Next year I will be starting my 9th year at Ashley, and I can honestly say that it is one of the best places to go to school. It has smaller classes so you get much more attention than at most schools, and you do alot of hands on learning. They care about you and what you will become later on in your life.
Ashley Academy is one of the best options for the local area. This small, personalized school for grades 1-8 has a low student teacher ratio and is non-sectarian. This allows for more focus and attention and harmonious ethnic diversity. Although there may be room for slight improvement in the areas of curriculum (could be more challenging); extra curriculur activities; and, better modeling of environmental and health awareness, I believe it is well worth the tuition.
My son is nearing the end of his third year at AA. We have been extremely pleased, overall. The education he receives is exceptional and the environment is nurturing and caring. At AA, the teachers focus on individualized attention for each child, insuring that the kids reach their full potential. They also focus on manners, respect, and responsibility. I'm thankful to have this alternative to public schools available in this town. AA is well worth the tuition.
I have been a teacher at Ashley Academy for eight years and I could not be happier. My overall job satisfaction is near 100%. I enjoy the children the families, and my colleagues. The strong feeling of family and a commitment to a common purpose--doing what is best for the child--is clearly evident. I've taught in a few other schools and I can truly say that Ashley Academy provides an exceptional learning atmosphere and firm foundation for children who are bright and willing to explore learning in a variety of ways.
