Our daughter attended a one week session at the Art Smart Program this summer. As she is only five…read moreyears old, our expectations were mostly that she got to do something creative and fun. This program far surpassed our expectations and my daughter absolutely loved her week there. She completed a great number of projects and worked with a number of different mediums. The first day, she drew a portrait of Albert Einstein based on a photo. She worked with charcoal for the first time ever, and learned about using shadow to create depth. Another day she learned about vanishing points and drew an amazing street scene. She worked with clay sculpture, did boutique and tie-dye, made jewelry, learned how to blend and layer colors with watercolor painting, did a Warhol style self portrait, made a dream catcher, and made a doll of Anna from the Frozen movie. The studio extends outdoor also. They have built an outdoor nature studio in the woods where the kids spend some time each day. Here they incorporate natural elements into their creations, and my daughter made a beautiful fairy house out of 'found' elements such as moss, tree bark and small stones. This was all in five days and with all of that, they still found time to have snacks and lunch and to teach the kids some fun board games. The teachers were very good at letting us know how each day went. I think there were a couple of areas that could be improved. One day we forgot to send a bottle of water with my daughter. Our mistake. But it was not realized until after lunch and the meantime, she went thirsty all day. We would have liked the school to be a little more proactive, especially with young kids. The school's web site claims to offer early and late hours. I inquired about this. Donna, the owner, told me she would be there every day at 8am and that we could drop off then at no extra expense, so long as my daughter could do a quiet activity while she did setup. While that was very generous and helpful to us, the reality was that many days the first teacher did not arrive until well after 8am. We would have preferred that they setup some well defined ranges of before/after hours time. We would have gladly paid additionally for an early hour and not had the disruption to our work schedules. Overall though, we were very pleased with the camp, and my daughter is looking forward to attending again in the future!

I took an offsite class offered by Vindauga Glass, so can't really comment on the studio itself. I…read morecan however review the quality of the instruction Deenie offered, and the preparation she put into ensuring that we had everything needed for both a fun experience, and unique glass piece I made by myself. Deenie came to the session shaped with a three page information sheet (including reminders about how sharp cut glass is!), pre-cut and beautifully shaped options in several colors that we could select from for the top and bottom layers of our pieces, about 12 colors of paint, glass "chips" to sprinkle on our pieces and larger shaped bars and bits of glass to use for more explicit forms on our pieces, glue and other needed items. I was most impressed by the care Deenie took to demonstrate a number of steps we could take and styles/materials we could select from to make a piece tht was truly "ours", and by her offer of gloves to protect our hands. She provided us each our own "work stations" and a shared marked space for used spoons, toothpicks, etc to ensure that the fresh and altered glass supply wasn't going to get mixed. Deenie clearly communicated the steps we'd need to finish our pieces at home after she fired them for us, and also how long that process would take and where she'd deliver the finished work. She made sure we all labeled our pieces and stored them safely for transport to her kiln for firing. Class ran about two hours, and at the end all of the 15 or so the participants swarmed the tables to see what each of us had created. This class was so much fun! Deenie is a talented artist - and a talented teacher.

Its a place where your child will be known and celebrated for his abilities. I couldn't recommend this school highly enough. just fyi, I am NOT affiliated with the school. Was never told to write anything. My child graduated a year ago and I miss the school and all the teachers and the intellectual, supportive, warm vibe of the school. If you have a curious kiddo who loves to learn, don't think twice. This is a truly magical place that will be your child's second home until the end of 8th grade.

Snake Oil... These…read more5-star reviews are pretty hilarious to read and were obviously written by people who were told to write them or have no exposure to an ACTUAL private school. We sent our child here for 2 years and were thoroughly disappointed. It's a $40k year public school. Here's a breakdown of the pros and cons: Pros: -slightly more advance curriculum than an ordinary public school but in-line with any other private school Cons: -embarrassingly underfunded, they ask you to bring your own supplies (including disinfecting wipes) at the beginning of the year -location, it's in Foxboro which only makes sense if you live in Foxboro -staff completely lacks diversity -after care programs are a joke, the photography club involved almost exclusively drawing pictures -also, they accept anyone who applies. There are several smart kids at the school but anyone average will make the cut. -the Head of School, simply put, there is something wrong with this woman. She's abrasive and rude to certain parents for no reason at all. The school will better with her gone.
