He gives very concrete strategies and really understands the SAT mindset, particularly the verbal side. Highly recommend Ryan and his team.

The Phoenix School was life-changing for my son. He had really struggled at his old school, and had…read morebegun to internalize negative messages about himself. But once he started at the Phoenix School, things turned around. He came home after the first day and said, "It's like the teachers aren't even teachers--they're just people!" The caring relationship with his teachers, the community at the school, the way his teachers push him to do more than he thought he could and support him as he learns to push himself has been amazing. He loves school now and is thriving academically, socially, and emotionally. The way they integrate learning across all their activities is special. Students learn all the academic skills throughout all their activities, along with specialized practice in, say, math or writing, especially as they get older. They also use the community at large as their classroom with frequent out-of-the-classroom learning experiences that engage students far more than anything I've seen at any other school. Teachers support students as they produce high-quality work, with autonomy and ownership over their own learning. Teachers are among the most dedicated professional educators I've ever met. They work hard to create a community of students, faculty, staff, parents, and community members dedicated to the well-being and education of students as complete people. It's not possible for me to say enough good things about this school.

After hearing nothing but praise about this establishment, I was beyond disappointed with my…read moreexperience of trying to get BASIC information from their staff. Run-a-muck was highly recommended to us as the "best in Salem/Danvers", and was 1 of 2 preschools recommended by my PEDIATRICIANS office for my son. However, after contacting through their website, them via email, it was like pulling teeth to get any information. I still have no clue how much it would cost - and I asked about tuition 3 times! Finally, I requested that Valerie (the lady in Salem that was not giving me any information besides that they had a wait list, and only accept full days/weeks students) to give me the name, address, and phone number of someone in Danvers. I was given a name (Gretchen), and a phone number that was disconnected. She also stated that she forwarded my emails to her. When Gretchen emailed me, it was basically the same information - Please let me know what questions you have....yet nothing had been answered. In her defense, I didn't bother to respond. I'd already made up my mind, thanks to Valerie and her lack of information. Needles to say, this has left a very poor impression on me. I don't want to seems my child to a place that can't even figure out how to give information out to inquiring parents. If you are looking for someplace that refuses to answer questions, this is your place. I'd you want to know the ins and outs, and *gasp* talk to a real person...keep looking.

My son has been at Run A Muck since he was three (he is now five), and we have nothing but…read morewonderful things to say. He has never been bit, hit, pushed, shoved or hurt in any other way except for accidents on the play ground, such as a skinned knee. Even when this happened, the school called me right away to let me know and I was given an incident report when I picked him up. But kids will be kids, so I expect him to get hurt, I did when I was a kid! The staff are very attentive, friendly, helpful and great teachers. My son can now count to ten in three languages (four if you include English) and he tells us amazing facts that he learns at school. I highly recommend Run A Muck!

RSM Winchester has been an extraordinary part of my children's academic journey for many years, and…read moreI am forever grateful for the impact it has had. So much so that I even enjoyed driving them from Lowell to Winchester for years. In an education system where standards often feel diluted, RSM at Winchester location stands out as a brand that consistently delivers excellence. Their approach is structured and yet incredibly engaging--making math not only challenging but fun. One of the things I admire most is how thoughtfully teachers are vetter at RSM Winchester and how teachers are aligned with age groups their skills and personality would best be suitable. I also saw the quality in the whole setup. Each topic is offered at three levels of difficulty, allowing students to start where they feel comfortable and progress at their own pace without feeling discouraged. This flexibility ensures that every child can build confidence while being challenged appropriately. My son benefited immensely from this system--he advanced two years beyond his school math level and is now taking AP Calculus in 11th grade. The teachers--Barry, Maximo, Liliya, Olga, and many others--were exceptional. There was a sense of deep expertise combined with nurturing approach. Such an environment taught my son to love learning, to think critically. RSM doesn't just teach math; it builds resilience, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong appreciation for intellectual growth. If you want your child to thrive in math and develop skills that will serve them for life, RSM Winchester is the place to be. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I recommend contact St Mary's- send your child to shadow a student for the day - and make a choice with facts in hand. St. Mary's might not be for everyone- but in our car we couldn't be happier with a school. Side note - another one of our kids does attend that top school I mentioned in note.
