AMS has been nothing short of amazing for our family! We have 2 children enrolled in Pre-school…read morewho have been there since they were 6mo. Because of the love, attention, education and care they receive from the teachers and staff our children have developed into smart, polite responsible tiny humans who show empathy, strength and independence. The precautions that the school has implemented during this pandemic has allowed us as parents to feel safe and comfortable bringing them in everyday and our children so happy to be be their with their friends and teachers. Can't imagine our family without Apple Montessori-Nevins Rd apart of it.

I signed up my daughter for this school's summer program in Feb. Last week Wednesday, I was sent…read morean invoice for the full first month payment plus $300 in fees. Total charge was $2,400 for one month of summer camp. The price is not my main issue. Its the manner in which they bill and THREATEN. I usually send my daughter to Lightbridge which has smaller class sizes and is a better school IMO and have never been billed in that manner. Apple Montesorri billing practice is threatening and predatory in nature. On Monday, 3/20, I received an email indicating paymment should in full in 2 days or "your application will be denied". . I didnt want my daughter to attend a school with such practices so I didnt pay tge inviice forgetting that I had given them my credit card info. . My card was charged on Friday 3/24. Today on 3/27, I contacted them telling the school I'm no longr interested in their summer program. They claim I cant reverse the charge and my daughter must attend their summer program that starts 2 months away. I've already called my bank to reverse the charge. But had to leave a review as this practice is predatory and manipulative. I only wanted my daughter to attend due to the daily swim classes n activities. But I could not in good faith support a school thats so impersonal and threatens parents. Their proram doent start till after July 4 by tge way. We're still in March!.

Barnstable Academy in Oakland NJ has drastically declined under its current leadership. What was…read moreonce an inclusive and supportive environment is now overrun by bullying, intolerance, and widespread drug issues. Students openly admit to gossiping with staff, and the culture among faculty is equally toxic--judgmental, unprofessional, and in some cases, outright inappropriate. One new teacher was even caught vaping marijuana during school hours. The administration turns a blind eye to serious concerns in favor of maintaining a false image of perfection. They refuse to address problematic behavior unless pressured to do so. Their so-called "Upstander Pledge' is meaningless--a performance that doesn't reflect the school's actual values. While they're obsessed with monitoring students on cameras, they ignore the root issues until forced to act. It is a shame because it started off as a great school environment, but over the years I feel as though it is no longer a safe or healthy environment for students as it once was. I can say all this based on personal experience and my personal opinion.

This school was terrible for my son. They do a pretty thorough evaluation before admitting your…read morechild and we were very honest so I can only guess they said my child was a good fit to get the money. My son is academically gifted but has severe anxiety and low frustration tolerance. He is also a loyal friend, lots of fun and loves learning - but he can get frustrated in the classroom. The school offers zero emotional support. And please don't be fooled by their no-bullying slogan. My son was brutally bullied by some real nasty boys while several teachers stood by and watched. We found out from the man who drove him to school. My son was too sweet to know he was being picked on. When we brought it to the attention of the principle TWICE (and her side kick), they did nothing. I assume the other boy's parents had more money because it's all about the bottom line for this corporate owned school. The academics are strong But buyer beware and please protect your kids. (The social worker there is terrible too).

The Delaware Valley School District I must say is one of the best in NEPA. The district operates…read moreone High School, two Middle Schools and four Elementary Schools, with the highest graduation rate in the area. The schools offers a plethora of activities for the students to achieve their goals in life and to help them in the real world. The teachers are attentive and really care about each child's individual needs. My children love it here. They have a lot of Artistic Shows & Events for parents, Students and the community to attend and enjoy. The football team are always a joy to watch them play. They are definitely a top team.... GO Warriors!!!!

The school is great on academics. My daughter was in the honors group and they were there to help…read more The only criticism will be that they don't really push you to apply to A great University . They tell the students to go with the safe schools and that is it. My daughter was lucky that she applied on her own and is currently going to UCCON. On sports you have to have done club before getting there or you will no make it. Football players are drafted from public schools and get a full scholarship to go there while we paid the full tuition. There is a problem with cds and that is not being addressed. I guess they figured the rich kids parents don't want to hear that. Other than that they are great on academics .

No worries about security, I wanted my boys to be picked up by my mom and they checked to see if she was on my list. Highly recommend

I really don't recommend this place. 1- There is no security…read moreat all, as you puck up your child anybody can go into the school because the doors are open, the teachers are in the classrooms and there is nobody who controls or even see who comes, there is a bell but I never used it because why should I use a bell when the doors are open? When I spoke to the director and owner (Gita) about the situation she said that there was no need of it because the area is quiet and, I know the area is quiet but worst things happened in the most quiet places even I did my research on the other day cares in the area and they all have security systems for the safety of the children and tranquility of parents. 2- They don't clean the driveway in the snow days. The school is located in a long dead end very dangerous. Even one day I got stuck in the snow when I was dropping off my daughter, I always drop her off at 8am and as I got stuck and I was blocking other parents entrance I took my daughter and walked to the school to see if they could borrow a snow shovel and for my surprise the school was closed so I started calling the school and at 8:35am I was receiving a text message saying the school was closed due to snow. I never got an apology or even a call from anybody and it was a terrible day because I had to call out for work. 3- Minor things but no less important as picking up my child and her being barefoot in the middle of winter walking on the floor or sometimes she was in nap time by the time I picked her and find out that she was sleeping with poop and I could tell it was old poop. And some "other things" but those are the most important. I saw Gita 3 times, 1st time when I had the tour, 2nd time when she gave me the enrollment application and 3rd time she finally was at the school, never saw her again and there are 2 teachers sometimes 3. Thankfully this 2 months nightmare it's over.

The staff and professors at the time were awesome and I built the foundation that set me up for my entire career at OCCC. I met some great people there, a few of which are still lifelong friends. Don't underestimate community college, I'd do it all over again.
