I can't even begin to describe what this school has done for my daughter. After being beaten down in a snobby private school because she did not fit the neurotypical mold, thank God we found this school. The reason Mill Springs is successful is that the caring, respect and concern for our children starts at the top and if a teacher can't learn to teach the way a child learns, they don't belong at this school. Every teacher my child has had during her 3 years at this school has taught her not only the academic subject they were required to teach, but also how to be the very best person she can be. She has learned acceptance of others, kindness and consideration, and gained self confidence in realizing that she may learn differently - but she is definitely capable of reaching for the stars. Definitely visit this school!
The social program is wonderful, but in grades 1-6 the academics are weak (especially in the lower school (grades 1-4) and communication is poor. This improves in the pre-upper school (grades 7-8). They claim to be a laptop school, but little emphasis is placed on teaching technology or even on teaching the students how to use the required laptops. It is a good school for kids with ADHD and my child has been very happy there.
This school does a good job of helping children socially and gives kids a opportunity to participate in athletics but besides that I feel like it is majority lacking academically. I attended this school for 3 years and by the end of the third year I was bored. Just because a student has ADD does not mean they need easier classes
My son has been very happy at the school. the social program/levels system is wonderful. They teach the kids to be responsible and accountable for their choices. My only real complaint, is that for a laptop school, they don't put enough emphasis on teaching technology. Each child grades 4th & up are required to purchase a laptop through the school, but they don't really teach the kids how to use them. Technology is taught in 4th grade, but that's it. There are no classes for kids who enter the school after the 4th grade.
