devoted 11 years of my life to this school--more than a decade building relationships, creating a…read morethriving drama program from the ground up, and believing deeply in the mission of education. All four of my children attended this school. I loved it. I gave it my all. That's why what I'm about to say is not easy, but it is necessary: DO NOT.... DO NOT WORK HERE. DO NOT send your children here. The school I once believed in is no longer a place I can stand behind. The leadership, particularly under Dr. Musser, and the ongoing revolving door of "Heads of School"--many of whom act more like puppets than leaders--have created an increasingly toxic and unstable environment. I honestly wish there was someway to hold them accountable for the many many good teachers, they have hurt. In just the past two months, there have already been two turnovers for the upcoming "Head of school". That level of inconsistency trickles down and deeply affects staff morale, student experience, and the integrity of the institution. Despite the red flags, I stayed for far longer than I should have because of the incredible students. But dedication to the kids can only carry you so far when leadership continuously undermines the core values of education. The teacher turnover rate speaks volumes. I urge anyone considering employment or enrollment here to do your homework: * Look into the school's compliance with charter school laws--especially regarding special education services. * Ask questions about teacher retention and leadership turnover. * Speak to former staff if possible. The stories are there, if you're willing to listen. I used to defend the school because of the hard-working teachers and my own emotional investment. But I can no longer look the other way. When bad things happen and no one is held accountable, silence becomes complicity. The environment has become not just dysfunctional--but harmful. Please look deeper. Don't be fooled by appearances... let me be clear. This is a wolf in sheep's clothing. This is not a healthy place for students or staff. The leadership is not just ineffective--it's dangerous.

Our time at Candeo Peoria was brief, and I cannot recommend this school based on our experience. At…read morefirst, everything seemed positive--the school environment felt safe, the uniform policy was well-implemented, and the principal, Mr. Davenport, was welcoming. However, things quickly went downhill. My daughter, a seventh grader, had a distressing experience with her Latin teacher, Ms. Moline, on just the second day of school. She was publicly criticized for not completing her homework and was reprimanded for her lack of organization. This was particularly upsetting because it was only her second day, and she had started several weeks late due to her acceptance date. Furthermore, she had no prior experience in sixth-grade Latin, which is a prerequisite for the class. There was no clear communication from the school or the teacher about how new students were expected to handle these assignments, and the instructions given were vague. When I met with Ms. Moline and Mr. Davenport to discuss these concerns, I was disappointed by the lack of resolution. Mr. Davenport seemed to excuse Ms. Moline's behavior rather than address it directly, and Ms. Moline herself was unsympathetic and unapologetic. Her demeanor was stern and unfriendly, which added to our discomfort, and it became apparent that many students share a similar view of her. I believe kindness and compassion are essential qualities for any educator. Additionally, my children were burdened with over three hours of homework each night, which disrupted a healthy school-life balance, especially given their extracurricular activities. I also noticed that the school's approach felt outdated; there was minimal use of technology, and their classical education model prioritized Latin--a language that is not widely used in the U.S. I would prefer my children learn Spanish, which is more practical and can fulfill high school or college language requirements. Ultimately, the lack of care and understanding of our concerns led us to conclude that Candeo Peoria was not the right fit for our family. We have returned to homeschooling through ASU Prep, which offers a rigorous curriculum that prepares students for college while also maintaining a healthy school-life balance. In conclusion, while Candeo Peoria has some positives, our experience did not meet our expectations, and we have found a better fit elsewhere.

Basically this is a scam and a "drop off" after school program. In response to knight: When I spoke with Knight he stated "she actually did worse than her first score(assessment)" I'm not sure where those testing scores below came from but they are not accurate. According to Knight my daughter wasn't doing well. Is my daughter doing well or not? This place is a scam don't waste your money or time. My major concerns: *many occasions there were more than 5 students in a tutoring setting session * My daughter stated she was typically in a group doing her own homework or was sat on an iPad to do math problems. Basically her "touring" was when she had a question, someone walked over to her to "assist". *Group tutors are teenagers The communication within the origination is terrible. I dropped off my daughter for an amassment (at my request) and no one gave my daughter the assessment. I had to take time off work and drop her off another day to take the assessment. My 5th grader spent countless hours in "tutoring" group sessions which were never logged. They never fingerprinted my daughter so there is no record of her attendance. When I asked for an assessment I was told to wait. I knew in my gut she needs to be reassessed to see if the group setting was working. My daughter took her 2nd assessment upon my request to see where she is at with her math and she scored lower than her first assessment. So what this says is that the group setting did not work and I wasted time and money because she was never given any assessment to see if it was really working. You do not receive any updates of your child's progression. They do not work with teachers even if you give each party permission to speak to one another. I was given a learning plan but there were no real goals with deadlines just items to focus on. This is a total JOKE and a waste of time. I suggest not to allow your child to attend here.
