We considered many options for our son's education, and we knew that this was the most critical…read moredecision when it comes to his early, formative years. As soon as we made contact with the Waldorf School of Tampa Bay, we knew that we had found something unique. My son and I were introduced to the school through the Merrily We Meet parent/child classes, taught by one of the most delightful educators you'll ever meet - Ms. Connie. She provides a beautiful introduction to Waldorf education through modeling, singing, simple handwork, puppetry, article/book discussions, and so much more! If you are interested in learning more about Waldorf education, this is such a lovely way to start. I will forever treasure the early days when I was able to attend class with my son! I shared everything I learned with my husband, who did some more research and went to tour the school with me. We saw the campus (it's magical), talked to the administration and faculty, asked tons of questions about curriculum and safety and social emotional well-being, and left the tour feeling so relieved that we had found a school where we felt our son could have the space and guidance to thrive; not just academically, but also physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Fast forward to the end of our son's first year in the early childhood program and we cannot be happier. He is excited to go to school every morning. He has lots of free play inside and outside, circle time, a healthy and hearty organic snack prepared by his teachers, and plenty of opportunities to socialize in different settings - from outside in the sandbox, to inside playing with toys, to around the table sharing a meal. He loves his teachers, and we do too! They have been very helpful in sharing ways that we can support our son's first year in school. We treasure the fact that they honor our son's current stage of childhood and respect him as a unique individual. In addition to our son's day to day happiness with his teachers and classmates, we have learned what it means to participate in a school that nurtures not only it's children, but entire families! We have had many opportunities to become involved in our school community through the parent council and through monthly parent education sessions presented by various teachers. Topics are always inspiring and range from nourishing a child's imagination, to how art feeds science, to creating loving boundaries, and many more. We have felt so welcomed and respected by the entire community throughout our first year as a Waldorf family. And we've learned a lot, too! In summary, my child is safe, well cared for, and respected at his school. His teachers know what is developmentally appropriate for his age and for him as a person, and they guide him accordingly. The teachers, administrators, and parents all support each other and the result is this peaceful, thriving, magical little community beneath the oak trees in Palm Harbor, FL. A place where learners are exposed to rigorous academics alongside the arts, plenty of time to explore and play and move their bodies, instruction in multiple languages, hands-on experiences, and countless opportunities to think critically. And I'm so glad that we get to be a part of it!

Personalized tutoring available. The Head of the school Mr. Jim Zwers, Dean Sikica Feldman, Elly Lago and the rest of the Staff go beyond the ordinary to make sure all students are happy, learning and having the best school experience ever. The school is very supportive of the personal goals of each student, guiding them in that direction so they can accomplish their goals. My granddaughters have learned not only academics but social skills and athletic training with the Knights cheerleading team. The holistic approach to education of CAI is brilliant preparing these students for life becoming the best version of themselves, ready to be successful in our society and contributing as a member of a group. I highly recommend this school.

My daughter runs on a pretty intense schedule and to me that is a very high plus point. In the adult world where you have big dreams and goals, you need to be set up with education, discipline and persistence. You need to know how to be part of a group and a team member. I truly believe that this school will set her up in life. And I have to give a shout out to Julie the cheer coach. She has a huge job. I see that. But what she's providing to these girls is a a wonderful activity where they are winning. My daughter is so proud to show me her routine as she learns, she's so proud to have her cheer uniform and is sooooo excited to perform. As a mother it fills me with utter joy to dress her up and watch her perform. I'm so thankful that the school and its staff are all there creating this environment. And as far as the previous negative review. It is old and nothing like what I experience. Moving here from California, I needed fast response and assistance in getting my kids enrolled. The school staff were there for me. I needed something addressed, I waiting less than 5 minutes to speak with the Dean directly. My daughter takes flowers from home to her teacher and that to me is a great indicator she's happy.

THE OUTCRY: The amount and tone of the negative reviews from…read morestudents and parents about Dunedin High (DH) and especially Pricipal Kyle Johnson is disheartening. But, I must CONFIRM their accuracy as someone who's mentored there. It's NO SURPRISE to me that DH's ranking has dropped considerably under Principal Johnson. I give a one star review for the few good teachers left. Those who CARE about their students. Otherwise, if I could, I wouldn't give it any stars. THE PAST: After winning the Mentor of the Year Award about eight years ago (under a previous administration), getting 10 of my DH mentees/writers published (including a two week show of their work at the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art) -- my students and I felt PROUD. However, regardless of those accomplishments, today I wouldn't mentor at DH. Sadly, it's not the school it once was. THE PRESENT: Former employees have told me that several current employees are looking for positions elsewhere. No wonder. Principal Johnson has been the cause of disharmony, disappointment, and distress among staff, students, and parents since he took office. Many voiced in the detailed reviews posted. THE CONTACT: Thankfully, I've had minimal contact with him. As a veteran Senior PR Counsel, published author, and business owner I have a good working knowledge of what it takes to run and promote an organization and its people. Motivating teachers, maintenance staff, volunteers, et. al. is essential for success at any school -- and any organization. In the world of busines, besides motivation, any manager who lacks the ability to accommodate or ameliorate disagreements, issues, conflicts, etc. will have a tough time being successful. And is eventually replaced. In Johnson's case, we can only hope his time at DH is limited. DH VS OTHER SCHOOLS: After volunteering at many North Pinellas high schools, interacting with other principals, Kyle Johnson is by far one of the worst in the system. He's brought the school's reputation to an all-time low. I used to be proud of my accomplishments at DH, especially helping students in writing and publishing. But now, sadly, I'm ASHAMED to mention my past volunteer efforts there. I live in Dunedin, within walking distance from the school, but I'd rather travel 40 minutes to another school where my mentoring efforts are appreciated and SUPPORTED by staff, teachers, parents, and students. And the principal.
