    Somerset academy Canyon, Boynton beach…read more This has been one of the most disappointing school experiences for our family. While the school presents itself very well on the outside, the reality has been very different. It often feels like the focus is more on collecting money than truly supporting the students and providing quality leadership. The principal's leadership has been very concerning. There have been multiple instances where his communication with students has come across as disrespectful and inappropriate. There have also been interactions and behaviors that raised serious concerns for our family about fairness and how certain students may be treated, which should never be something parents have to worry about in a school environment. The football program has also been extremely disappointing. Families pay over $200, expecting proper coaching and development, but the junior varsity team appears to be set up for failure, with little accountability from the coaching staff and too much blame placed on the players. There are only a handful of coaches who seem genuinely committed and capable, and sadly two of the strongest coaches recently left the school ( which are brothers) coach Jhenco great coach. Before enrolling your child here, I strongly encourage parents to do thorough research, ask detailed questions, and speak with current and former families. The school may paint a beautiful picture, but our experience has shown that appearances can be very misleading.

    I am beyond disappointed with how this school handled a situation involving my daughter. Her phone…read morewas taken during finals week, even after she explained multiple times that it was her ONLY way to get home. Since students were not allowed to bring backpacks during finals, she had no other belongings with her, and her bus pass/payment is on her phone. When the phone was first taken, my daughter calmly explained to the teacher that she needed it at the end of the day because I was unable to pick her up from school. The teacher originally told her she could get it back later. However, another staff member made an extremely insensitive comment saying, "If you really cared about your phone, you would've put it away." That response completely ignored the actual issue. This was not about "caring about a phone," it was about a child trying to safely get home. My daughter then went to the dean to explain the situation again. Instead of helping, he told her it "wasn't his problem" and that the phone was marked for parent pickup. She tried calling me and her father from the office, but unfortunately we were both at work and unable to answer at that moment. We had no idea what was happening until she came home and explained everything. After trying to contact us, she went back to the teacher to once again explain that she literally had no way to pay for the bus without her phone. Instead of listening, the teacher accused her of "arguing in the middle of class," which was not true according to my daughter. Then, when my daughter explained again that she couldn't just "go home" without access to her bus payment, the teacher yelled, "Then go home." At that point, my daughter became frustrated and admittedly cursed out of anger and panic. While I do not excuse disrespect, I absolutely understand why she felt helpless after being ignored repeatedly by multiple adults who were supposed to care about student safety and well-being. Instead of trying to de-escalate the situation or help her find a safe way home, the school chose to suspend her. The complete lack of empathy, communication, and concern shown by staff was honestly disgusting. No child should be told that getting home safely "isn't their problem." This situation could have been handled in a much more reasonable and compassionate way.

    Our experience with the Cambridge School of Wellington was extremely disappointing. After a…read moreterrible half a year in the 3s program, our child developed significant anxiety and distress in what multiple professionals and third-party behavioral specialists described as a cold classroom environment and teaching approach. Despite requesting outside evaluations at the school's suggestion and multiple professionals stating there were no concerns other than the environment and the teacher, the schools concerns remained, and after voicing them to administration we were told unfortunately there was nothing they can do. We were repeatedly asked to pick up early for typical preschool behaviors such as tantrums or not napping, despite paying for full-day care until 530 pm. We ultimately felt the classroom lacked the warmth, support, and developmental understanding young children need, and hope the school reviews staffing, training, and support so other families do not have a similar experience. Truly a terrible experience for any child that is energetic or needs a bit of extra support. The owners should really evaluate what criteria is necessary for a teacher other than just credentials.

    I absolutely love this preschool and everything about it! My two boys attend this school (three's…read moreand toddlers) and they love it! They are happy at drop off and don't want to go home when we pick them up. All the teachers and front desk staff greet my boys by name every morning and every afternoon. And they greet everyone by name! Every day that we come home I am so amazed at how much both of my boys are learning. My three year old is always so excited to tell me what he has learned and anything new they have done in their room. Today was the first annual Halloween Trunk or Treat and it was so fun! I had a blast meeting and working with other families in my boy's classrooms. The event was so fun and very organized and every teacher was excited and having a great time with their students. A huge shout out to Sara for running a great event and making it look effortless! I would recommend this school to everyone!

