I guess I'll be the first one to review. Drugs sex fights. If you want your kid to not do drugs…read moredrink or smoke this is not the place for you to send them! coming from someone who went there. I knew this boy it was the beginning of the year he just entered 6th grade, sweet boy funny had a lot of light in his eyes. Intelligent and eager to be nice and make friends. By the end of the year, WHOLE different person. He looked drained, changed his style to look more of how everyone else was. I tried to be friends with him again because we fell out of touch but he was so harsh and f boy like IN 6th GRADE! Man that was a key example of what the school does to you, turns you into a nic or weed addict who dosnt care about anything but that and fitting the mold. I will say they had the nicest teachers out of any school I've ever been to though. This school did churn out the most effed up people I've ever met. Also when I first moved to the school I met a girl who was shy and nice, this school turned her into an alcoholic and last I talked to her she was on probation for stealing. That school changed her and the culture of it. It changed me too. It is impossible changing like that when going to this school. Also just the uncalled for amount of bullying. I remember a nice black kid went to this school and he was like the only black kid in our grade. In class the boys would call him the n word and just berate him saying the most unnecessary and uncalled for shit. They do that like to everyone there but his was a pretty out in the open example I could give. They pick the only difference you have from the mold and berate and bully you for it until you lash out change or fold inwards. Also the principle and staff ignore ignore ignore everything the children do. And them ignoring it just perpetuates it more. If your a parent looking to send you child to this school please don't. Don't send them to any school on Maui just homeschool because the drug culture is so intense everywhere. I wouldn't send my kid to any school not even the privet ones over there cuz drugs and alcohol are pushed on everyone not just the social kids. At this point just move off the island because no good will come from living there.

They have it far worse than others there, yet get constantly overlooked. Thank you ladies for doing the job no one else can handle. You're kicking bootays and taking names, ladies.

My niece sends her kids there and they all love it. The negative reviews written about the school make no sense and seem to be from people who have not gone there or have never sent their children there. Very strange. People who have a vendetta against an employee or are just mad because they cannot afford to send their child there. All of the children and adults who have grown up going to Waldorf schools are all very real and well rounded people. Would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a respectful and well educated ( not only academically but emotionally) child

My son has told me that a staff member, Mrs. Campbell, grabbed him by the arm to slow down, and his friends verified this happened. They have shown me pictures on their phones of the red marks she left on his upper arm. Regardless of him running, she shouldn't have laid a hand on my son. They all said she can be really mean at times and overly aggressive. I was really upset and was going to file a complaint, but my son didn't want any unwanted attention. He will be going to Seabury Hall next year with his friends. He said it wasn't a big deal, but I think it is.

Our daughter tells everyone that the reason math is her best subject and that she loves it is because "Mrs. Anderson my third grade teacher taught it to me in a way I understood it".

We will miss the DTCA Aloha and Ms. Kathy's loving and cheerful radiance greeting us first thing in the morning -- so blessed!! Thank you DTCA!!

Private schools mean you PAY for lil' junior's education. So...if you are unhappy, by all means there are public schools who, since I teach at them I can say with complete certainty, will take EVERY kind of student. If you desire a specified educational experience- which, since I am currently enjoying the second of my three children at Carden for middle school, I can also say with first-hand experience - then you pay for it. Fish or cut bait. This school is loving, caring, kind, nurturing, and everything you pay for. Sorry some people want something for nothing. Public schools have been fine for my kids; Carden is a gift.
