Prospect Academy is a corner stone of the Russian community in Westchester. My children attended…read morethe pre-school for its entirety, and after they graduated, I decided to keep them there an extra year to give them another 12 months of Russian. Even after that, we continued with Prospect for after-school programs, that my children benefited from tremendously. This school is always coming up with new initiatives - cooking classes, dance classes, outdoor gardens, German or Spanish language programs - it's always fun, new and interesting! We can't say enough about the loving and caring teachers that my children were lucky to be nurtured by. Everyone at Prospect treats us like family. My children have long since graduated, but I keep coming there for the Moms Dance classes every week! The program at the school is full of hands-on education and learning made fun. Going outside in any weather is a must - great way to make our kids resilient and unafraid. The kids have Heritage projects to make, family days, Pancake week, everything you'd like for your kids to learn about your culture. We love Prospect Academy with all our hearts!

I really like some of the non-class options to supplement classes - like the cooking classes. Those are really fun and a great opportunity to refine comprehension and speaking skills.

My son has been taking spanish lessons for the last Month absolutely loves going here and has learned so much in just a few lessons. I can only speak for the spanish teacher and don't know how the others are but from what I experienced so far is they are so patient with the children and I am so thankful we found this little hidden secret. The place is in a little building with a very comforting environment for the children. My son cannot wait to go every week! He was not happy about going when we first signed him up but after the first day he walked out with a big smile and loves learning spanish!!! Definitely recommend this as learning any new language can be difficult and they make it fun and exciting.
