Ambleside School is like no other that I know. The children at Ambleside not only learn, they actually seem to enjoy it! The school is very hands on, learning through experience and multiple intelligences. No standardized tests, lots of time outside in nature, music and art, average of 3 field trips per month, children read great literature, teachers that really nurture - this school is FABULOUS!
There isn't a better elementary school in the city than this one! Because teaching is their calling and not just their job, the staff creates an atmosphere that is welcoming and engaging for all students. And the kids learn! As a classroom helper I get to see teaching at its' finest. My favorites are history and spanish songs. I (andmost of the other parents) love to learn right along with the kids. Another thing I love is that they provide outdoor recess twice a day. No other schools around, to my knowledge, even acknowledge the need of children for outdoor recess let alone provide it twice daily. And then, there is art, gym, handcrafts, composer study, etc., etc, etc.
