Our teacher, Señora Theresa, is fabulous. I can't praise her enough. Her calm, confident style and creative crafts and projects are inspiring. I love that we get to watch our chid engage in preschool activities. The campus is clean and welcoming. The classroom is full of fun and educational activities, toys, and play centers. The outdoor play structures and equipment are great. My kids have so much fun every time we come. I only wish I'd known about this program sooner! It's amazing that you pay only for yourself and can bring all your kids! We have been in the preschool Spanish class and I give two thumbs up! Thank you Grossmont and Sra. Theresa!

They offer homework assistance before school every morning in the library starting at 8 am. My son doesn't utilize it, but I'm sure if he needed to we would. He's been able to maintain an A average all year. His teachers are great. I love that they all embrace technology in the classroom, a marked improvement from elementary school. I especially love his speech and language therapist, she is just fantastic. She made the transition so smooth for him. I wish everyone had her excitement and passion for work. She is a great asset to this district. I know his life and time at Parkway Middle School is vastly improved for having her in it. Rather than focusing on past issues I have had with the district, I would just like to say that my experience with this school has been much more positive and I feel that my son has definitely experienced a better environment over here. I've also witnessed how they deal with behavior issues while on campus picking my son up for appointments. I was pleased with the approach; it was firm, fair and consistent.

We will soon take our second and fourth grade daughters to France. They are well on their way to fluency even before ever setting foot in a French speaking country.

Because this is a magnet school, it is free and if you live far enough away, your child can take the public school bus to and from school.

My son just completed his kindergarten year at Harriett Tubman. The teacher Ms Mendoza and…read moreteacher's aide Ms Sherri were amazing with all the children. My son was at a 1st grade level on Math and Science half way through the school year. He was able to achieve 1st grade level language arts soon thereafter. Inside the Kinder class there were computer stations for the kids to practice their skills on successmaker and my son was always coming home and talking about the great things he learned in class. I enrolled my son to this school after referral from a close friend of mine who has her three children enrolled. The school is an amazing place and the staff all care so much about the kids and families. I highly recommend anyone looking for a kindergarten class for their child to consider Harriet Tubman. Also if your child is not doing well in their current school, Harriet Tubman cares and shows dedication to get your child back on track with programs to provide extra assistance for the children that need it. The school strongly supports the future of the children promoting college and developing science skills with 3rd graders building Lego robots. How awesome is that, right? Harriet Tubman is a welcoming environment that teaches the children beyond academics important life lessons like respect and integrity. I am proud to have my child be apart of this school.

The teachers and staff truly go above and beyond to create an environment where each child feels seen, valued, and encouraged to grow. We currently have three children at the school, and each of them has had such a positive and unique experience. The balance between strong academics and character development is something we deeply appreciate. It's clear that the school is focused on nurturing the whole child, building confidence, kindness, and a genuine love for learning. One of the highlights for our family has been the musical program. Our daughters have been involved in the school musical, and it has been such a meaningful experience for them. Not only have they grown in confidence and creativity, but they've also formed friendships across different grade levels, which has been so special to see. The sense of community that comes from these programs is truly something unique. We couldn't be happier with our experience and feel lucky every day to be part of this amazing school. It's a place where children are encouraged to thrive, friendships flourish, and families feel genuinely connected.

I have only GREAT things to say about Mt. Helix Academy!!…read more My little 3rd grader has THRIVED at this school. Known to be very shy and often wouldn't participate in class, we were desperate. There wasn't ever any trouble, just no willingness to be part of school functions, class projects, and we were about to succumb to the idea that was just the way it was. No joy for school or even extra-curricular activities. Well... these teachers did amazing things!! My child is like a whole new kid. The small class sizes helped them focus on my child's needs, and the care the teachers showed made such a difference. Now my child loves school, can't wait to "try" math (it can still be hard) and is in the school play! I would have never thought this could happen. I was just looking for a place where a child could feel welcome and loved, and, oh yeah - learn. I am so very thankful that we took a chance on Mt. Helix Academy. I can't recommend them enough!

I have been working as an educational consultant at GSDA for 7 years. It's not only a job for me,…read moreit's like a second home. GSDA provides an alternative T-K through 12th grade educational setting, appealing to families from all walks of life. It's amazing to watch our homeschool parents learn and refine their homeschooling techniques, and I love being a part of that experience. Our high school independent study program is amazing - students don't slip through the cracks at GSDA because the high school team knows exactly how to address the educational and emotional needs of all types of kids. It is an "everyone knows everyone" type of atmosphere. The consultants go above and beyond to make sure that all students are successful, something that is really hard to find in a traditional high school setting. Working at a small school gives all of us the opportunity to get to know each student personally. I love being able to try different curricula, projects, and teaching techniques with my families. No two kids learn in the same way, and GSDA provides a supportive environment for all types of learners. It's a great place to work!

She will be attending a 4 year university in the fall, and she feels that this would not have been possible without the support of her consultant and other teachers at GSDA. She became involved in the ASB, and she enjoyed this as well. We are very happy that we made this decision. A lot of parents don't know that there are choices out there, and that they can make a choice that might make a difference for their child's future. Every student is different, and this school makes a great effort to meet each student's needs. Good job, GSDA!
