Our first daughter has been in Kumon for about one year now and has grown so much in her abilities as a student. We have now added our second daughter as we want her fully prepared for the transition from public to private school. We know with Kumon she will be up to speed and ready to become an excellent first grader. Thank you Mrs B!

They learned not only the foundational materials of English and Math, but they also learned more work ethic and I think that was as important as the material itself. My husband and I recommend Kumon, especially this location, to supplement the education of kids.

I am genuinely heartbroken that I have to write a review like this, but families deserve to know…read moreour experience. We were excited about The Ambrose School. During our tour, they expressed how much they loved our child, how well she would fit, and even told us there was an open spot. All we needed to do was complete the application. We did exactly that. The application asked detailed questions about our specific Christian faith and the church we attend. Within a week of submitting it, we received a cold, impersonal email informing us that our application was being terminated and our fee refunded. No explanation. No conversation. No willingness to clarify anything. Just a closed door. When I reached out and respectfully asked for the reason behind their sudden reversal, we received complete silence. Not even the courtesy of a reply. Based on the timing and the nature of the questions they focused on, it is hard to see this as anything other than religious discrimination. What makes this even more painful is that our child previously attended a nearly identical "Classical Christian" school in another state--with the same curriculum, same values, same books, same structure--and thrived as a straight-A student. She was everything they say they want in a student. Explaining to her why Ambrose had suddenly changed their mind was absolutely heartbreaking. Their academics appear strong, and I am sure many students receive an excellent education. But our experience revealed something far more concerning: a lack of transparency, compassion, and Christlike behavior. The way we were treated was dismissive, exclusionary, and completely out of line with the values they claim to uphold. Families deserve honesty and respect. Sadly, we experienced neither.

Peace Valley Charter School is truly a gem in Boise. From the moment you walk onto campus, you can…read morefeel the sense of care, intention, and community that surrounds the students. What sets Peace Valley apart is its Waldorf-inspired approach within a public charter setting. Children learn through art, music, movement, hands-on projects, gardening, storytelling, and deep relationships with their teachers -- while still meeting academic standards. My child comes home excited to share what they learned, whether it's a science experiment, a painting, or a class play rehearsal. The teachers genuinely know their students and care about their growth -- not just academically, but socially and emotionally too. The school feels small in the best way: families know each other, staff are approachable, and communication is thoughtful and transparent.

After a few hard years, I can honestly say that Peace Valley Charter School has never felt…read morestronger. The growth we've experienced as a community--academically, emotionally, and culturally--has been incredible to witness. My child is truly thriving here. The teachers and staff deserve every bit of praise. Their dedication, patience, and genuine love for the students shine through in everything they do. You can feel the care the moment you walk onto campus. They see each child as an individual, and that makes all the difference. The magical Waldorf principles that drew us to the school are more present than ever--woven beautifully into the curriculum, the environment, and the rhythms of the day. Creativity, imagination, movement, and hands-on learning aren't just ideas here; they're lived experiences. My child comes home inspired, confident, and excited to learn. Peace Valley is on the up and up, and I'm so grateful to be part of this journey. It truly feels like a place where childhood is honored, education is meaningful, and the whole child is nurtured. Highly recommend to any family looking for a supportive, enriching, and truly magical learning environment.

Bullying at this school has become an issue and not addressed. Each child is seen as profit so…read moretherefore if one child is bullying they will allow the child to stay and persist in bullying rather than remove the bully from the school. Being a private school you expect more, because each child is so profitable from the monthly income they bring into the school, they will keep a bully vs removing them. Both of my children were bullied, the principal would tell me it will be talked about every time I came for help to protect my child. The bullying continued, so bad my children had to be forced to go to school to not get behind as they felt they endured mental abuse. The rate at which students are leaving this school for another school is high. The principal allows the best students to leave by not addressing the problem students. Every student causing problems can stay and persist in problems rather than being removed permanently as the parents talk in groups about how everyone pulls from the school because the principal is allowing the problem students to maintain bullying. My son now has to be removed from the school because he is crying himself to sleep. the child harassing him has been allowed to do so the entire year no change only empty promises. If your child is harassed, you'll be forced to leave because the harasser will never be asked to leave. Shameful
