My son attended the Dangerous camp and the Music Appreciation camp last summer. We were blown away…read moreby how much fun he had at Dangerous Camp -- the floor of the gym was covered in nerf bullets and the kids were decked out in safety glasses, the leaders seemed intelligent and fun, nobody behaved like sore losers when they lost competitions, they made everything really enjoyable... great experience. The music camp was super small but they accomplished a lot and my son, the youngest in the group-- still had a really positive experience. I was actually surprised because it's hard to make a tiny music camp fun when you don't know what instruments you're getting and what skill levels-- but they did a fabulous job. We kept in touch with a few of the students and they were great. We went to the open house for the school this year and looooved the headmaster's speech. It seems like a private school that actually sticks by their beliefs and doesn't only cater to rich parents. I was left with the impression that they have great integrity, and the people there were respectful, polite, and fun.

Former student here, so I can give a better perspective than some of the kiss ass parents on here…read more I gave it two stars to be generous, as there are some good things to ND overall but the bad outweighs the good here. Pros: -Classes are great and teachers want to help you. -After school stuff is well funded and well organized. -The sports events are fun to go to and the team plays well. -There's some elements of cameraderie (I'll focus on it later) -Food is fantastic. Cons: -Students can be right-leaning, some even bordering white nationalism (students have used pro-Confederate quotes on Instagram, and publicly have used racial slurs along with positive feelings toward bringing back slavery). -Homogenous school setting (almost everyone is a middle class, white, Republican prep kid that likes some sport. No one is really diverse or unique). -Lack of IEP/Special Ed programs. -The administration, while friendly, tends to favor the vox populi rather than the people getting bullied. You can see that my only problems with this school is the kids and the lack of IEP programs. Everything else about is good. If you want a good Catholic school for your child, I'd recommend it if they can keep to themselves politically. Otherwise, if they're Left of Centre all I can say is get the popcorn ready.

I brought my daughter here for about a year. In this time she was abused by other classmates. She…read morewould come home with nail puncture marks and bruises. It took multiple children over the course of many months being injured by this student for the teachers to finally take necessary action. They also say they are Montessori, but are absolutely NOTHING of the sort. They have one teacher who is Montessori trained your child will rarely interact with her. The teachers your child does interact are classically trained. They allow them to watch movies often and regularly utilize iPads for activities which is entirely against standard Montessori practices. Don't waste your money on this school.

We moved out of state in May of this year. There were two things that kept me up at night prior to…read moremoving - leaving my family and Children's Learning World. I can honestly say I cried more on my kids' last day of school here than I did when saying goodbye to my own family. My husband put it best when he said that there are good schools and there are ones that are truly special. Children's Learning World falls into the second bucket. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the newer schools but to us, that's not what we find important. Our children were well-educated and loved by all their teachers. We visit every time we're back in town and to this day my daughter talks about her friends and teachers from CLW. I would like to again refute things stated by the previous poster because everything we experienced was the polar opposite, & it bothers me to see such a clearly one-sided and inaccurate review. The school wasn't a fit for them & that's perfectly ok. But to accuse the school of "close to torture" and to blame the other child when their son bit him/her shows that there's much more to the story that's intentionally being left out. Writing up a child for biting is a requirement as regulated by the state because first-aid (even something as simple as ice) was administered. They were just following procedure as well as properly informing the other parent of harm done to their child.

I am currently here because my juniors have a retreat and I also have been here for Virtus training…read moreand I think this is a great parish. Although this isn't my normal parish, I really like this beautiful place. The workers are all very nice and the speaker that we have here today is great. His name is John Donahue-Grossman and he is known for his portrayal of a homeless man. He is very good at what he does and he teaches students to not solely judge people based on appearance. Ironically, I didn't know he was the speaker today and before the retreat, I had my students read from his book "Ray". This doesn't necessarily have to do with the church because our school invited him to speak and to run the retreat, but regardless, we have all had a very positive experience.

Maine South, my alma mater...where to start…read more.. Overall, I had a good time. I made my friends, and we hung out the four years. Drama with BOYZ and GIRLZ of course, but that is standard. I really liked the art department, and my hours there are some of the most pleasant from my teenage years. I agree with Dea A. that they could do more to accommodate the students who have plans that deviate even ever so slightly from the norm. My gripe is with the accelerated vs. regular track science classes. I hope this has changed since. In order to take an AP bio, chem or physics class, you must have 1 full year of bio, chem and physics. The accelerated science track conveniently offers accelerated classes in each of these subjects for a full year each. In the regular track, you take one full year of bio, then in your sophomore year, you take one half year of physics and one half year of physics. Then in your junior year, you take one full year of physics or chem. As you can see, if you're in the regular track, you end up with one year of bio, and then 1.5 years of chem (in my case) and .5 years of physics. Having consistently maintained a kick ass grade in chemistry in both my classes, I wanted to take AP chem, and all my chem teachers gave their approval. I was refused. Why? Because I didn't have that extra half year of physics. I was told that I could take a year of physics at a local community college (at my expense of course) to be allowed to take AP chem. Or you know, I could take geology with all the other regular track seniors. Thanks, but no thanks. They were just too lazy to actually help a bright student pursue their chemistry dreams...So that pissed me off, as you can see from this long review. Screw it all, I'm in law school now bitches! The dances were alright.
