Lea, the owner is on-site at all times, and her and the whole staff do an amazing job communicating and keeping in touch about anything that may be going on. You can feel there is individual attention to every student. They have been very understanding and generous during the Covid-19 crises and have done a terrific job taking care of the children of essential workers. They have put in place many protocols and measures to ensure the safety of children and staff. I would definitely recommend!

Our family has been at ROCS for five years, with our child in elementary grades, and it remains the…read moreright choice for us. What's kept us here isn't just the public Waldorf curriculum, it's the community. This is a school full of families who genuinely show up for each other and their kids. Like any school, ROCS has had real challenges, and I won't pretend otherwise. You'll likely come across strong, emotionally charged opinions from a small number of former families online, amplified well beyond what a handful of voices would normally carry. Weigh that against the fact that the overwhelming majority of us, current families here day to day, have had a completely different experience. Don't take my word for it either. Visit, ask direct questions, talk to current families yourselves before letting anyone else's unresolved feelings make the decision for you. Our five years here have been real community, genuine teacher care, and a school worth staying invested in.

We've been at Raleigh Oak Charter for a while now and honestly, the community is what keeps us…read morehere. It's a Waldorf school, so there's this rhythm to everything, music and movement in the lessons, art all over the classrooms, festivals throughout the year that the whole school gets involved in. The amount of time they spend outside has made a real difference too. Between the naturalist class and the outdoor time built into every day, my kid gets to move their body and really settle into themselves, like there's something grounding about being outside that a regular classroom just can't offer. The teachers really get to know your child. Ours has stayed with the same class for two years now, and it shows, they pay close attention to my kid as a person, not just academically. There's a real effort toward inclusion here too, every kid feels like they belong. And the other families make it feel like a real community, everyone pitches in with festivals, school events, and volunteering, and it genuinely feels like we're raising these kids together. My kid has grown so much here, more confident, more creative, just happier. If you're looking for a school with a lot of heart, this is it.

When my high school got the best SAT scores in the state they made bumper stickers that said…read more"Chapel Hill High School: Best in the State". Should I mention it's a state that ranked 48th in the country? Naaaaah. Anyway, we promptly got out scissors and rearranged the letters to make the stickers say funny stuff like Chapel Hill High School: BEAT UP THE STATE or Cheap as Hell School: TASTE THE STATE. Once I looked at the clock in history class and there was a bumper sticker above it that said Chapel Hill High School: TASTE THIN BEETS. Extra star for cancelling school even for the least little bit of ice falling from the sky. Extra 1/2 star for cancelling school for a week after Hurricane Fran. Minus one star for not including my middle name on my high school diploma. Oh, were you looking for a helpful review? Oops. Um, Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools are renowned across the state for high quality and well-qualified teachers. Much cheaper than shelling out for Durham Academy, and you get the same level of education without your kids turning into purveyors of mass snobbery!

I want to let all know that I was very impressed with Goddard School in Morrisville…read more My elder daughter was 1 year 9 months when the day care where she was enrolled called us one day and said that my kid was not fit for day care and she should be at home day care. Reason given was that she cried all the time and that was distracting other kids. At that time she was enrolled at this other day care for well over 9 months. We were very upset. It just brought tears in my and my wife's eyes. We didn't believe though. Someone suggested us to try Goddard at Morrisville. It was a saviour. In just two weeks my daughter was not only smiling but was gelling with everyone there. The teachers and owners studied my child and created a plan that helped her in coming out of day care anxiety. This confirmed that the problem was not with my child but the other day care. My daughter graduated from Goddard. While in Goddard she learnt a lot. My daughter is severely dairy allergic (life threatening). In all her years at Goddard not even a single incident happened and they never had to use Benadryl or Epipen. Hats off to the teachers for taking care. We liked Goddard so much that we enrolled our son when he was just 6 months old. All the teachers my son got were fabulous starting with infant room. Over all we spent 5 and half years at Goddard between my daughter and son. I am so glad that we did. I thank the owners and teachers of Goddard for all the support they provided to my two kids.

It's hard to put into words how grateful we are for Falls Lake Academy. Our daughter started at FLA…read morein 3rd grade, and now she's a junior. Looking back over the years, we couldn't be happier with the education, experiences, and support she's received. What has meant the most to us is how genuinely cared for she has been by the teachers, coaches, and staff. FLA has never felt like a place where students are just a number. The adults there truly invest in their students, celebrate their successes, encourage them through challenges, and help them grow into confident young adults. We've watched our daughter flourish academically, socially, and personally. She has been given countless opportunities to challenge herself, explore her interests, develop leadership skills, and participate in sports and extracurricular activities. The school does an incredible job of creating an environment where students can discover their passions while being supported every step of the way. The sense of community at Falls Lake Academy is something special. Over the years, we've built relationships with teachers and staff who have become an important part of our daughter's journey. Their dedication, kindness, and commitment to student success are evident every single day. As parents, there is no greater gift than knowing your child is in a place where they are safe, encouraged, challenged, and truly known. Falls Lake Academy has been that place for our family. We are so thankful for the impact this school has had on our daughter and can't wait to see her finish out her high school years surrounded by such an amazing group of educators and mentors. We wholeheartedly recommend Falls Lake Academy to any family looking for a school that feels like a community and genuinely cares about helping students learn, grow, and succeed. We are proud to be part of the FLA family.
