I adore Friends Western. My daughter has been in the school for one year and we are returning next year. This is an amazing little school with old-fashioned values and great academics. The kids are sweet and happy. They teacher to student ratio is about 10:1. I cannot praise this enough. I am so thankful for it. I really feel this is the perfect education system and the happy, thriving children are proof of this! Before attending a public school (briefly), my daugher went to a Waldorf school for several years. This reminds me very much of a Waldorf school but with more conventional learning. I think it combines the best of Waldorf and Montessouri. Since it is so small the kids can really love and learn from each other.
Absolutely wonderful school. We are so thankful to have found this gem. Our daughter couldn't be more excited about going everyday. Her curiosity for learning has increased 10 fold. The teachers are patient, engaging, and bring out the best in each child. Highly recommended.
The Staff and teachers are wonderful here, the safety is top notch (I can't believe one parent complained about that) and I know my child is getting the individual attention he needs.
After raising three children, in a variety of school settings - public, private and boarding -and a teacher myself, I can tell you that teacher student ratio is 90% of what you pay for in any school setting. 20 children in a class means that they are getting fifteen minutes of attention apiece, combined with endless lining up, tying shoes and waiting around while everyone goes potty. At Friends Western School you are an individual from the moment you walk in the door - your learning style, your intelligence, strengths, your curiousity, that what Teacher Robin and Teacher Tracy are looking for so school can be a positive experience. They are creative, intelligent, compassionate teachers and believe that everyone has genius in them. The kids learn to learn and learn to love learning.