    Kentwood has been a lifesaver & constant source of support for my family over the past 6&1/2 years…read more My child started there in 5th grade & is now in 11th. We placed S there after trying for 2+ years to get S help thru the public school system. We adopted S after S was placed in foster care at 9 mos old. S endured heavy drug use by S's bio mom while pregnant & lack of care the first 9 mos of life. S has severe ADHD, ODD, & is on the spectrum (very high functioning) with severe short term memory deficits & math LD. Behavior due to severe frustration over inability to grasp things was getting worse & worse despite twice weekly counseling at school & in our home, tutoring & a begrudgingly granted 504 Plan that did nothing for S. When S started in 5th grade, S was extremely defiant & wouldn't work or follow the rules. S was turning our home into a war zone w/constant tantrums & fighting. Kentwood uses a VERY strict behavioral intervention chart (BIC) that they mark every 1/2 hour or hour for every student. If the kids are acting out so much that it disturbs the other students, they are moved to a special skills lab w/staff trained to work with these situations so they can return to the classroom. The teachers are just AMAZING & incredibly calm & well trained. They communicate with parents regularly & fully -- both good & bad. So nice to get emails or texts telling me of something helpful or smart my kid did vs. always getting those terrible calls about a problem. S is very verbal & social & likes to read. Comprehension is not great, but there's a lot of effort & interest. Math is a whole other story -- ugly, bad, tantrum causing. Instead of pushing S forward into areas S would never understand, they work w/S to get S fully understanding the areas missed & then move forward at S's own pace & ability. I've had to adjust my expectations & realize/accept that S will never fully get some of the math areas or be very academic. And that's OK. The staff has worked extensively w/S & classmates on social skills, life skills like budgeting & saving & price checking, etc. They talk a lot about learning to watch for others' reactions & social cues & they practice it. Conflict resolution too. How to handle frustrations & advocate for yourself. I'm amazed at how much S has grown emotionally over the years. S has been nurtured by so many different teachers & staff over the years & thru multiple grades. They have been there for me to turn to re: behavioral issues at home & always offer good ideas & practical, hands-on help at school so we're working in tandem to help S. S LOVES S's teachers, & has made incredibly good friends there as well. The classes are very small & personalized to what the individual kids need. The small environment, mask wearing, cleaning & distancing has made me comfortable allowing S to go back to school in person. I highly recommend this school if your child has a special academic/behavioral needs that just can't/won't be met in the public school setting.

    The principal and his staff are maybe the worst teaching institution in Palm Beach County. They do…read morenot comply with the American disabilities act. There is no communication between parents and teachers. Their teaching styles do not work. All I can say is if your child is special needs this is not the place to take them. Again, the principal is a joke. They will not help your child in any manner stay away. Stay away stay away. All they want. Is your money you after year after year

My son came from an at home daycare and was learning to adjust to this new school environment and the teachers lacked compassion, or even the decency to try and help my son adjust. Instead, they decided to say we should take my son elsewhere to adjust and then we could bring him back when he's adjusted to the school environment. And let me tell you, that will never happen. For the amount we paid, the least they could do was show compassion to the new student who is new to the school environment. But instead, they said "the teachers don't have time to help just one child". Never once was there violence, or bad behavior towards other children but my child was asked to leave because he did not adjust as fast as they wanted. So again, if your child is not perfect, I do not recommend this daycare.

Everyday I drop off and pick up they greet him by his name. His teachers are beyond amazing!! Even with his advancement in classes his previous teachers still check on him Mrs. Eva. His current teachers are Mrs. Maria, Ana, and Sara and I am so thankful for them. My son loves Mrs. Maria so much every morning he runs to his class and runs to give Mrs. Maria a hung, and his eyes light up when he sees her. I have to also give credit to Miss. Sue the cook. She is always happy and smiling and my son gets so excited when he sees her! Thank you to all the amazing staff even the ones I wasn't able to mention for everything you do for all the kids!!!
