From the moment we first stepped on campus which is now 5 years ago, it just felt different -- warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The teachers are incredible -- caring, attentive, and truly invested in each child's growth. The curriculum strikes such a great balance between strong academics and creative, hands-on learning. My daughter has grown so much in both confidence and curiosity since starting here and even visits her favorite teacher Ms. Castro. The sports programs are another huge highlight! There's such a great community spirit, and it's clear that the staff..shout out to Mr. Kennedy...values teamwork, leadership, and fun just as much as skill. What I love most is how inviting the environment is. You can feel the pride and positivity in everything from the classrooms to the playground. It's a place where kids are genuinely excited to go to school every day. I love every year they have been introducing new electives from sewing to DnD to even a T Swift club that is engaging for everyone. If you're looking for a school that blends strong academics, great extracurriculars, and a warm community -- Maryhill Midtown is a gem. We couldn't be happier.

The markers of a successful business are growth and retention. The academy has neither. Don't let them lie to you & tell you they have a waiting list. As their school gets smaller their goal size for a classroom shrinks with it. All 4 of my kids left here very unsatisfied. My oldest was falsely accused of making threats with no evidence to back it up. My middle was bullied for a year and a half. It was brought to the leadership of the schools attention over & over, Ms Barb & Mr Rob took no action. At parent teacher conferences in October we had two teachers bring it up & say they were trying to work on it. We saw no results. We left mid year. My girls both left over a year behind & required 6mo of intense tutoring at Sylvan. They had been working 1-2 with Ms Barb as their tutor twice a week for an entire school year prior to us leaving. She claims to work well with dyslexic children, but she missed it in youngest completely. I brought it up more than once because I have dyslexia. We have since got a diagnosis & the help she needs elsewhere.

The principal, Ms. Yvonne, is very hands-on and always available when you need to speak with her. The assistant principal, Ms. Katie, consistently goes above and beyond. Ms. Roy and Ms. C are by far the best teachers your child could have--they ensure the kids are learning every day while having fun, and they care for them genuinely and kindly.

My child has thrived here. The progress we've seen is remarkable: confidence, curiosity, and a true love for learning have all blossomed. The teachers don't just "teach to the test"; they create an environment where children are encouraged to ask questions, think critically, and celebrate their unique strengths. What makes Merryhill stand out is the balance they strike between structure and creativity. The curriculum is challenging yet engaging, and the small class sizes allow for personalized attention. We've also noticed how well-rounded the program is character development, leadership, and kindness are emphasized just as much as academics. They put a lot of work in to afterschool programs and making it fun for children as well. The growth my child has shown since starting at Merryhill has been beyond our expectations. We are so grateful for the supportive community here and truly believe this school is giving our child the best possible foundation for the future.

We have observed the school's culture become increasingly rigid and compliance-oriented over the…read morepast year. After the owner significantly reduced her involvement in the classroom, her husband -- who we understand does not have a formal teaching background -- assumed a much larger role in teaching and school operations. During this period, our child frequently returns home emotionally exhausted. The school's highly structured disciplinary approach often addresses age-appropriate childhood behaviors as formal discipline, which we believe negatively impacts our child's self-esteem and emotional wellbeing. Our child regularly expresses reluctance to attend school, including episodes of crying and pleading not to go. We were also disappointed that we were not able to communicate directly with our child's teacher; all correspondence was directed through the owner's husband. In hindsight, we wish we had given greater weight to the significant number of families and teachers who left the school. These are our family's own experiences and observations. Our family will not be returning next year. Prospective families should conduct thorough due diligence, including speaking with current and former parents, and we strongly recommend having a qualified attorney review the contract before signing.

Not only do they check off all of our boxes but they offer so much more than we could have ever asked for. In addition to providing a safe and secure environment, every staff member truly loves what they do and cares about each and every student. It is a home away from home and I know that each day that I leave my child in their hands, that she is more than well taken care of. They are extremely communicative and share classroom updates, school news and photos of my child each and every day. We love that it is project-based and a STEAM school as she has already learned so much! Additionally she is learning how to speak and write in Spanish and Mandarin!

So each child gets the attention they need. They also provide individual educational plans. The students learn BOTH Mandarin and Spanish. And they also offer global studies.

My child is thriving so much! And it feels like a real family here. I love how small and intimate it is. And I'm really looking forward to my child growing up with her classmates over the years. I highly recommend CIS to anyone that is looking for a unique school experience for their children. It's also a VERY safe environment. I never have to worry about my child which gives me so much peace of mind!
