Not all children learn in the same way. Eagle Peak offers the best of both worlds - an alternative hands on Montessori learning approach within the framework of the state public schools. Teachers are dedicated, holding multiple credentials and parents are involved with their child's program and the school. It is large enough to offer a variety of peers for all the ages but small enough to feel like a close knit community.
Eagle Peak truly offers their students a unique opportunity to learn via Montessori methods. Students learn so much more than I did in my traditional school. Moreover, they learn how to think and solve problems. I consider my kids very lucky to have this experience.
My daughter is doing well at the school and loves it there. The change of teachers has actually been a benefit to her. Her confidence, maturity, and independence has really grown due to the environment and support she has been given. Though, I do agree with the uber-controlling parents bit in the last post. I've seen the prinicipal try to negate that in encouraging new parents to volunteer and trying to find more creative ways in allowing more parents to become involved rather then just the same set everytime.
Pros: Caring, competent faculty, active parent body, small school community, emphasis on community and service. Cons: Wish there had been a little less teacher turnover recently, although it's not the school's fault. A few uber-controlling parents who have little else to do but shuffle around in chairmanship and member positions on the boards and parent-teacher group. But, that's no different than most schools. Overall I am pleased with the education my child receives, and most of the parent, administration, and faculty interaction has been positive.
