It's hard to review a school, but when you see it from both the teacher's and parent's perspective,…read moreit's not hard. Johnson E.S. is a Title 1 school in Henrico County and has a high Spanish speaking population. The teachers work hard at what they do.

You…read morestated that public education was doing a disservice to our children and it didn't help that public schools had to cater to non-native speakers. Obviously we bought into what you were selling but it didn't work out for us. Maybe the system works for others but people should know it doesn't work for everyone. Very expensive and did little to improve my children's test scores. It is a very old school prescribed box method of teaching and doesn't take individual into account. Will not do well for those with learning difficulties. Also owner spoke very negatively about public education and immigrants and foreigners. Better off spending your money on a private tutor.

Virtual learning is not for my boys. We needed extra support. Communication with TC was very easy…read moreand quick! We made an appointment for an assessment for the two boys (5th and 6th grades). After the thorough assessment, we had a wonderful meeting with Tommy who explained the results to us and recommendations. My boys had their first session today. I may have cried when they called me with excitement! They both felt they learned a lot and "even had fun!!" Best investment ever!

My kids attended preschool here and now my son is back for elementary school! I truly cannot say…read moreenough positive things about this school. Overall it has a very upbeat and positive vibe. The kids are given age appropriate levels of autonomy, which has really helped my son thrive. They get the kids outside as often as possible and utilize their great outdoor space, including a wooded area behind the school. One example of this is my son and his class have marked out small squares of land in the woods as part of a science project and they go out there with some frequency to monitor how the land changes over the seasons. I've heard very cool reports home about this. They also just go out there to be kids and to play! The school is doing a really outstanding job of meeting each kid where they are along their social/emotional/academic learning process. For a small school they also have an impressive availability of resources to scaffold the kids where they need help. As my son is currently in 5th grade, I was thrilled to learn they will be having a 6th grade next year (2023-2024 school year) and plan to open a full 6th - 8th middle school the following year! The teachers are top notch - very engaged in designing an individualized educational experience for each child and are highly communicative and supportive with both the parents and kids. They have gotten my son from hating school to telling us about all the cool things he's learning when he gets home. Truly an amazing place!

The teachers are caring with years of teaching experience. The fact that families send all their children to the program and the lack of teacher turnover speaks to the strength of this program. The small classes and personal attention make this school feel like family. Highly recommend.

Amazing childcare. The staff truly has a heart for children. You will not be disappointed.read more

hi. recent alum here. my best friend and i attended this school. the teachers and education were…read morepretty good, but the bullying and exclusion of my best friend and i was not helped at all. i remember students were called homophobic slurs here and i had many racial microaggresions directed at me, but every time i tried to bring this up to the head of school there, i was promptly dismissed and it felt like nothing changed at all. i take note of this because a student there was so easily expelled when a white student complained about her sending a death threat, but when my queer friend and i complained to the school multiple times about the bullying we experienced, there was little to no punishment to the bullies. i also should mention there was no school counselor for a majority of the time i was there. skip forward to my eighth grade year, my best friend committed suicide. while i do admit there were probably other factors contributing to this awful event, bullying was one of the main issues as they had told me before their tragic passing. the bullying was mainly due to the fact that they were queer. orchard house never really brought their attention to this obvious discrimination in their school. after their passing, i had to leave for a week or two for my mental health, and the head of school there told my class the details of what happened with me without my or my family's permission. this school is okay if your child is white and cishet, but otherwise, please save your money.

There is very little social issues/conflicts at Orchard House, and faculty still makes a point to discuss social issues and make it known that the school is a safe place, and a sisterhood.

I was fully transparent about…read moremy child and his recent behaviors going into the center and I was assured that Kindercare works with the family and goes through a process with steps before asking a child to leave. I was handed paperwork for behavioral strategies that they do not use. My child was sent home after hitting a teacher on the hand one day. The next day he pulled out all the stops to go home within a few hours of arriving. He was told not to come back. We tried another center with teachers with more experience and he's a different child. Really disappointing.
