    I'm writing this to share an honest experience for other families who may not fully understand how…read moreprivate school policies can impact them during difficult times. My children attended this school and were happy there. It was the only school they had known, and they had built relationships, routines, and a sense of stability within that environment. When our family experienced financial hardship due to job loss, we were no longer able to meet the tuition requirements. As a result, our children were asked to leave. I understand that private schools operate as businesses and rely on tuition. However, what was difficult was the lack of flexibility, support, or transition planning for the children. The process felt abrupt, and there was little acknowledgment of the emotional impact on them. For young children, being removed from their school environment is not just a logistical change, it's a significant emotional disruption. That part did not seem to be considered in how the situation was handled. I'm sharing this so other parents are aware: If your financial situation changes, there may be limited options, and the outcome can be immediate. If you are considering this school, I would encourage you to ask detailed questions about: -financial aid policies during unexpected hardship -transition support if a family can no longer afford tuition -how the school supports children emotionally in those situations The education itself may be strong, but families should understand the full picture before committing.

    We have been a Chapin family for eleven years…read more My older daughter had attended Chapin since pre-k and graduated last year. She was more than ready to take on the challenges of secondary school. Her freshman year was an academic success! Throughout her years at Chapin, she has grown to be an independent, well-rounded individual. She's not afraid to email teachers about assignments, ask questions when she is uncertain about something discussed during class, or voice her opinion about anything. We owe those positive attributes to Chapin. My younger daughter has also attended Chapin since pre-k. She continues to amaze us with how much she's learned in just a short amount of time. We owe that to the excellent Chapin teachers who not only educate their students but also care about their growth and development. My husband and I are excited for my little one to experience all that Chapin has to offer in the coming years. Chapin is an extraordinary school. The decision to send our children here is one of the best decisions that my husband and I have ever made.

    Princeton Friends School is a community of learners who work together to create an environment…read morewhere individuals feel supported, welcome, and included, where adults often learn from the students, and all feel engaged in the learning process. As a small school, every member of the community gets to know one another, and mixed-age groupings for events and some classes are the norm. Social and emotional well-being is something the staff take seriously and constantly review and address. PFS believes in the importance of outdoor learning, and often students can be found studying microbiology in a local stream, finding writing inspiration among the trees, and gaining confidence in themselves when working in the garden or exploring the woods. Teachers respect the authenticity and agency of each student, and encourage and empower them accordingly. I have worked at PFS for four years as a teacher and within the administrative team, and my sense is that the teachers who choose to be here do so because they truly care about the other members of the community, and enjoy the daily challenge of helping one another be our best selves. We seek to discover and nurture the joy in learning and in contributing to a community of folks who care for one another. Diverse learners are welcome at PFS and teachers and staff work hard to 'meet them where they are' while encouraging growth and student ownership of their learning. Students who need extra support at PFS are evaluated, and given accommodations in class and supported by a student study team. Families are encouraged to be active partners in the students' learning, and are welcomed regularly on campus for events. Teachers are in regular communication with families through student advisory teams, and there are many opportunities to connect through the Family Association.

    My daughters attend/ attended this school. Simply the best!read more

The administration handles everything just beautifully. This year we had a bomb scare and our principal remained very calm and with the cooperation of everyone we were all safe. Don't get me wrong their are numerous minor issues with the school. To start the lockers are terrible they have more issues than a magazine! The hall ways are extremly narrow for the amount of slow moving beastly specimens that have to pass through them and at times it feels like u have to waddle like a penguin just to get through center hall. The biggest problem with this school is getting is getting to this school. The town is not made for the amount of traffic in the morning and the crossing guards don't seem to do much to improve the situation. Every day the traffic night mare called Allentown forces tons of students to be tardy. Lets say u are late by 2 minutes because of this traffic abomination you will be at least 20 minutes lye after u wait on a line at the attendance office and then walk back to class. It seems like they could improve the protocol for when u are only a few minutes late. In conclusion despite its minor issues it is a great school and I wouldn't want to go any where else. Come to Allentown high school where there is a little heaven in every hall

