Our daughter attended Namaste for three years, in the same classroom. The gift of her experience is…read morehard to capture in a few sentences. She has continually been challenged and supported academically, socially, and emotionally. Her artwork includes still-life and portrait drawings. She writes her name in cursive and was empowered to read at the age of five. She has solid math skills and knows all the continents...This is but a taste of what she has learned. More importantly, she is empowered to learn. The classroom environment allows her to help guide her own growth while challenging her to work on skills that will help her in the future (including things like using a hammer and nails and taking space in a place like a "peace loft" when she needs to!). She hasn't just learned how to be a student: she has learned how to be a human being in her world and contribute to it. People constantly comment on how "mature" she is for her age. She has self-control, she's relatively independent, she shows empathy for others, she is endlessly curious and asks thoughtful questions, and she can talk rather deeply about her feelings - among a myriad of other notable qualities related to her time at Namaste. The teachers are incredible, and the progress reports are detailed depictions of our daughter in the classroom. The school also encourages family participation throughout the year, including a "bring an adult to school day" and "gardening day." It is a beautiful community. My husband and I often remark on how Namaste is one of the best decisions we made as parents. What an incredible gift to give her this foundation for the rest of her life.

The fire making and stone drilling activities also piqued her interest. I would give this camp 5 stars except for the fact that the camp end time doesn't accommodate working families. The regular day ends at 3:30 and "epic" day ends at 4:30. It would be so much more epic for parents if there was an extended day program until 5 or 5:30.

Some instructors did have their phones out a lot, but it mostly seemed work related. I know they constantly communicate with the owner of the school. I took driver's education at 16 years old, then didn't get back on the road for 12 years due to a fear of driving. My main instructor now says I'm his most improved student. In my mind, the instructors I worked with did the impossible. Not only am I over my fear, but I'm a pretty good driver. Scheduling is a bit crazy - you don't always get the same instructor twice in a row, which I was hesitant about at first, but over my time with them, I drove with four different instructors, and each one was pretty consistent. They ask you what you worked on previously, and you go from there. You might not always drive in the same car from lesson to lesson, which I was also worried about at first, but in the end it was good to try out different cars. I would recommend this driving school. It's pricey, but the instructors are great, they really are concerned with making sure you become a safe driver who is comfortable on the road.
