They offer all the activities that public schools have left behind like homework, science fairs and spelling bees. They also have Chapel time once a month. We believe 5 Stars is an understatement and we have a high bar! Thank you to the incredible people who run this school!

We Love Sylvan and the wonderful people who work and teach there!…read moreOur son was two years behind his classmates, for reasons that were not his fault. Trying to figure out how to get him caught up, so he could graduate on time, was easy once we discovered Sylvan Learning of Sylvan. We would recommend Sylvan to anyone who wants their student to either get caught up, or to go far ahead of the norm. They're great at both. Thank you, Sylvan Staff for everything that you've done for our son. We really appreciate your service.

Oak Harbor Intermediate School has a lovely field open to the public during non-school hours. The…read morefield is grass and has a gravel walking/running path/track around it. The shape of the path is not exactly an oval, more curved rectangular in shape. There are also a few areas open for play/that contain different exercise equipment. I would guess these are used in physical education (P.E.) classes as part of the school's offerings and potentially are available for use in home-schooling physical education curriculums based in the area. In my experience coming here, I have yet to find the field and track in heavy usage on a given visit. Personally, I like less traffic when walking/running a path/track. So, in that sense this is a perfect place to come early in the morning and get some distance in.

I'm an ASC Nurse Manager for a busy surgery center in Seattle WA. To fulfill the yearly mock code…read moretraining, we decided to bring an outside company into our facility to evaluate our plan and give us feedback. I was able to find Mark by word of mouth from another ASC Nurse Manager, who had nothing but positive things to say about him. Hands down, Mark was amazing! He ran through some scenarios with us; realistic to our patient selection, and we utilized different areas of our facility (OR, PACU, waiting room). Key points: 1. Mark is professional, confident and an expert in his profession. 2. He always brought us back to the basics when we deviated off course. 3. He stressed the importance of utilizing everyone at the office. From the front office staff calling 911, rotating CPR, scribing; to the trained ACLS staff doing the medications and assisting with anesthesia. 4. One of the best parts of the class...he provided an atmosphere for staff to ask questions and really engage in the learning opportunity without fear of "not knowing the answer" or looking bad in front of other coworkers. Everyone, including the MD's felt this education opportunity was worthwhile and we will definitely have him back next year. Thanks Mark!

Defensive Driving is a chain throughout the Skagit area, and it has some pros/cons…read more A positive is that the instructors are engaging, especially online, which is very helpful for a digital class. However, a con is that they often cut observed drives short, and ask the students if they want to end early. I wish they wouldn't ask a teenager if he/she wants to end early - because the teenager invariably wants to go home and do nothing. Defensive Driving needs to provide the hour of observation/instruction that I'm paying for. A pro is that the instructors provide good feedback and lend confidence to the learners. However, a HUGE con is that they never have drive times available afterschool or on the weekend. They only put one month up at a time on the schedule agent, so if you don't get any dates that month, you can't even go forward to the next month to schedule. I refuse to let my son to skip school to do observed drives. Perhaps they need to hire more trained observers. Another positive is how easy it is to take both the written and practical driving tests with Defensive Driving. It really is seemless. But, another negative is that the instructor has the students use his own personal car for the exam (maybe he gets a tax write-off), instead of the cars they have been practicing in and are used to. Unfortunately, there is odd rubber-band placed on the brake pedal, which really distracted my son who has sensory issues. He failed his first driving exam because the rubberband on the brake pedal was a huge distraction.

The owner or manager at this Stanwood location is AMAZING. We had the opportunity for my sons high…read moreschool or this drivers Ed company which happens to be within walking distance of the high school. It's a tad more expensive but worth every penny as I've heard nothing but amazing things about how this school operates. I also get the pleasure to watch these adorable teens parallel park in front of my house quite often. I stopped in the other day to sign my son up in which they do sign ups on online. I stopped by and the owner/manager was so helpful, so positive, such a great guy. Works well with kids with learning disabilities he mentioned also. Who teaches my son how to drive legally is so important to me. My son (all kids) are my world and teaching styles can be so different. I immediately knew not only the first time but the second time I was able to talk to him that this hands-down was the place to go. It's worth the extra 40 or $50 trust me. And there flexible so many different options like weekend versus weekdays. Also currently still doing online classes also however I am choosing in person as it will fit my son better. and it's next-door to the YMCA in which he's always at. When it comes to your kids safety it's priceless not to mention the experience, even the memories that he will gain are important. I feel this will be more tailored to his needs but most of all MY BIGGEST PET PEVE is when adults/teachers don't treat kids with the same respect as they do parents for instance that they will be treated I'm sure with the same respect as the parents are. I would highly recommend this location in Stanwood. My daughter went through the high school drivers Ed 10 years ago they did a good job but usually it's teachers teaching at the HS and you don't know what one probably where is I know my son Maddox will be able to succeed and have a better learning experience under this facility and educator. Meeting him twice GREAT GUY WHO YOU CAN TELL CARES but also enjoys what he does huge bonus versus some teachers at the school I'm sure could get a little cranky if there with high school students all day (I get it lol ) and then teaching them to drive after UGG. Bless them. Oh and their cars are very nice new and clean. Thanks Defensive Driving School. We will see you soon. The yellow truck is no longer in front of my home but we have a grey Kia out in front you can parallel park next to anytime.

I was minused points for not putting the hand brake on when parallel parking, and for when trying to parallel park, I didn't back into the space. HE SAID I WASN'T ALLOWED TO DRIVE FORWARD INTO THE SPACE! ANkD MINUSED POINTS FOR IT. TLDR; Instructor ass and deducted points for the smallest of things.
