He had been struggling to learn his entire academic career. His self esteem was low. Homework was a 2-4 hour struggle every night. Within a month of his attending Howard, we noticed a dramatic change in his attitude towards his education! His self confidence soared! 4 years later and we are still amazed at the education he is receiving! Warning! The school is far from cheap. Money well spent in my book!

My daughter loves the way the teachers teach and allow you to express your thoughts and approach to life. Yes, Galloway has an open way to accept everyone. I think it's great because some of the other independent schools don't. Minority students have a hard time adjusting to the culture/environment of the school. The administration listen to everyone whether you have money or not. If you are a family that gets involved and take pride in your children education, they listen to your comments and suggestions. Some schools don't listen to anything the parents have to say because it's tradition. "This is the way we always did it speech" comes after you make a suggestion about the school. At Galloway, the community helps shape the educational climate. I love it. The new concepts and theme of our school explains who we are. At Galloway, we do 4d learning which touches four areas which are daring, deliberate, dynamic, and discovery. if you don't want your children to explore learning and not do traditional learning. Galloway is for you!

I went to Galloway from K-12, so this comes from a very long firsthand experience. There are…read moredefinitely positives: it is a kind, supportive environment, the teachers generally care, and the school does a good job making students feel seen as individuals. I understand why a lot of Buckhead families are drawn to it. That said, looking back as an adult, I do not feel like it prepared me especially well for real life. There was a lot of emphasis on "be your best self," which sounds good on paper, but in my experience there was less emphasis on discipline, toughness, accountability, and the kind of academic rigor that actually helps once you leave a protected school environment. It helped get me into Alabama, but I was not especially well prepared once I got there, and that became obvious pretty quickly. Now I work in residential real estate, and while I do fine, it is not exactly the kind of challenging or deeply fulfilling professional path I once thought a school like Galloway was preparing me for. It is a very relationship-driven job with long hours, and if I am being honest, a lot of where I landed had more to do with family connections than with any real edge the school gave me. That is the part I think prospective families should think about. Galloway was good at making students feel comfortable and affirmed. I am less convinced it was good at pushing them hard enough to thrive on their own later.

Woodward Academy Lower School (4-6 grades) is not the place to send your child. The administration…read moreis nice, until you complain about the bullying or a teacher. When you complain Mrs Bragg quickly becomes rude and dismissive. They won't honor simple requests like classroom changes or any other suggestions, regardless of the situation. The counselors shouldn't counsel a trash can, definitely not a child. Mrs Lauchlan is pretty good at accomplishing nothing. Mr Lawrence isn't certified and he has the maturity level of a 6th grader. Bottom line: Look at the test scores compared to other private schools. The kids complain about the lunch. The co-curricular and athletic options are good. Your kid will be bullied. Your kids will receive a public school education with perks. Don't waste your money.

(they tried putting my 5 yr old in time out because she made a elephant noise WHEN making elephants with the rest of the class. ) You are A SCHOOL NOT DAYCARE. 2. My daughter had something in her shoe from playing outside so she tried to stop in line and take it out, the teacher told her "i dont care keep walking" and didnt even check her shoe when they returned - because of this my kid had a huge sore on her foot. 3. My husband and I saw a teacher PULL a KG back in line BY HIS SHIRT because he tried running to his mom (who was a few steps away from him). Who grabs a KG attention like this, by yanking them by the shirt? wouldnt you try to get their attention instead of laying hands on them? 4. My kid asked for extra ketchup and the teacher said "you dont get anymore ketchup, do i look like a ketchup farmer?" and walked away. Now, dont get me wrong, my kid can take jokes because we are that kind of family, but this was intentional BS behavior, especially from teachers! 5. My 5 year old came home crying asking why teachers hate her, pick on her and saying how there are NEVER teachers on the playground to come to when she needed help. So, the teachers arent watching 5 yr olds play on the playground? I voiced my concerns to the "summer school principle" and ALL SHE DID was make up excuses, not even acknowledge my concerns. You are unorganized, unprofessional, and def shouldnt be teachers and being in charge of other peoples kids. What excuses are there for a teacher to pull a 5 yr old BY THEIR SHIRT, and speak to them the way they spoke to my kid? And now i cant transfer my kid out of this district because i "missed the deadline" while my kid was getting bullied by the teachers in this district instead? PATHETIC SCHOOL. RUN AWAY.

My family has nothing but praise for this school. It really does a unique job of fostering confidence and empathy in children. The teacher's respect and love the kids, and guide them in developing that same outlook, resulting in a community where each child gets to be their own unique self. That then allows kids to learn and grow happily. The focus on play and learning-by-doing encourages curiosity and seems effective: the kids here are happy, kind, well rounded, respectful, and prepared when they graduate. The outdoor education program (camping trips starting in 3rd grade) has been a great experience for my kids. As far as outcomes, my one data point is that my TCS grad has done well at Westminster, especially in math, social studies and science. Some nuts and bolts: the school starts in pre-primary ( 3 year olds), goes through 6th grade, is across from Piedmont park in midtown (with a crosswalk to the park), has a good afterschool program with lots of enrichment activities, is transitioning from Everyday Mathematics to Singapore Math, and teaches Spanish as its foreign language.
