I attribute his smooth transition to grade school, in part, to the knowledge and skills that were developed early-on at AppleTree. My middle child, now 15, also attended AppleTree Academy from toddler age - Kindergarten - and continued on in the after school program! I would not have considered any other place to send my children! My children and our family have made life-long friends at AppleTree Academy.

If you are looking for a part or full-time program that has a daily schedule, serves nutritious snacks and meals, with education and social activities, then look no further. We have always been comfortable leaving him at the facility. No organization is perfect when it comes to your child. A parent can and will always find flaws in their personal experience. I have found that even if concerns arose that the administration and teachers handled it swiftly and professionally.

My first impression here was pretty sour due to racism. A staff member showed me around and when I…read morewas in the weight room, some gym members started making random Asian noises and laughing with each other. The guy showing me around didn't say anything. Made me hesitant to go back until a month later since it's near where I live. Reception here is very weak, most of the time I do not have a signal. There is a trail nearby which is nice. Also an outdoor basketball court and bar gym. The equipment is in good shape. The bathrooms are clean. Front desk employees always greet me with a smile. But that one experience with racists is something I just can't brush off. I wish the staff member would have addressed it.

All three of my kids attend Peoria Academy and we love this school! The small size means it's very…read morefriendly and all the kids know each other's name. It's like a big family - a great community to be a part of. Coming to Peoria from the UK, we wanted a secular option for our children that embraces all religions, and the cultural diversity - much like an International School - was what first attracted us to PA. The curriculum is varied, challenging, and hands-on. Really engaging for the children, not just geared towards passing tests. I believe the kids really benefit from the experimental learning and all the extras PA has to offer above and beyond the public schools - such as the Outdoor Education Center, (a working garden / outdoor classroom), huge indoor gym, and all the diverse extra curricular activities. My kids have enjoyed trying out (among other things) Tae Kwon Do, Robotics club, lego club, Ballet, Yoga, Gymnastics, STEAM art, Scholastic Bowl, Fencing, Cub Scouts, piano, guitar, ukulele, cheerleading, mathletics, Speech, debate, cookery, and pottery (the school even has its own kiln!) Multicultural Night is a highlight of the year, along with Halloween Trunk-or-Treat, Family Picnic /Movie Night, and the Annual Gala. PA is a special place. I highly recommend coming for a tour.

Our son graduated from St. Thomas and our daughter still attends. My wife and I are both educators…read moreby background, and we can't say enough about how wonderful St. Thomas is. While it has a solid academic reputation for what's "core", we love that art, music, PE, and Spanish are a part of every child's week. It also has programs to help struggling and high-achieving students, and has character education throughout its curriculum and across every grade. St. Thomas is unquestionably a Catholic school, but in a welcoming, inclusive way. St. Thomas is able to make its non-Catholic families feel they are equal parts of the community and it binds Catholic and non-Catholics together through a focus on service. St. Thomas also offers extracurriculars like First Robotics, Odyssey of the Mind, drama, band, choir, a chess club, and the full range of available sports (soccer, basketball, volleyball, cross country, track, and - next year - golf). Take a tour or have your child spend the day - you'll see what I mean!
