The faculty and principals are outstanding. They create a safe and healthy environment for the students. Respect for their fellow classmates is taught at all levels.

The 'community' in the name of the school is more than an aspiration -- it's the way the school culture is organized among faculty, administration, and families. Parental involvement is very high, and students are organized into academic 'teams' that build long-term relationships across grades. Older students can sign up for in-school community service that includes mentoring younger students or working with kids with special needs. Faculty members seek out ongoing e-mail input and feedback from parents and act as sponsors for a wide range of academic and extracurricular activities. It's a very intentional community that surrounds our kids with eyes and ears, and with hands to help, and teachers are strongly focused on academic performance. Our family has had a great experience at SCS.

We are parents of a bright but behaviorally challenged kid. The staff and teachers at SCS have been just outstanding at working with us as a team to help our child. They respect our insight and ideas and make useful and compassionate suggestions. We've been so impressed by the love our child has experienced there. We're sorry to have to leave! The music also seems to be great, our child loved music class. Lots of extracurricular activities and parent involvement, a real emphasis on families. The school is very much a part of the community. It's a great school and the principal we worked with, Allegra Miller, is outstanding.
