Teaching kids empathy through seeing their teacher as a human being? So relationships matter? Hmmm, rigor, relevance, and relationships. I remember learning about that in teach school! I visited this school. What a wonderful environment. Keep up the good work! Children working creatively and actually applying the skills they are learning. That sounds amazing. I would love for my kids to go to such a wonderful school

The high school teachers have stated that they notice a difference and they are happy! They notice that my child had a different experience in education.

Not to take scripture out of context, but this is our initial impression of this school and…read moreadmissions representative: "And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet..." Going through the admissions process, it unfortunately became evident that we would not be welcomed or received well at this school. That is fine, I understand that is the case sometimes, but children should not be referred to as "burdens" or "inconveniences". All children should feel loved and supported regardless of where they are in their academic journey. Private schools need to remember that private education is a two way street. We are evaluating you just as much as you are evaluating families. Based on multiple interactions with admissions, I would not enroll my children at this school. I'm sure there are fine people that work here and care about the kids, but when the gate keepers seem judgmental, bias, and indifferent towards your children and situation, it unfortunately deters people. "In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16

Our son…read moregoes here more than 4 years now , and he loves his teacher, friends and school every single day. My other grown kids wished we placed them at DC. Education /academic meet our expectations, at least we don't have to worry democrats will attack us when talk about biblical and about our GOD. I love how our son is being teach bible, and moral is recognized. Great school and teachers know their students, love how the teachers manage car line . GOD BLESS DC and every teachers : students.

Ambleside is awesome. I've been going since kindergarten and now I'm a freshman. I've made so many…read morefriends over all my years, most of which I'm still very close with. I always feel like I'm challenged in my eduction, especially now that I'm in high school. We just had our first graduating class of 2025 meaning yes, our high school is very new. I love the new building, but, to be honest, I really miss the old building in Littleton. This new building doesn't feel like home even though it is beautiful. To be fair this is my first full year at the new place so hopefully it'll feel more like home as we go. The teachers are always so encouraging (mostly) and if you're ever struggling they will help you. Even though I've made a lot of friends because of the small classes, I'm starting to wish there were bigger classes, mostly because I really want to meet new people, but that's just not something you get when you go to Ambleside. This makes the community way stronger though, everyone knows everyone and you have the seniors playing with 4th graders and yeah! If you're looking for a sports school, that is NOT Ambleside. But we do have some sports available like basketball, volleyball, cross country, track and biking. My favorite part of this year has definitely been the high school retreat. So many of my most amazing memories have come from this retreat. Both of the junior high retreats were kinda underwhelming but this retreat was absolutely incredible. There are no honors programs or anything like that which is a bummer but there are so many subjects that are unique to Ambleside. All in all, Ambleside is not a big school with everything at your disposal. But it is a place where you will have community, super awesome opportunities, and friends for life

We have been a part of this school for two years and we are still consistently impressed with the…read morelevel of education our child is receiving. The front office staff is extremely kind, we love the teachers, and the principle, Mr. Hayes, is a consummate professional.

For that, we are thankful.

All Souls school should change its name to "All Money Souls." It follows Catholic values about as…read morewell as a cheating husband follows his wedding vows. Fathers show up in golf gear, loudly talking about their "side girl" for everyone to hear, while the Prozac wives act like cliquey mean girls. The dads without money trail the real rich guys like lapdogs, hoping to score an investment. It's honestly sad, because the teachers are good, but with parents like this it's no surprise many of the kids are rude and obnoxious. If you're looking for a school that's really just a networking event full of fake, entitled people -- and where you'd better have a million in the bank for the housewives to even acknowledge you -- this is the school for you. If you want a school grounded in Catholic values, skip it. Thank God my kids only have a year or two left, or I'd transfer them

I currently have 3 kids attending All Souls (Pre-k 3, Pre-k 4, and 1st grade) and we are so…read morethankful we found this amazing community. Our oldest initially started kinder at our assigned public elementary (CHVE) and after seeing the amazing job that All Souls was doing with our kids in ELC, we ended up making the decision to move her to All Souls mid way through the year in Kindergarten. It was the best decision we have made for our family. The education they are receiving as well as the dedication to the arts makes this school a truly special place. At the end of the day, I think the thing we are most happy with is the fact that our kids are going to spend the next few years surrounded by teachers, students and families that are loving and supportive.

We can't speak highly enough of this school and it's staff/teachers. The curriculum is very…read moreorganized, the classrooms are very clean and organized and everyone is very friendly. This truly feels like a little school with hustle & bustle and fun friendly activity when dropping off and picking up our daughter. This is definitely a school setting and not a day care so it really encourages learning & engagement. Our daughter was timid on her first day (naturally) however, her second day and beyond, she's been excited to go to school. She runs up to the teachers and is happy to show them her shirt or gives them hugs. This was a rare occasion at her previous school so it's telling just how comfortable she really is at Primrose. Her teachers Ms. Kelly, Ms. Venita & Ms. Maren have been amazing with our daughter. They always have a smile, friendly and have gentle personalities which foster a warm environment. Delise, the director (principal) has been great to work with, very communicative & very organized which is appreciated! We're super happy at this school! If you like clean, organized & friendly places, you'd be happy here too!

Update: Leadership at Primrose referenced "confidentiality requirements" and "steps already taken,"…read morein their public response to my review (seen below). In the interest of transparency, current and prospective parents should know that those steps included having their attorney at Goodspeed and Merrill send my family a cease‑and‑desist letter threatening a defamation lawsuit in conjunction with a fabricated CPS report if I did not immediately remove my review. The CPS allegations they threatened to file were created by flipping our concerns about the school back onto us; even if those allegations had been true, they still would not constitute child abuse. I'll be attaching the threatening document they sent so families can understand exactly what is going on. My review is based entirely on my firsthand experience. Any parent who wants to understand the situation more fully is welcome to reach out. Original Post: I'm writing this as a parent who keeps receipts- emails, timelines, photos, everything. And based on that documentation, I want other families to know what we experienced here. Our son came home with a bad bruise on his back, yet we heard nothing from the school. When brought to their attention, the school said they documented, but they repeatedly refused to give us the incident report. This wasn't an isolated issue. When our son caught a virus the school had emailed about a week earlier, the owner later denied the presence of the virus -- despite us having the original message. We also discovered missed diaper changes in our son's log that led to a severe diaper rash. From my perspective, this daycare is more focused on protecting its image than being honest with parents or providing consistent care. Please do your homework before enrolling -- ask for policies in writing and trust your instincts.

The staff at PWCCS are caring and attentive with students and parents. The academic and spiritual curriculum are well balanced and thorough. And I love how organized everything is. PWCCS is also an incredibly active school, with school-wide events throughout the year. I love the small class size, the school's active interest in using the advances of technology to aid in teaching and I love the open lines of communication we parents have with everyone at the school -- from the principal, to the teachers, to other parents as well. And one more very important reason I love this school -- my son is thriving there. We are looking forward to next year.
