    Omg wish we read these reviews beforehand placing our child. we removed her less than an a week…read morelater. BTW google legal cases against the grove school. There are many and many currently going. They have inadequate staff and not enough of it. The "young" staff also has been caught rewriting events in logs since there are not enough cameras on campus. Everything you see on website is a facade. Read these reviews each one is 100% accurate and valid. Do your own research. everything is online. I wish we did.

    from shitty dorm staff, who tormented my son, treatment team that didn't do anything- kids not…read moregetting punished to stop. they hired a child r8pist and nudist who gave info out to minors online, as a dorm staff in the youngest male dorm. they hire anyone off the damn street. most teachers aren't qualified. your kid isn't allowed in their living space for most of the day, even weekends. if you go to a tour, they make it way better than it actually is. Heck- they usually plan them on a day with an edible food schedule. they have "so many options". for instance, moldy bread in in-opened packages. my son had to throw out 3 in ONE BREAKFAST! they give staff and part time (who are only there for 4hr shifts) out your kids information- even info that we were TOLD would be confidential to my sons treatment team. They DO NOT prepare anyone for graduation. my son stated he wasn't ready, and needed help with that. but from his dormstaff that almost put him over the edge, he couldn't deal with the bullshit. The staff know how to mess with their and your heads as parents. He is lightyears worse than when he got there 3 years ago. being told "You'll hate your life even more as an adult" to "sometimes adults have to do things they don't want to do" (such as not being 'allowed' to be in your dorm, or no getting accommodations he was told he had by his advisor.) they treat students very unfairly, and my son who had no prior eating difficulty, developed practically starving himself to this day. tons of trauma and flashbacks from this place. They manipulated him. Horrible. do NOT SEND YOUR KID HERE!! 20$ + 5$ per pound of laundry, per week sent out. they get it 2 days after, if on a monday. if on friday, they get it 3 days after, on monday. they don't let you shower past 10. my son had medical accommodations on this, and only one dorm staff listened. the other one who didn't, he is still suffering from trauma with, and she was told multiple times on emails my husband and I were shown, countless phone calls as well, that she did not do her job. Year round, 120k+ a year. for profit. sports teams sucks if your kid actually cares about it. this school is a joke TONS more i could mention, but this was stressful enough with flashbacks he's experiencing. DO NOT SEND YOUR KID HERE UNLESS THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY PSYCHOTIC!!

    Connecticut Experiential Learning Center (CELC), literally, takes my breath away…read more The opportunity for the students at CELC is amazing and the dynamics of the group of students is absolutely beautiful. CELC is what, I believe, every parent would want for their child: a bully free and truly challenging (individully titrated, another miracle for a school) learning environment. Melinda Alcosser and Maria Mortali are the two exceptional forces that lead the learning process at CELC: for kids in grades 5th through 8th. Why CELC for my family? Coming from a fantastic public school in Shaker Heights, Ohio, (Onaway elementary school) we moved to the shoreline of Connecticut into a school system with high ratings. The bullying was so unexpected and frightening. Worse, my child was "viewed" as the problem. We moved him to a private school (in the same community), and found the same dynamic continued to occur in this private school. He continued to be bullied and he fell through the cracks with regard to academics. My husband and I had a difficult time getting him to do his homework, and as a result, teachers disregarded his abilities and did not challenge him. We moved him to CELC in March of 2012. The second week he was there, on the way home he said, unprompted, "I love being there. It is like something was missing in my heart before, and now I am complete." Since moving to Connecticut two years ago, my son is finally happy. He loves going out the door in the morning to CELC, and he comes home at night and completes his homework!!!!! It is only believable, because I have seen it happen for my son. At CELC, he is not only accepted for who he is, he is valued. He is challenged. He is doing his homework. He is finally happy. That makes me and my husband happy. Connecticut Experiential Learning Center takes my breath away. A truly miraculous school program on the Connecticut shoreline.

    We are so grateful for the wonderful experiences and excellent education our son has received at…read moreCELC middle school. The amazing, dedicated teachers have created a nurturing environment, where the students really get to know each other. As a result, they have created a unique space where kids feel comfortable to learn, grow, and to be curious. Students are advanced and challenged according to their abilities and interests in a small class environment where they stay engaged and connected. The school provides wonderful breadth of activities beyond the core academics, including twice a week field trips, a Kingian nonviolence class, music, theater, cooking, community service, student run work shops, and other enriching experiences. Our son loves going to CELC, and CELC has inspired him to learn and to be his best self there.
