As a graduated senior of previously going to the school for 6 years, I can guarantee you that this…read moreschool has a very strong elementary school foundation. But do NOT send your kids here for middle school and high school. Thales has extremely poor curriculums, space, and funding for the JH/HS. Specifically on the Cary campus. While I spent my time at Thales each year there would be a significant amount of staff leaving the school. Every year almost all of the teachers would be new. The reason why is because the school is in so much debt that they are making budgets cuts to teacher salary. While also using a building that is so small for the students. For reference, there are not many kids at the school at all. There is 10 freshmen, 5 juniors, 6 seniors, 13 sophomores. But yet the hallways are always crammed with such a small amount of kids because the buildings they chose to have were not mean't to have a school in. My senior year, there wasn't enough staff due to them all leaving, so me and my friends were eating lunch on gym bleachers everyday, since there is no cafeteria, and there wasn't enough teachers to have us eat in one of there classrooms. Thales academy is a 7,000 dollar a year school, but you could get a much better experience at any other public school. DO NOT send your kids here, look for a different private or charter school as an alternative. This school is atrocious.

We like the small classroom size and the personal touch the teachers are able to give. For being such a small school, they offer a good selection of athletics for both boys and girls from middle through high school

The middle school is great but the high school is interesting at best, My cousin goes there and…read moretells us about how lunch is only about 15-20 minutes. are they supposed to shove their food down all quick and have no time to socialize with friends? there's no cafeteria and the lunch is short as hell! There's no good class options or elective options and there's not even enough core classes for everyone there to take and they have to double it one year. The school is also a bit small, for being open for 20+ years you'd think they'd upgrade to a larger building considering there's classes with 30-40 people. This is a realistic review for parents planning to enroll their children here, if anything take them to a public school.

Our daughter has been going to the school since turning one this past July 2021; I was amazed to…read moresee her progress in just one week! Since that time, we have watched her blossom and grow and look forward to her continued success with the Goddard School. I love the monthly newsletters, spirit week, summertime activities. The attention to detail is key and I'm glad to be apart of the Goddard Community. The teachers and staff are very caring, nurturing and supportive. It's always bitter sweet when we have to move up to the next class because we've built great relationships with each teacher.

I'm giving 3 stars solely for the friendliness of the staff. My son was only enrolled for a month,…read morebut during this month I did have a few gripes regarding care. A full pack of wipes would "disappear" and I'd have to bring in way more than I used at home. Yet somehow he would still come home with a dirty butt and bad diaper rash because of not being cleaned properly at least once a week (he had never gotten diaper rash before going to Goddard and hasn't had it since he left the school). One of the teachers would also try to get me to bring in more bottles claiming my son was hungry (keep in mind he was only 5 months old at the time and I was already providing five 7oz bottles, which is one more bottle than he usually drank at home). I brought in one more thinking he was maybe just going through a growth spurt, but found he was just being overfed and would go through 5 outfits a day due to spit up because of this. Apparently every time he would make a little fuss a bottle would be stuck in his mouth regardless of whether he was hungry or not. Teachers were not on the same page with the children. One of his teachers was excellent and knew he didn't need to be overfed to quit fussing. He just needed a little attention or to be moved to a new "station". In order for care to be consistent, teachers need to be in the same page with feedings, etc. Lastly, I know Goddard claims they have a 4:1 ratio for infants to teachers, but this is definitely not the case. Almost every morning when I would drop my son off there would be around 6-8 infants with one teacher, who was scrambling to get them all fed and changed. Another teacher would come in later during the morning to help, but there should be at least 2 teachers in the room at all times with that many infants. One person can't do it all. With all that being said, the teachers and all the staff were extremely nice, my son did like them a lot, and I felt he was overall very safe in their care. However, when he goes back into daycare I will be looking elsewhere. Maybe it would have been a completely different experience if he was a little older and not an infant.
