I am a student in the Lifestyle Medicine track, and I had hard times with this school - It is about…read morethe way they communicate with us - if I did a mistake while writing one of my papers, instead of notifying about it , they directly installed sanctions and treated me as an impostor - for example about the way we should use the Turnitin - they did not provide any orientation , the specifc way it works on their Canvas( software) I had a bad score and instead of being notified to redo my paper, they did a long lecture to me treating me like I am violating their rules and they already considered a violation on my part. This summer semester, I got another low score on Turnitin but I was not aware of this score( because the score did not produce right away) and instead of getting notified right away, after the TA reviewed my paper , they waited three weeks and then they said they put me on probation and they suspended me from the next semester. I said to them that they have abusive rules, they should have notified me immediately and given me the chance to redo my paper, this school should not impose forcefully upon students, and they should give us chance to improve and grow appropriately at our own pace. and behave in a manner that does not terrorize psychologically and emotionally the students- they put you too easily on probation and after two probations they dismiss you from the program They should instead give clearer and better orientations, they should be more patient and kind, and notify upon any bad occurence and give that student the chance to make up for their mistake I do not consider they behave in an ethical and humane manner and they should not be allowed to do that with their students I am international student meaning even I live in the US, my native language is not English, I have not studied so much writing essays when I was in school and for me it is harder to write perfectly these essays that they require from us They should be more understanding of each student level and meet us where we are with kindness not with lack of support.

This school is simply amazing. Our son just started kindergarten there and it's impressive to see…read morehow he is learning. He loves his teachers and we love them for everything that they are doing. He has Spanish 4x a week, Gym 3x a week, Computers/Tech, Library, and Art. It's a STEM school that truly teaches critical thinking at every level. They also teach to the level of each child....something that most public schools cannot do. We are always greeted with a smile and staff in the school knows our child's name. They have morning care and aftercare available on the premise if you need it.
