It has duck ponds with fountains and walkways throughout the campus. At the time, I had never seen a high school quite like that. Today, there are some others with similar designs, but mostly it is still cutting edge for high school layouts. Most recently I was here for a fund raiser holiday bazaar they hold every year. The campus is still as beautiful as it ever was!

The hardest part of being an educator is to teach a lesson in 55 mins to a group of 25-30 students, review their homework, monitor each student's individual progress, spend some quality time working with each of them to make sure they understand the material, come up with different strategies to reteach, monitor instruction to meet each student's individual need (i.e. special education, 504, OHI, ESL, etc.) and have time to get students prepared for their State of Texas Annual STAAR Assessments and/or EOCs (End of Course) Exams. What I love about teaching here, is that I have the freedom to teach. I can go back and reteach or come up with another assessment. I can get to know my students with no more than 8 students per class. We typically do not assign homework, so I am working side by side with students while they do the work. I don't have to worry about the State Assessments because they do not apply to the Einstein School. Last school year (2013-2014) in their 3rd year of operation, 18 Seniors Graduated and ALL 18 WERE ACCEPTED INTO COLLEGE. This school year (2015-2016) is our 5th year in operation and we are now around 100 students and growing. About 5 new students start this week (Jan 5-8). One of our Seniors this school year was accepted into Auburn University last month! If you have a child that just feels like they "don't fit in" or are "lost in the crowd of 30 students in a class" or "feel like their teachers don't help them or care", then visit our school. You can even attend classes for a day or so and just try it out without any pressure. If I was ever going to design my own school, it would be something like the Einstein School. Kids do learn in different styles. Not everyone learns the same way. We have to change the way we teach. JohnK Wright, V M.S.

This school is a huge disappointment, and I cannot recommend it. The classes are way bigger than…read morewas advertised. The classrooms are all very small compared to how many kids are in them. The teachers mostly all seem very good at their job but end up having to slow the course down for the lowest level students. Classes get taken over by kids with behavior problems who get sent to the office and then come back to class five minutes later to do the same thing again. These kids just enjoy derailing the class and going to the office EVERY DAY. The teachers eventually just stop sending problem kids because its pointless. It ends up that a lot of classes are just run by the loudest kids who won't stop talking despite being sent to the office over and over. I feel bad for the teachers here. It's also a pretty open secret that kids can basically not do any work throughout the semester and even skip school without consequences. They will just be passed at the end of the year. I get they are trying to create a "nice" environment, but really its just an school without rules or real education. Your student will only be frustrated by the lack of real learning and the many kids who hate work and learning. Not only that, when they do graduate, they will be completely unprepared for college. I do not recommend the Einstein School, no matter lies they give you up front.

I have a complaint about a teacher named Ann Loeffler. She…read moreonce called a Black girl ugly after the girl expressed that she felt uncomfortable with a male teacher commenting on how "beautiful" she was. I don't care if someone tries to frame that as a compliment -- he had no business saying that to an underage student. Instead of listening to the student's discomfort, this teacher seemed intent on putting her down, which is disturbing and inappropriate behavior from a grown adult. She also warned the girl to "be careful what you say," implying the male teacher could get in trouble. That response felt more focused on protecting him than respecting a student's boundaries. I also had negative experiences with her personally. She once berated me in class for refusing to participate in games she was running that had nothing to do with the Spanish course material. The reaction felt unnecessarily harsh and condescending. Moments like that show a lot about a person's character -- especially how they respond when a student simply says no. I also noticed that she was often particularly rude and dismissive toward Black female students. Overall, she came across as extremely condescending and at times racially insensitive. The dynamic often felt like she enjoyed having authority over students rather than genuinely supporting them. That kind of environment makes it hard to feel respected or safe in a classroom. For these reasons, she stands out as one of the worst teachers I've personally had.

In the next few years were vastly different, however. in middle schools he kids dont have a filter. they'll start to insult you more. and more. going from small things to your deep insecurities. then they'll say a dumb insult, then they'll pull those secrets out in front of everyone and ridicule you for doing things like that. Then others would jump on that bandwagon and insult you for it, so it doesn't happen to them. it's like psychological bullying, but they're inherently doing it to themselves. i graduated eventually, as we all do, and it felt like taking a breath of fresh air. it was suffocating, you had to walk on eggshells to make sure you don't get publicly humiliated. it destroyed my self-esteem, trust, etc. It was and still is a genuinely horrible experience and something i would never wish upon anybody. it wasn't like the teachers were much better here anyway. the punishment system was so incredibly flawed that i feel like my left nut could do a better job. More times than not, the students who have spent more money on this school would be let off scott free, while relatively small issues would be blown out of proportion. not to mention the blatant favoritism within the school. They often swept things under the rug, and would shrug off serious claims (potential racists, nazis, etc). They could see a kid be ridiculed infront of them, and i wouldn't be surprised if they joined in. During the time I attended there, the state of the kitchen was somewhat satisfactory. The food and drinks was often raw or expired, and on good days, stale. Obviously, these are all my own experiences, and your child's own can vary vastly than mine. this is in no way to defame or tarnish the schools reputation in a vast way. i must admit that i have had some amazing experiences that i would not trade for the world, and maybe this is a recurring theme in all middle schools, but nonetheless, i advise you to avoid this school if possible. most stmcs alumni would tell you the same.

The Christian day school assists the church in fulfilling the five functions of a Christian congregation: education, worship, evangelism, fellowship, and service. Classical education is an intense course of learning that seeks to endow students with the ability to master any subject. Through an integrated and focused curriculum, this method supplies children with the tools necessary for higher academic achievement. One of the primary emphases of classical education is the development of language. Studies in phonics, Latin, and English grammar are critical to establishing the child's vocabulary and reading skills. Language is the medium whereby thought is transmitted. By perfecting language proficiency, this course of study increases the child's capacity to comprehend new material. Classical education, however, does not limit its focus to language. On the contrary, the curriculum is both diverse and comprehensive. Our approach is practical but also historical.

Do you like being discriminated against based on how you act and dress? Fear not this place will do that to you!
