Mr. Daniel Lee was my sons counselor and when contacted he also responded in a timely manner and was always willing to help. I expressed to him that I've never experienced a staff member at any school who has was as helpful as he was. The professionalism , empathy and kindness he exuded was a plus. This is what schools need; people willing to take those extra steps to ensure that the kids are acknowledged and supported! As I've communicated with him I appreciate that and will be forever grateful! Thank you.

Traditional school + tutoring was unable to teach him to read, especially because he was stubbornly against learning to read. Homeschooling with him was frankly a disaster. I'm very tenacious and resilient normally, but his stubbornness just kept defeating my efforts. Morningside is pricy, but in our extreme case we needed real help. My son is now reading and the relief is hard to convey. He's still behind his grade level, but showing truly amazing progress. Thank you Morningside!

I don't often write a review, but after reading the previous review of Nikki, I felt I had to write…read morethis. Let's be real, people. Nikki did the responsible thing and called the school. The school listened and said they would take action. End of story. From reading the review, Nikki knows absolutely nothing about this wonderful school. My daughter came from a school that failed to teach her to read, and blamed the problem all on her. My daughter is thriving at Morningside, and is now a reader. No, the problem was not with her, it was with her old school. Morningside did what seemed impossible last year - they accepted a kid who was struggling to read in the sixth grade, and have turned her into a seventh grader reading above grade level and thriving in all her other subjects. Last year she felt like a failure, and that was backed up by the school she attended. This year, she is feeling like a success, and dreaming big of one day becoming a vet. I've heard story after story of success stories at Morningside. Before enrolling my daughter at Morningside, I knew of one boy that came out of her previous school reading at 3rd grade level in 6th grade, and is now in a Seattle Public high school with a B+ average. I also spoke with many extremely satisfied parents before enrolling my daughter. Morningside is dedicated to helping their students to reach their full potential, then sending them on their way when they are ready. The teachers are first rate, know their students inside and out, and the school supports the kids 100% academically and socially. One bad review from someone who knows nothing about the school should not dissuade prospective parents. I was in tears at our first Morningside parent/teacher conference when I heard my daughter was now reading above grade level. Not only that, she's met a great group of friends. That's just our family's story. There is hope and help out there for struggling kids, and Morningside is a superb choice.

And they do it , while providing a fun, caring and strong community for all. Westside school moved into a permanent home a few years ago and hired a new head of school a few years before the pandemic. These changes have supported the school into a solid place for a child to learn and be amongst others. The balance between academics and Social emotional skills is good and the school has a wealth of talented and dedicated teachers and staff who care about education, the world and making positive change. There is nothing better than seeing my child run to school every morning. We have been there 4 years and I was hesitant to go to an independent school at first. I didn't grow up rich and was concerned. This is truly a great community of people who want to make a difference in the world and value children being seen for who they are.

Holy Rosary was a breath of fresh air for our son after his Kindergarten year at a public school…read morewhere he was "lost in the massive shuffle" of kids. HRS was able to get him caught back up to 1st grade level after slipping in Kindergarten. Since then he has thrived both academically and socially. The level of education provided by caring teachers and staff definitely helped him become the well rounded student he is. The teachers, their curriculum and dedication to student development is evident in the kids and provides every student the base to move on comfortably into High school. An equally important and valuable part of HRS is the family and parent community. Definitely one of the best group of people to share the challenges of raising children through elementary and middle school. The way that everyone comes together to make sure fundraising is a success and traditions are handed down is absolutely special. A final point that stands out to me is how HRS handled the events of Covid. Terrible as it was for everyone, HRS anticipated the possible impact on our kids and literally days before the "shutdown" we were told that as a precaution each child would be given a box of work and supplies. Then when the unfortunate happened, the teachers and staff stepped up immediately and prepared for families to pick up the remaining supplies needed to work remotely. It happened so fast and seamlessly, it was awe inspiring. Hopefully, we are never faced with that again, but I can't imagine a better place to be. I can't recommend HRS enough, from the front office ladies that keep the day moving smoothly, to the after school aids that provide such care, Holy Rosary is worth every penny and more.

My child goes to the Villa Academy…read more We want our kid to be a decent citizen. If she becomes a corporate tycoon, a brilliant scientist or an astronaut, great. But we would like her to do those things while leading a life that respects her fellow man/woman. Next to the door of one of the kindergarten rooms at Villa, the teacher has created a mural with the words, "Respect, Compassion, Self-Discipline, Citizenship, Trustworthiness, Honesty, Responsibility, Fairness, Perseverance, Integrity". The Villa Academy is not some haven for rich kids that merely gives lip service to these values. They walk the walk. Even the earliest preschool classes have seasonal projects that focus on helping others. Service to others is a main focal point. Our child's teachers have all been excellent. Small class sizes with classroom assistants keeps the classroom environment orderly and focused on learning. Mrs Olson, you ROCK. To an outsider, I'm sure Villa might appear to be a bastion of the WASPs. Be careful. As soon as you drop your guard, and stop viewing people as wealthy snobs, you just might discover that most parents at Villa are really very warm hearted folks. People go out of their way to help each other out. And Villa parents are very, very dedicated to both the kids and the school. While my child has benefited from Villa, I think I have grown as a person as well. For what its worth, there are plenty of folks who are not Catholic who send their kids to Villa, and quite a few who are not Christians. We are very, very happy Villa parents. I won't make light of the cost, its not cheap. But people send their children there for a reason, and its not to brag to the neighbors. Its an excellent school, and an excellent community.
