It's the third week of school, and every interaction I have had with the office staff thus far has…read morebeen far below standard. I know it takes a great office staff to make a school great, and this office staff is unhelpful, unfriendly, unable to think outside the box, or work around issues to solve problems. The burden is consistently on the parent and they have done nothing to make our transition an easy or pleasant one. This is my third interaction in the office for various, yet very simple reasons, and once again, I am left dissatisfied as a parent of children in this highly respected school.

I have made friends that will last me a lifetime and I know they will always be there with me through the happy times and the sad times. The principal Dana Herzber has helped me grow so much in my creativity and truly is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. Dana is so involved with her students that you can't tell she truly cares. Dana has encouraged me to follow my dreams and has a wonderful team that spreads the same message. The staff at JGS is one of the many reasons I love to go to school! The teachers are truly the definition of a team! I can honestly tell you that Jones Gordon is my home away from home.

We consider ourselves so fortunate that our two kids go to Scottsdale Country Day School…read more The commitment to small class sizes ensures each child is getting sufficient individual attention, while still learning in a class environment. The administration truly cares about all the kids, and it shows. The Headmaster Mr. Steve can usually be found welcoming all arriving children and greeting each by name. The school offers programs and options, but isn't overly pushy about your participation. I appreciate their commitment to safety, and zero tolerance policies.

We couldn't be happier with the quality of education, the dedicated teachers, and the principal; the school really feels like a nurturing home for children seeking a supportive atmosphere, friendly classes, and, most importantly, top-notch education. We feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend this school. The class sizes are small, and the teachers are exceptional. Many of them have been with the school for a long time, and they genuinely care about each student, taking the time to understand their needs and provide support for their success. A heartfelt thank you to all the teachers and the principal for being such amazing individuals who create a family-like community.

Like always there is a pros and cons to the school. There are great teachers who actually care…read moreabout their students and work with them if they have a need to help better understand the curriculum. Teachers like Ms.Anderson, Ms. Katz, Mr. Cunningham, Mr. Tarter, Mr. T, and Ms. Esper, they are the best teachers that I have seen by far since 2019. The biggest issue in the school is the cliche got money type of attitude. This is what tends to be detrimental to the kids or the experience at the school. However they do have some programs that actually show that they do care about the community and their students. The biggest complaint I've had at the school by far has been the parking lot. I have seen multiple accidents in the parking lot because parents are not paying attention when pulling out of parking spaces or trying to get out of the parking lot in general. The school has had it observed several times and it's the best flow that they have had in the district but they're still issues that need to be addressed. It does help that they have officers who are here throughout the day during that time to actually direct the traffic as well as the school resource officers.

The campus is done with such purpose and the teachers truly care about the students. So get on it and get on the waitlist asap!

Veritas is hands-down the best school I have been a part of. It has been open for one school year…read moreand my husband and I are very happy that our son was able to be accepted in to the school. It has made such an impact on his on his life. He is so much more structured in his ways of life...and he is only 9. His first year at Veritas was great and he had a phenomenal teacher. I joked with that teacher, Mr. Haley, about him being Kai's teacher every year. It's also nice that parents get many volunteer opportunities so you can engage with your child and his/her class. That kind of engagement even help change my life and gave me weekly volunteer opportunities to be a part of with the children. On another note, it is also very neat that the school also just made a plethora of renovations and added a high school. It's wonderful to such forward progress so fast. I can only imagine what the future holds for this incredible school. I think it's great that the children have to wear uniforms and adhere to a strict appearance policies. Veritas is a classical academy so it really try to enforce that in everything. Not only are "normal" subjects taught like match and science, students choose between Greek and Latin, they read classic novels, learn and practice different genres of art, and they partake in Healthy Hearts. It is a really impressive curriculum. Also, the the extra-curricular activities are amazing: there's ballroom dancing, chess club, running club, sportball, just to name a few. I highly recommend Veritas to any parent who is looking for a well-structured, well-rounded, classical way of teaching. I have already referred many of our family friends to the school and they have set up appointments for next school term. If you have a child, I recommend you do too!
