As parents of two children at Socrates, we can't say enough great things about the school. Our daughter is in the 2nd grade and is adjusting well for her first year there. She came from a private school and was behind when she started Socrates. Her teacher tutors her on her own personal time free of charge. That would not have happened at the private school she attended. I also love the fact that they can attend extra activities such as Spanish and Drama for a very reasonable cost. Our only regret is that our oldest child is in the 5th grade and missed out on the opportunity. We simply love the teachers and staff.
Socrates Academy is a Charter School with Grades K-4. It is a Greek Emmersion school, meaning that 1hr and 40 min a day is in Greek. We consider this a wonderful challenge and a great way to keep our children engaged. This year there are finally great efforts to teach a higher level of curricullum in core classes. Although there is still no Gifted Program, Acclerated Readers, Odyssey Of The Minds, AIG or any program in place for those children who are in need of a more challenging curricullum. We do in fact have 3 teachers for those children with learning difficulties. There is a lot of focus in place for those with learning challenges and no program in place for those with higher abilities. This seems to be very unequal approach to education. Communication about our children's daily lesson plan is extremely modest.
This will be our third year here,and WOW has this school grown in so many ways!We LOVE the teachers and our children love the school and are very excited to get back to it!
We are very happy with Socrates Academy! What I love about this school is how my child is a person not just a face in the crowd. My child is in a safe, nurturing environment. The staff is wonderful and they do 'team teaching'. This allows each teacher to focus on their own speciality subject. I also love the fact that my daughter is learning Greek! Included with art, music, P.E., and computer lab is also Chess. She has even taught neighborhood friends to play. I am extremely impressed with the school and it just keeps getting better every year!
