Extremely disappointing experience with this school from beginning to end…read more To start, they require children to undergo lead blood testing just to attend their summer camp, an unnecessary and intrusive requirement. More concerning, however, is their discriminatory treatment of children with IEPs. Both of my children were enrolled in the camp, but after I submitted one of their IEPs (at the school's request), they revoked that child's admission within a few hours of me sending the report. This decision was made solely based on their IEP. I had mentioned that they were welcome to call his current teacher to gain more information in regard to how well he/she was doing, but they didn't want to hear it - full admission denial one month before the start of camp. I would not, under any circumstances, recommend this school.

Shamima and Stewart (Lower Elementary teachers) have created an environment that nurtures curiosity which then motivates the children to learn. My son was initially a reluctant reader who was not pushed but gently guided. He self-motivated into reading well above grade level. He has always loved math and because of the Montessori program, has progressed at his own pace and is excelling. The teachers keep a peaceful, respectful environment where kids of all abilities and diverse backgrounds are made to feel an integral part of the classroom. The classrooms are bright, large and clean and the library is full of resources. There are smart boards that are relied upon to an appropriate degree. Tech class, Spanish, Music, Gym, Art are all 1x/week and are led by excellent teachers too. The student-teacher ratio is excellent also.

This store is a mix between a book store and good teachers paradise for supplies. If you are a fan of Jesus with a side of educational tools and toys this place is for you. Owned and operated by Amish, we were two of three folks in the store that were not Amish. When you first walk in, you definitely get the religious vibe, then you move further in the store and you are in a parents dream for Melissa and Doug toys, all the workbooks you can dream of, and there are even potty training tools with incentive gold stickers. Highly recommend stopping if you are a parent looking for educational tools to further your child's development. Competitive prices.

NCCL teachers are so loving and nurturing to our children and supportive to parents as well. I'm so…read moregrateful they are a part of our families' lives and a role model of compassion and positivity. Before we even had children, we knew we wanted a creative and compassionate environment for our children as they grew up. A place where their self-esteem and self-efficacy would bloom. We've found that and more at NCCL. It is such a wonderful community, and we are so appreciative to be a part of it! I do not know the specifics of the negative review below, but the school is small (10 kids per grade level) and does not have the resources of larger schools. I can only speculate that would be why outside help was encouraged for any behavioral issues.

The learning is fun, interactive, and centered around the abilities of the students, and the hands-on methods of teaching allowed me to understand and apply concepts to real-life situations. I never had to ask myself "Why does this matter?" The teachers there were/are like parents to me, and I knew that I could always come to them with any struggles I might be having, emotionally or academically. The environment is safe and nonjudgemental; my NCCL family has truly shaped me as a person. Although I have had struggles with anxiety since an early age, the staff has always cared for and supported me in even my loftiest goals. When I was in eighth grade, I told my writing teacher, Kate, that I wanted to write a novel by the end of the year, and with her help and constant reinforcement, I completed it. Now, I am an English major with a Writing Concentration at Gettysburg College (minors in Literature and Studio Art). I had a 4.5 GPA throughout high school, and I now have a 4.2 GPA in college. I am a published author, journalist, and artist, as well as the editor for our on-campus literary and art magazine. None of this would have been possible without the support and aid of the teachers at NCCL, who encouraged me to think deeply, and pursue my interests doggedly. NCCL is the most accepting community that I have ever had the privilege of entering, and the staff works hard to accommodate students and families. They have plentiful compassion and experience when it comes to working with children with learning disabilities, and the environment of the school itself is welcoming and supportive to all. This school is a family, and I was so lucky to be a part of it. I will be forever grateful for my time at NCCL.

The University of Delaware, with its main campus in Newark, Delaware had its beginnings in 1743 and…read moreevolved into a public institution of higher learning; named Newark College (1765) and then Delaware College (1843). It was not until 1921 that it became University of Delaware. Honestly, I wouldn't care all that much, but for the fact that my son has decided to attend as a college freshman in September. Suddenly, it is very important to me. I've since learned that it is one of the oldest universities in the USA, and is ranked #127 of 1,647 colleges in America and #77 of 366 for engineering schools (my son plans to study aerospace engineering). True, it is also #35 /1,520 top party schools, and #36/672 top public universities. Ultimately, what he makes of it is up to him. I just hope the partying stat is not important to him (I'm dreaming). The most important part of its mission statement is: "...The University of Delaware promotes an environment in which all people are inspired to learn, and encourages intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, free inquiry and respect for the views and values of an increasingly diverse population." So, what is a Blue Hen, you ask. During the Revolutionary War, Congress commissioned the creation of a military battalion from the lower counties of Delaware. It was captained by John Caldwell, who among other things, was known for breeding fighting gamecocks. His chickens had bluish plumage and were ferocious. His regiment soon adopted the name "Blue Hen Chickens" to note their bravery in battle. The assignation stuck, and it became the mascot of the school in 1911 as the Fightin' Blue Hens in their honor. Brave chickens! Guess I'll have to get used to that oxymoron. Hope my son does their history proud.

We moved to St. Anne's with our then 6th grader, knowing middle school would only prove more disappointing. After just that one year, we were convinced that our other children should follow. Last year, with 4th, 6th and 7th grade students at SAES, we watched our children truly flourish. Their confidence grew, their minds were challenged, their creativity embraced. At SAES, our children have a voice, their intelligence knows no bounds and their souls are nourished. We know our now 8th grader, in only his 3rd year at St. Anne's, is more than prepared for all that is ahead of him and we truly could not be more thankful.
