stories about kind teachers and staff all working hard to ensure she has a great day. From the people that welcome you in the office to the sweet security guards to her day to day teachers - too many fantastic people to mention. Miss Bontrager has taught her so much Math and Reading this year, Miss Ballard makes every day magical and playful, Miss Victoria is a ray of sunshine in the halls, Mr Meisel has greatly improved her swimming and Miss Hicks has awakened the love of music in her! Thank you Park Maitland! I couldn't have dreamed up a better school for my children if i tried.

We wanted more for our daughter and that's why we chose Walden Community School…read more We wanted her to love learning and to be excited about going to school everyday. On top of that, we wanted her to be safe and in an environment that would give her the freedom that she needs to express herself and learn from her peers. The curriculum is extraordinary and I'm constantly blown away by the critical thinking and creative writing skills that she's been developing at Walden.

Walden is good for a specific type of kid. A kid who needs a smaller, more personalized environment…read morefor academic success without needing a lot of emotional or medical support. One of my friends had an F in math before she went to Walden that they helped her bring up to a B. I am leaving a 3 star review because I had a very mixed experience at Walden, but I recognize that it's a great environment for some students. I went to Walden just a few weeks after being discharged from a therapeutic boarding school in Utah. It was a very rough transition for me, and Walden both helped and hurt. The other students were great, and the small size was much better for an autistic kid than a traditional public school. However, the teachers and administration were not very understanding. I know that they can only do so much to help an emotionally struggling teen, but they could have practiced more of what they taught: empathy. I had issues with showing off, but instead of talking to me about it and correcting me in the moment, administration talked to my parents about expelling me. It would have been different if they'd corrected me and I hadn't changed, but they didn't even try to give me feedback. Academics were decent. Great for kids who need a personalized curriculum. But I noticed that when I transferred to virtual public school, I was learning things that I should have learned in Algebra 1 in Algebra 2. They make it very hard to go to a school with a different curriculum, and that leads to some kids falling behind. They claimed to have extracurriculars that they didn't have. When I was there, they just had a dance class with a very unempathetic and ableist teacher. I was on a med that gave me significant side effects, including heatstroke susceptibility. Towards the end of the school year, we were doing a very physical dance outside, and I noticed symptoms of heat illness. When I asked the dance teacher to take a break, she refused because it was a partner dance and I couldn't leave my partner. She then said that she was proud of me for doing things even when I got hot, despite me saying many times that what she was making me do was a health hazard. I arrived at home that day and crashed on my bed, sleeping for about 2 hours. I now know that what I was experiencing was heat exhaustion. Easily preventable if the dance teacher had allowed me a break. All in all, this school has its pros and cons. Great social environment and personalized academics, but lack of understanding of students who struggle medically and emotionally. Some kids excel at Walden, others don't. If considering this school, make sure your kid is the type to excel there.
