I graduated from Shorewood High School in June 2010 at 17 years of age with my commencement one…read moreweek after my commencement from Shoreline Community College for an Associate of Arts and Sciences degree. Attending the school on-campus from the autumn of 2006 to the spring of 2008, I enjoyed the classes and variety of electives offered. My teachers were good to excellent and I enjoyed the campus design. It has since been remodeled into a multi-story structure. I took part on the swim team all four years, track and field one spring, and water polo two springs. Some of the dynamics between students in my classes and in sports came to be a bit tiring, so I decided to take part in the Washington State Running Start program full-time from the autumn of 2008 to the spring of 2010. This meant I took 100% of my classes at Shoreline Community College instead of the high school. It was a great was to transition to college coursework and attain my first college degree in conjunction with my high school diploma as the credits I earned counted for both.

I can confidently say that St. Alphonsus is nothing like that review. It's gone through many changes including a new principal and vice principal who are deeply committed to the well-being and growth of the school. St. Alphonsus has a half-day preschool class and two full-day preschool classes which shows how much this school is growing! St. Al's is diverse and welcoming of all religions and family dynamics. There have been many positive changes over the years leading to the beautiful school it has become!

Dee responded quickly by email to our online application and was very flexible about setting up time to tour the school. Dee asked us to bring our child with us for the tour and it immediately became apparent why. She was amazing with our son. Both firm and clear about expectations/rules, and also accepting and engaged with him. The school looks and feels amazing, very cozy. We felt comfortable in it and so did our child. The hours for summer session turned out to not fit our schedule, so we're still looking at options. I specifically wanted to writing a review to counter the punitive 1-star below.

They really seem to have a handle on how children learn best, and how to foster a child's creativity. Lessons are taught with the children's strengths in mind, which not only give the kids confidence, but also helps them excel in subjects they are interested in. Music is obviously a large part of the learning at Crescendo, but it is not that is simply a "Music School", it is a preschool, PreK, and elementary school that utilizes music to teach kids. We looked at many different preschools, and they all looked the same. 1 to 3 little rooms with the same furniture, same bins labeled "blocks" and "trucks", same "dress up corner". The only things that seemed different between them were the names and the teachers. Crescendo has an entirely different feel to it. I love the multi-age classrooms, and the elementary kids all seem to learn a lot from each other. If you are looking for a fantastic Preschool or Elementary School program, definitely check this school out! Additionally, I do NOT work at this school; I am simply a very pleased parent!

Now that they have grown the kids do not get as much one-on-one attention and it is no longer as individiualized like it was when we started. Its not bad if you want a place to put your kid for little money but really, there are way better programs out there for learning. Its one of those places that tried to expand faster than they could handle and the quality of the program has gone down. It's because of this that I would recommend to look at other schools for a quality preschoo/kindergarten (they really don't have an elementary program yet, just a few kids).
