We absolutely love Bear Creek. It's our third year at the school and it has been a blessing. Our…read moredaughter came out of Covid from public school and unfortunately schools were trying to catch students up who were the most behind rather than teaching at grade level. The teachers, staff, administrators, and family community are amazing. The academics are challenging; they push the kids outside their comfort zones with opportunities for public speaking and large presentations. In fact, Bear Creek is now ranked 5th for best college preparatory high school in WA. They also teach the kids to be good citizens of the community at large. Whenever we have had an issue, the Division Head has helped and addressed the concern. The student body is diverse and we have never experienced any racism. I felt compelled to write this after seeing the one star review that unfairly paints the school in a negative light. Perhaps this school is not for everyone, however, that's why school tours and meet and greets are imperative. We actually toured the top ranking middle/high school, and knew immediately that it wasn't a good fit for our daughter and family. If you are looking for an academically focused school that is nurturing but still has high expectations, Bear Creek fits the bill.

We send our daughters here and they really enjoyed going to school. I did ask if they are open to…read morego back to public school to save their father some money for a new fancy boat and both kids almost had a melt down. It sounds like I am not getting that new boat.

Megan provides heart-centered leadership and genuinely cares about fostering a happy place for children and staff. She is warm and responsive in her communications, and I feel like my child's neurodivergent needs are respected. I think he truly enjoys having significantly more outdoor time than the previous corporate type setting he was at. Being so close to nature is a positive for his nervous system as well. He also enjoys the field trips very much (another positive difference of being at a homey setting vs. corporate chain).

We can see how much our daughter enjoys being in her class and how well she is learning and growing. We really appreciate Ms. Sunitha and the wonderful environment she creates for the kids. Highly recommend!!

This will be our 3rd consecutive year at Grasshopper's Empower camp of public speaking. We love it…read more!!!!!! We have recommended to it to so many friends of ours. I love their approach, the staff, the 4-day plan to achieve the camp goals. It is fun because of the camp culture, coach and the content. The staff if very encouraging and work closely to build their confidence by rewarding them for their efforts. My girls love how they are welcomed each year with scarfs and special grasshopper bag on the 1st day. It is truly empowering as it gives an opportunity to students to speak in front of unknown audience and improve their public speaking skills. The kids are looking forward to practicing their speech in front of mirrors every day because Ms.Susan said so !!! This pretty much says it all !!!

My daughter not only gained valuable creative writing tips, but also had the opportunity to play a leadership role during the class. She was proud of her finished product: a published book! It was encouraging to see how she developed as a writer and had something to show for all her hard work. Thanks Grasshopper, for delivering an engaging class that meshed well with our online distance learning protocol!

They dont always enjoy the homework hour, but I DO!!. They capture an hour or so of studying, that would take us 2-3 hrs at home, with a lot more arguing and tears. Our child was pretty behind her class in her curriculum skills 3 yrs ago. But from her hard work throughout, and plenty of guidance and help from Mrs Mumpta, and Mrs Kay, shes caught up and then some. Besides the public speaking, extra music lesson options, ease of transportation from school, cooperative costs, they really capture many aspects under one roof, with my greatest value in the curriculum management and individual guidance. While there are certainly many options, and different fits for all, we quickly and gladly give a big recommendation to Positive Ally.
