Parent: My husband and I wanted an inclusive school that would be an extension of our family, and we found that in the Burgundy Community. We made the decision to send my son to Burgundy in JK and looking back now as he is in the midst of 2nd grade, choosing Burgundy was the best decision. Burgundy is a nurturing community that fosters the whole child, ensuring life long learners. Burgundy leans into a child's individual character and ensures every child is heard and has a voice. My son loves Burgundy and is thriving. I know without a doubt that Burgundy will lay the foundation for my son's continued success, not only in his future academic pursuits, but in life as a whole!... Read 10 reviews

Parent: I am the mom of a 7-year-old (2nd grade) daughter who has been at RPMS since age two in the toddler program. We chose RPMS because we knew several families with older kids at RPMS and their kids were all-around great people. After a few months at RPMS, we knew it was the school for our family long-term and we could not be happier. In our first parent-teacher conference -- when our daughter was only 2! -- her teacher detailed the different "work" that our daughter was doing and how those selections illustrated her development. Her teacher identified abstract concepts that our little girl had absorbed and explained how the development of certain motor skills would help her future academic learning. It was so insightful. Our experience has gotten better each year. Every teacher takes the time to understand our daughter as a student and a person. They value her quirks, can guide her out of a frustrating moment, and delight as much at her acts of kindness as they do her academic progress.... Read 3 reviews

Alum: I attended The Williams School (TWS) in Ghent from second to eighth grade. It is without a doubt the most special and most rewarding educational experience I have had throughout my academic career which, to date, spans an undergraduate degree and a graduate degree. Small class sizes foster deep, long-lasting connections with peers, teachers, and other faculty and stimulate creative learning across the board. Faculty at TWS truly go above and beyond for each student and work tirelessly to make sure each student's individual needs are met. Their dedication builds a level of trust in other and in self that further empowers students to be proactive not only in their education, but also in their personal and social development. TWS provides extracurricular opportunities during a pivotal developmental period that, at larger schools, students may frankly not have the opportunity to fully experience (athletics, forensics, music); students are completely immersed. Truly a magnificent school!... Read 9 reviews
