Lately, we can appreciate how seamless they operate with COVID precautions. They have their protocols down to a T, which makes drop off and pick up so quick and easy.

Her genuine commitment to my child's success embodies what education should be.

I'm truly grateful for how smoothly this transition went for my child and am excited for the upcoming school year.

Sterling is an exceptional school for academics and quality of day to day learning experiences for children. it performs in the top of NC schools. My children's teachers are nurturing and pedagogically skilled. Independence is facilitated in children, curiosity is valued, opportunities for practice to master content are a priority and drive achievement. Montessori pedagogy supports engaging teaching and learning based in the ways children actually developmentally acquire knowledge. Parents are involved, classrooms are beautiful, well resourced and organized. It's a healthy learning environment (better than most) and I am saying this from being in more than my share of schools on the east coast for over a decade.

This space is gorgeous, and very clean. It's nice that there are separate classrooms for different groups of kids. I love the outdoor space they have available so the kids get plenty of time outside to play. My child is 15 months old right now and I'm so impressed with his skills. He can already draw a little bit and has started learning to play with the bikes and toy cars. It seems like he is having so much fun there and the teachers at this location are so kind! I cannot thank this group enough for the amazing care they have provided for our family and we look forward to what our kids will learn in the future with them!

We moved our children to Global Montessori Academy ( off Hwy 55 but close to West Cary and the RTP…read morearea ) due to the school's proximity to my work place. It was the best decision we could have made for our children that year. The Director Ms Mary and all the teachers there are wonderful , approachable and very hardworking. My children learnt so much at GMA in the 1 year that they were there that I wish I had sent them to GMA right from the beginning -we really miss the school. The school has a curriculum which they set out for the year( they email the schedule at the beginning of the year). The children enjoyed many field trips . My children learnt complex science terms, history, music and much more. GMA does not advertise much. Its mainly word of mouth publicity. I am glad to see they finally made an appearance on yelp which is why I am posting here. GMA is also open to newborns and toddlers but I do not have experience with those teachers so cannot really say much. They also have a school bus in case you cannot pick or drop off your children to school and I liked the fact they are open almost all year except during the December holidays ( a blessing for working parents). One area of improvement is that I wish they had a better play yard but overall that was less of a concern for me.

I live way too far to attend this church, but I have some close friends who do and took us to visit while we were in town, WOW, let me tell you, this is an amazing campus! Small church feeling, but so much space to hold all their activities, including a cafe!!!! They have a large and a small chapel, think weddings or other events. Oh, and this church is worth looking at the architectural details, GORGEOUS build!! If you are close enough to drive here, try a Bible study (I heard their great), or come on s Sunday morning. If you're shy, sneak in the back (which is the front of the chapel), bring the kids, because they have activity boxes (until your kids are comfortable enough to join Sunday school & other fun activities). You cannot go wrong, unless you're Jewish or catholic (this is a joke, meaning if you're not Protestant, you might want to attend mass or temple:). Don't worry, my Mom doesn't think I'm very funny either, but it's ok, I crack myself up;) Seriously though, I found this church to be open and loving!!! Very friendly!!

We can't say enough about our time at Thales Academy Holly Springs…read more When we moved to NC from Northern California the number one thing we were worried about was education. We toured a lot of schools and did a lot of research and it was clear to us that the public school system (at the time) just wasn't going to work with where our son was coming from academically. We thankfully heard about Thales from a counselor we happened to meet in passing and he said it would be absolutely incredible for our son. Turns out he was right. Our son is incredibly bright and very mature for his age. What we love about Thales is that he can do curriculum and courses in upper grades though he isn't technically in that grade. Example: he is in 2nd grade however he does most of his classes in 3rd grade. It was the same when he was in 1st he did most of his classes in 2nd. This keeps him challenged and from being bored in class when he would otherwise feel like he was way ahead of everyone else sitting around waiting for them to catch up. Additionally I've heard from many friends whose kids attend that if your child needs more attention and care in a certain subject, that support is just as strong as it is for kids who need to be placed ahead. What I love about that is my son isn't just being moved up to a higher grade, instead he is being kept with kids his own age in a few classes which allows him to continue to grow emotionally. Just because my son can do 3rd grade curriculum doesn't mean he is READY for 3rd grade emotionally and I love that they believe in that. I am the first to admit that the classical learning style is NOT for everyone. My son THRIVES on structure and having expectations presented in a direct way. Not all children like this or need this kind of learning structure - but that doesn't mean it's because this is a strict and mean school. The curriculum moves quickly, stays challenging and is presented in a very real life way. My son isn't being taught how to be a perfectionist, he is being taught how to thrive in a fast paced world molded by ethics and morals. That I can absolutely appreciate in this I want and need things right now pace of life we are all living in. My daughter will now be attending Thales this upcoming school year and it's been fun watching her thrive the same way her brother does in education and we are happy to have them both attending the same school - for our own sanity too :) Are there issues at this school with staff, I'm sure. It's a school with lots of staff there are bound to be issues of some kind right? Does the principle run a tight ship? I'm sure she does with the kind of curriculum they are pushing out you would have to. Are there issues/opinion/thoughts/assumptions with parents or kids or both, oh I'm sure there is a lot of that too. Do I know about any of it? Not really which makes me very happy. I think private schools get a very bad rap for being a certain way. We all know the way and Thales Academy couldn't be more opposite in my opinion. My husband has a very public and high profile job and the safety, security and humbleness to just be us and let us be parents of two kids that attend the school is absolutely amazing and refreshing.
