We have not had a good experience with this school overall. Things they do well: letting kids be kids- recess for all grades- some interesting field trips- they try to involve all students in some areas of extra-curricular and teachers are very caring. That said, if you have a normal, well adjusted child this is not the school for you. They motivate by threats and have a 'one policy fits all students' philosophy- which of course works well for the unruly undisciplined child but has only served to lower the self- esteem of our child. Also this school touts a low tuition but really makes up for it in semester fees, field trip fees, extra costs here and there and before you know it it is quite an expensive education and it's hard to say exactly where your money is going.
My daughter has attended Camelot for a number of years. As a result, she is more focused, desciplined, eager to learn and has become a first class student. Thanks Camelot!
I just wish we had found Camelot sooner! My daughter is in the middle grades, and you couldn't ask for two more patience teachers than Ms. Michelle and Mr. Dan. In spite of her learning disabilities that can make teaching her a challenge, they have both done an incredible job getting her to understand. We cannot believe the progress she has made in just one year. They have restored a love of learning in her that the public school she was attending had nearly driven out. She loves going to school now which is something we never thought we would see. She feels safer and is much more relaxed in the smaller setting this school provides. She has found role models in the upper school children and in turn loves mentoring the younger grades. Don t let the exterior fool you, this is an amazing school!
My child has been attending Camelot Academy for 2 1/2 years from Kindergarten. I have been pleased with his advancement in reading and mathematics to a level considered higher than his grade level. He has been receiving an excellent and broad exposure to music and has been given opportunities to work with the computer. Older students frequently work with younger students to help them acheive their goals. In the 25 years of its existance, 100% of Camelot graduates have entered college. On the downside, there seems to be a high rate of teacher turn-over for a small faculty of only 16, at least 5 have left in the two years, and the excellent music teacher is moving on to further his career. There is a small amount of extracurricular activity, and that is for the upper school students.
