Worst school for parents whose children need a little extra help getting used to things. Not once…read moredid we as parents be made aware of problems that our child was having in school. Instead we were called in by three individuals, and were told that the school was not a good fit for our 4 year old. No suggestion's on what we can do to help her. Just being told that she couldn't come back. Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience" Where was the kindness, humility, gentleness and patience with my child? This school should be ashamed of themselves and everything they represent. They have destroyed a four year olds self esteem. An innocent child who has never done anything to anyone.

They seek to love, learn and live Christ. The new building is a huge blessing and the parents contribute to one another. The school is small(about 175 students) but the impact is great. If you are looking for a school that is focused on the glory of God and excellence for that purpose, you should schedule a visit.

Central College Preschool has been the very best decision that my family has made in terms of…read moreproviding an educational foundation for my child. My child completed their preschool experience with strong pre-academic and spiritual foundations. The administrative staff, preschool teachers, specials teachers (e.g., Spanish, P.E. instructors), and aftercare teachers are top notch. My child attended full day preschool as a 3-year-old and again as a 4-year-old. We were so impressed that we had no qualms about continuing enrollment in kindergarten at Central College Christion School. The preschool team is kind, courteous, and conscientious. The director and program coordinator have an open-door policy and welcome parent collaboration. There are many parent volunteer activities, as well as school-sponsored events during evening and weekend hours to give working parents an opportunity to be a part of the preschool community. At Central College Preschool, diversity is celebrated, and it was reassuring to see students and staff from diverse backgrounds represented. Central College Preschool (and the elementary school) is a gem! It is so much more than a school; it's a family.

Oh how I loved Indianola... thank god my parents were progressive enough to realize that not all…read morekindergartners were meant to sit in rows of desks! Indianola is an alternative school that allows kids to be kids - you start each day on the "carpet" as a group and then go to work stations around the classroom depending on what you want to pursue. Age groups are mixed, diversity is omnipresent and creativity ensues! I was mapping constellations in 3rd grade and did a project on Kwanzaa in 4th... not your run-of-the-mill elementary school experience. And try finding a better school motto than "friends are like rainbows." Can I go back to school here now? Please?

I went to Indianola Elementary from 1955 - 1961. Then it was more traditional in some ways, but…read morethere were students from the neighborhood, which was relatively poor, and students whose parents were professors at OSU. There was a section of the school for deaf and hard of hearing students, and kids were bused in from Fort Hayes Army Base. So it was a diverse, lively, nurturing place. But the picture here is Indianola Junior high, which is off of Fourth Street.

Although I have a personal background serving Special Ed. High School students for a number of…read moreyears, I must admit that the staff I met from the principal to the 3rd grade teachers exemplified what we want to see shaping our youth. By their positive and supportive actions with their students, teachers demonstrated a loving, caring, and nurturing model for individual and groups of students. As an educator, I witnessed teachers who gave of themselves to help build the character and moral fiber of their students. Students responded to the model set for them in that they we're recognized and awarded for "Good Citizenship" (how supportive kind, and encouraging they were to each other on a day-to-day basis). Parental involvement in children's education is encouraged by reading with their child at least 20 mins. a night and providing opportunities for children to continue reading on their own. A child's education in school is stressed as very important to success. Therefore, even if a child only attends school half a day because of a doctor's appointment Etc., it is important that they be in school the other half of that day. I was impressed by the rich learning environment and the positive responsiveness of the children I observed. In keeping with the importance of reading, I was encouraged that they were having a Book Fair while we were there which then carried over into the next day. Needless to say, I added to the support of the school and the children in our home by participating greatly in the Book Fair. I was told that they will provide another Book Fair next February. The school is in need of people who would be willing to volunteer their time and services to help in the Book Fair or just to assist teachers in the classroom.

This elemetary I heard is a good school but the staff at this location(morse rd in columbus ohio)…read moreis very unprofessional. Not only are they not helpful in helping a child become enrolled but will not put in any effort for further assisting you trying to get the child enrolled. They rush you and try to avoid asking any more questions then necessary especially the samolian secretary. She didn't want to call the other school for further information in which I took it upon myself to make the phone call and my child was standing right next to me and not only did she not acknowledge that he was standing there but didn't hesitate to show me her nasty attitude as if she didn't even want to be bothered. To me I was blown off and felt this location presented a vibe of racial discrimination almost as if the lady couldn't stand the sight of us being there. I also called to make a complaint to the director bc this type of treatment made me not even want to talk to anyone else there. The other secretary overheard this and also did not try to intervene. If they treated me poorly and unprofessional I had to think about how they would treat my child. I was very disappointed and hoped for better.
