It was the best decision we could have made for our children that year. The Director Ms Mary and all the teachers there are wonderful , approachable and very hardworking. My children learnt so much at GMA in the 1 year that they were there that I wish I had sent them to GMA right from the beginning -we really miss the school. The school has a curriculum which they set out for the year( they email the schedule at the beginning of the year). The children enjoyed many field trips . My children learnt complex science terms, history, music and much more. GMA does not advertise much. Its mainly word of mouth publicity. I am glad to see they finally made an appearance on yelp which is why I am posting here. GMA is also open to newborns and toddlers but I do not have experience with those teachers so cannot really say much. They also have a school bus in case you cannot pick or drop off your children to school and I liked the fact they are open almost all year except during the December holidays ( a blessing for working parents). One area of improvement is that I wish they had a better play yard but overall that was less of a concern for me.

This is my children's first year at Magellan and it has been a wonderful experience. The school…read morechallenges them to think differently and to learn in non standard ways. I love that there are field trips that are scheduled that help them learn the material and reiterate what was taught in the classroom. Being a parent, we are all involved in our children's success, and I am happy to be there to help volunteer and meet my children's friends and teachers. My sons' teachers are very involved and communicate when they have weaknesses and strengths that we need to work on or continue to enhance. If every year continues to be like this year, I will be more then satisfied with what Magellan has done for my children.

I have never experienced the kindness and genuine desire for your child to be the best like Magellan offers. The staff know who you are if you call. They know your child's name. They give the children incentives to do well in academics and behavior (they use a coupon system that gives them a reward day). They take many USEFUL, engaging field trips. They want the families involved....they have social gatherings for Magellan families frequently throughout the school year. I don't have anything negative to say about this school. My daughter attended a public school in Granville County prior to this, and before the public school, I was homeschooling her. Homeschooling was wonderful because I was able to focus on what she needed and do things at her pace. Public school didn't allow this. However, the staff at Magellan ensure that my child is learning what she should be learning, and they are careful to work with her if she needs extra help. The teachers communicate to parents via email frequently. The school is very clean, and kept very tidy. They have a wonderful system in place. I pray they get a K-2, and 9-12. I don't want my children going anywhere else.

Any attempt to deviate from the dismissal route or attempt to park elsewhere is met with stern looks or comments from staff. Providing vans for transportation or an RPD officer to direct traffic would go a long way in improving this issue.

My child has the best experience at TFS and can't wait to go to school each day. As a Catholic…read morefamily it was very important to us to have our children learn about our religion and faith in school. I assumed this meant she would occasionally have a religion class as I did growing up. But TFS integrates Jesus's message of faith hope and love into every aspect of their learning. My children KNOW Jesus and Mary and have big places for them in their little lives. Academically I am astounded at the teacher's ability to cater to each child's needs wether special or advanced. It is a wonderful learning environment and parents are always included in what is going on as well as invited to participate on a regular basis in school events and activities. I can contact the teachers at any time with any question or concern and I always receive thoughtful and knowledgeable responses in a timely manner. The open communication is so important to me as a parent. TFS empowers the students by helping them each find their uniqueness as individuals and fosters a beautiful sense of community through their teachings of Christ and evangelism.

I wasn't given any documents about the school. I guess I just have to figure it all out on my own. Not very impressed with River Bend Elementary at this point. Let's see what happens when he starts.

At first glance - the quality of this building is evident. The value was in being outside - enjoying the festivities while observing this location. Complimentary water -fruit & snacks available & food trucks were on the other side of the building. This school is located on an incline - seemly semi secluded for optimal security. It was a picture perfect day - sunshine - just a light jacket or long sleeve shirt day - the building is sprawled over a cleverly designed landscape- it is a multi level very large building with protected outside playgrounds spaces and a lower level walking trail.It is also authentically pleasing to the eye -generous outside spaces for children to run & jump & play for outside activities.I was told there were elevators and stairs for options for accessibility. I look forward to viewing the interior at another time. It was a beautiful experience- this location is minutes away from major interstates - a major mall- accommodations - numerous restaurants-

I told them I was gonna use it to go across the country bc I am homeless going through a divorce. I did not go on my gut bc they were so professional, they could have wrote that bus off on their taxes, but instead they stole my whole savings, every dime. The guy that sold it to me had gold rings looking like a 100 dollar pimp. The money was for those young girls I was talking about at the beginning. The dash had been replaced with a newer one, but I got the computer to show me the real odometer reading, it was over 300, 000 miles, but the dash was showing 111,000 miles. They knew I would not make it back to WV from NC, and the lemon laws in NC are only for new cars. 6814725579 for more info. I donated the bus to a girl in Virginia working at an EXXON, lol. told her to scrap it. I did not even get home to work on it. UwU
