    We have been incredibly pleased here. We have experienced both K-5 and JH with our two children…read more Teachers care and the education is excellent, but the focus on students being good people is the most important aspect for us. Our kids have grown personally and academically with adults around them who care.

    We can't say enough about our time at Thales Academy Holly Springs…read more When we moved to NC from Northern California the number one thing we were worried about was education. We toured a lot of schools and did a lot of research and it was clear to us that the public school system (at the time) just wasn't going to work with where our son was coming from academically. We thankfully heard about Thales from a counselor we happened to meet in passing and he said it would be absolutely incredible for our son. Turns out he was right. Our son is incredibly bright and very mature for his age. What we love about Thales is that he can do curriculum and courses in upper grades though he isn't technically in that grade. Example: he is in 2nd grade however he does most of his classes in 3rd grade. It was the same when he was in 1st he did most of his classes in 2nd. This keeps him challenged and from being bored in class when he would otherwise feel like he was way ahead of everyone else sitting around waiting for them to catch up. Additionally I've heard from many friends whose kids attend that if your child needs more attention and care in a certain subject, that support is just as strong as it is for kids who need to be placed ahead. What I love about that is my son isn't just being moved up to a higher grade, instead he is being kept with kids his own age in a few classes which allows him to continue to grow emotionally. Just because my son can do 3rd grade curriculum doesn't mean he is READY for 3rd grade emotionally and I love that they believe in that. I am the first to admit that the classical learning style is NOT for everyone. My son THRIVES on structure and having expectations presented in a direct way. Not all children like this or need this kind of learning structure - but that doesn't mean it's because this is a strict and mean school. The curriculum moves quickly, stays challenging and is presented in a very real life way. My son isn't being taught how to be a perfectionist, he is being taught how to thrive in a fast paced world molded by ethics and morals. That I can absolutely appreciate in this I want and need things right now pace of life we are all living in. My daughter will now be attending Thales this upcoming school year and it's been fun watching her thrive the same way her brother does in education and we are happy to have them both attending the same school - for our own sanity too :) Are there issues at this school with staff, I'm sure. It's a school with lots of staff there are bound to be issues of some kind right? Does the principle run a tight ship? I'm sure she does with the kind of curriculum they are pushing out you would have to. Are there issues/opinion/thoughts/assumptions with parents or kids or both, oh I'm sure there is a lot of that too. Do I know about any of it? Not really which makes me very happy. I think private schools get a very bad rap for being a certain way. We all know the way and Thales Academy couldn't be more opposite in my opinion. My husband has a very public and high profile job and the safety, security and humbleness to just be us and let us be parents of two kids that attend the school is absolutely amazing and refreshing.