    You want a school that gets the job done? You want a school that's hassle free? You want a school…read morethat literally no one will ever compliment you on graduating from? Well look no further. West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North. Let's talk about features. Substitute teachers: nope Indoor climate control: nope A competitively viable athletics team: nope A variety of food options: nope... but it's got hot lunch if you don't want to starve in the middle of the day. Let me tell you a story. One day, the school had a water leak. No one cared. It went away. You could wake up on the hottest day of June, speed up global warming, drive to school, turn the mainframe thermostat to 100 celsius, insulate every room, go to the school website, and this place would call a snow day for it being "a bit too chilly." This school will outlive you, it will outlive your children. Things this school is old enough to do: Vote: yes Drive: yes Go to high school: it IS a high school This school's got history. It's seen some stuff. People have done weird things in this school. People have done normal things in this school. It's not going to judge you like how Princeton Day would. Interesting facts: Parts of this school's exterior color is gray, but some of the inside walls are grey. In the program of studies, four full years of attendance are listed as "optional." When this school was unveiled at the office of the superintendent, it caused all 40 attendees to spontaneously yawn. The resulting abrupt change in air pressure inside the building caused a partial collapse of the roof. There were no injuries, but some debris hit the superintendent's mouse, causing him to inadvertently order a bouncy castle for his eleven-year-old daughter's birthday party from Amazon Prime. This event is chronicled in the documentary "Air Pressure: The Story of West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North and the Inflatable Bounce House." You wanna know more? Great. I had my school fill out a Facebook survey. Favorite food: unsalted fries Favorite tv show: Riverdale Favorite rapper: Beethoven This school is as practical as a Roth IRA. It's as middle-of-the-road as a sophomore in the last five minutes of study hall. It's as utilitarian as a member of a church whose scripture is entirely based on water bills. When I ran RateMyTeacher on this school, the website printed out a single piece of paper that said, "It's North. It's fine." Let's face the facts. This school isn't going to win any division championships, but neither are you. Stop lying to yourself and stop lying to your parents. This isn't the school you want, but it's the school you deserve: West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North.

    My wife and I were facing a tough decision while choosing a preschool for our daughter. We looked…read moreat a few establishments and finalized TLE West Windsor. After a month and a half, we are still convinced that we had made the right decision. The curriculum for toddlers is great and the teachers provide the personal care that children need. We are amazed to see how Ms. Geetha cares for each and every child. We have our peace of mind knowing that our daughter is in good hands. TLE West Windsor is doing their best in this crisis situation. They strictly follow all the CDC guidelines and try to make it a safe place for everyone. I highly recommend TLE West Windsor to anyone who lives nearby and is looking for a preschool for their kids!

    I was looking for this center of the learning exp for my toddlers as it had good reviews and was on…read moremy way to my work. We visited the center and were impressed by it for sure as it was neat , clean , big , digital screen, main street usa and all. But unfortunately the most important part of the whole experience - the toddler classroom teacher/caretaker was not so good. We first met her when she came to Directors office while we were there for our tour appointment and she was staring at our kids weirdly [ so much and so long ] that even the director Ms. Geetha had to ask her why is she staring like that. We ignored at that point , and then I scheduled a play date before I get my kids enrolled. During our tour [ we had taken our kids for it] we went to the toddler classroom. kids were still getting up from their nap. but I saw almost no interaction from her with them and there was another helper Bhoomi who was doing it all. during our play date, just before we enter the classroom with kids we saw she just picked up the box full of blocks [ I suspect that she got notified that we are coming to room] and just emptied it on floor [without even bending down]. Again there was just no conversation with any of the kids there what so ever.. not even come lets play, lets build blocks etc.. kids started playing on their own. then while we were there another parent came to pick up her kid and again there was no hello or any conversation initiated by her until the parent ask her about how did her child do today. and I was surprised to see her response on the question.. she just said that the toddler still takes off her shoe [nothing about what did she do through out the day] and that's it. on top of it, we still thought that let the kids play for some time and we waited outside to see how good they are feeling with the place. then we waited in the Directors office , where within 5 mins we heard and saw them crying on the tv installed in directors office. we still waited for another few mins before rushing to classroom, as we thought that teacher will make some attempt to calm the kids and literally there was hardly any and she immediately called us to come and get them. and she said that they were playing well [ which we were seeing the tv from office], an one put something in mouth, where she asked to take that out, and the kid started crying. then we just came out and in spite of all great things about the center we decided not to opt for the same atleast till my toddler goes to next class or at least the teacher is changed. We went to some other classrooms where elder kids were there and we found them and teacher enjoying and learning on the digital screen. I would definitely vote for this center apart from toddler class.
