Our child has been attending MPA since the age of 3 and is now 11; We cannot even imagine sending…read moreher somewhere else! The teachers and staff are kind & very dedicated to their students. I love the peaceful environment, freedom of movement, independent style of learning and the focus on each child's "style" of learning. The combined ages of the kids in each classroom also offers them the unique opportunity to help the younger kids by being a leader. Our daughter loves going to school each day! We have always highly recommend MPA!

All three of my children currently attend MPA, and I feel they have gotten the best start to their…read moreschool careers!

My granddaughter and grandson are very very happy. It's so refreshing to hear them talk about their…read moreexperiences at chapel. I've seen tremendous spiritual growth in both of them. Both have started attending youth group at their church too. My granddaughter is getting dual credit at the county college. The teaching and communication is Godly. There is consistency and respect for everyone. Teachers are beloved by leaders and students. The core subjects are what they should be. Biggest benefit: no drama!!! I'm so thrilled my daughter & son in law pulled them out of the other "bigger" school. Thank God! For comparison purposes only, the other bigger, more expensive Christian school in Rockford does not operate like a "Christian " school should. There is no pastoral guidance, no one to override & give Biblical guidance when leaders & school board members go astray & do not handle situations biblically. It's one big popularity contest. Some leaders & school board members are liars and have tried to destroy other Christians who simply disagree. They do not exemplify a Christ-like attitude and behavior towards teachers, students, or parents. The head of schools always looked for a scapegoat any time parents complained, lambasted and circulated emails with lies about situations to save her own butt. Special treatment and the school discipline policy did not apply if you had money. Inappropriate behavior by coaches with money or close friends with those who have money went unchecked and coaches were not removed. Recently I heard the head of schools was asked to leave. But until the school board is scrapped & Godly parents take over, there's no hope. SO ENROLL YOUR KIDS HERE! Don't go to the other bigger school.

Absolutely horrible school. waste of money. the school is outdated and there always seems to be…read moreissues. they hardly have a selection for electives and have a terrible new policy on kids being tardy to school... things happen.. sometimes kids are late there's no reason to punish them over it. i will be taking my children out of this school next year and do NOT RECOMMEND. save your money and don't come to christian life!!

Both of our children attend Da Vinci Waldorf School. One is in the grades and the other is in…read moreKindergarten. I cannot say enough good things about the well rounded education my kids are receiving at Da Vinci. Waldorf has instilled such creativity and a deep love of learning in both of my children. They are not just learning facts and numbers. They are learning how to learn and how to think and do and create as well. My favorite example is when my older child started reading. He recently found a series of books he is just devouring. But, on top of his voracious reading, he is also applying the hands on skills he is learning at Waldorf by drawing his own images for the series and he is even now writing and binding his own stories. I am the owner of a technology company. When I see my son and daughter learn a skill, then make the connection to roll up their sleeves and create something on their own, I get a big smile on my face and it shows me that they know how to apply the things they are learning. I know my kids (like all kids) have an innate passion and curiosity for learning and the Da Vinci Waldorf School is the perfect place to help it grow.

Two of my kids went there for many years and there are some nice things about the school. The…read moreembracing of imagination and use of hands to create is unique and not found in many schools. But the people running the school (in many cases, is your kid's teacher) left a lot to be desired. It was like no one is in charge. Communication was unclear, rules were unclear and always changing. We left because we did not have confidence in the school to be the primary education source for our kids as it seemed that no one was qualified.

I cannot tell you how much I love this school! Mrs palmer and Mrs Anderson are awesome teachers I…read morehave had my son and daughter go to same preschool and they are wonderful in teaching they are so compassionate on what they do. I love how they incorporate god in their learnings as well. The kids are eager to come! You so have to go meet them and the school to see for yourself I give this school 1 trillion stars :)
