I can't recommend this school enough. My daughter started at MDC when she was 3.5 (she's 5 now) and…read moreit has been a wonderful place for her. She's always been very quiet and reserved with people so starting school was a hard transition for her but I'm grateful we had MDC. Every step of the way her teachers were nurturing and encouraging, creating an environment where she has thrived. Socially she is still reserved but she has grown immensely. She talks in front of her whole class on sharing days! This from a kid who literally wouldn't speak anyone for the first 6 months. Our family members always comment on how far she's come and how confident she is. If she hadn't been in an environment where she felt safe and allowed to explore things at her own pace I don't think we would have had the level of success we have had with her social issues. Her teachers are extraordinary and she adores them. I have experience with another popular preschool in town and the level of compassion and care from the teachers here at MDC is far above. Academically she's on point, if not ahead. She has a late birthday so, as of now, she's not in kindergarten yet but academically she is at the same level as her friends in Kindergarten at a S/K school out south. At MDC she began reading when she was 4 and now, at 5, she is reading compound words and even some long vowels! She knows all letter sounds, several blends, recognizes sight/cvc words, creates her own story books, writes numbers, counts to 100... but beyond that she's loving learning about other cultures, the world, and art. I'm always impressed by the work she comes home with and things she tells me that she has learned at school. I know she didn't learn that from mom & dad! We plan to continue her education here as long as we can.

A Life-Changing Experience at Salem Academy…read more Middle school can be a tough time for kids, but Salem Academy's Bridge 56 program offers something truly special. It gives students the independence they need while still providing the support and guidance to help them succeed. Our son started at Salem Academy in 5th grade, and this school has changed his life in ways we never could have imagined. Unlike public schools, Salem Academy looks at the whole child--focusing not just on academics, but also on character and personal growth. It's a safe, encouraging place where kids can learn, grow, and become who they were meant to be, surrounded by positive role models and supportive peers. Now, as we approach graduation, our family will forever be grateful for our time at Salem Academy.

At the Mark O.Hatfield Library main desk, staff will issue to area residents a "community borrower's card" for a yearly fee of $50. To access the campus, I always park in the visitors' lot on the east side of Winter St., close to the intersection with Pringle Parkway. The signage is confusing: parking is free for casual drop-ins only on weekends. For those from away, walk NE from the visitors' parking until you see the fountain. There is found an excellent map and you can orient yourself. The Martha Springer Botanical Garden is a few minutes' walk from the library and worth a visit. It does not show on the online map. It is the green strip north of the Sparks Center, on the south bank of the Mill Race.

I feel that they truly mean this and actively work to achieve it. Professors genuinely work to learn your name and get to know you on a personal level. The experience and level of education we gained from GFU is worth the investment and we are already reaping the financial benefits of our investment in education with our current employments. If you are considering GFU as your avenue for education, go take a visit. Explore the campus, meet your potential professors and get a feeling for the school. I have no doubt that you will agree with what I've said and have a gut feeling that GFU is an exceptional school who value their students.

I would not reccommend this school to my worst enemy. Do not believe the lies they feed you this…read moreschool is not what it pretends to be and I am almost certain there is shady activity going on behind the scenes and I am not the only former student who feels this way. The owners are simply money hungry and do not care about the quality of education and rather the quantity of $ they can rob from students. I also suspect embezzlement through student financial aid living expenses. This school sucked me of my passion for hair and made me an unhappy person. I do not regret leaving though I am left with enormous debt and nothing to show for it, I do however strongly regret ever attending and signing a contract that prevents me from getting my transcripts so that I can finish my hours at another better school. Save yourself an enormous headache and do not go here!!!! You will not learn the skills you need to be a successful hair stylist and you will end up being drained both emotionally and physically.
