Exceptional! After a number of discouraging school experiences, we found Sparhawk. Our primary concern is having a safe, inclusive, caring environment - Sparhawk absolutely provides a level of attention AND intention that goes above and beyond. They have navigated the COVID situation with transparency and concern, providing resources and focusing on the needs of our children. The curriculum draws from diverse sources, providing robust and engaging project-based learning. The school has a progressive set of values, a credo, that reflects the values of the school and the community it strives to create and maintain. When our child has struggled, he has found multiple outlets for support, from his classroom teacher all the way to the head of school. I feel confident he is learning to to strive and grow because he feels cared for and listened to. He is a neurodiverse 2e kid, and no other place has been able to come close to meeting his needs with as much grace and skill as Sparhawk.

It's pretty easy to sum up our experience at Sparhawk (lower school) by asking our daughter how her school day was each day. Her answer is always, "Every day is a great day! I love everything we do!" From the fantastic amount of time spend outdoors, to the way the curriculum is weaved into so many different types of activities, we couldn't be happier with Sparhawk! It is an extraordinary place with a true sense of community, even between students of widely varying ages. The teachers are wonderful and we absolutely love how important the arts are there -- in addition to all the core stuff. We love Sparhawk, and can't wait for our second child to head there next year too!

Sparhawk is a student centered learning program that encourages creativity and thinking outside the box. I have always found it easy to work with the administration and teachers with any concerns, suggestions, and collaborations in supporting my children's needs. I have found that the small class sizes have benefitted my children with close attention and finding their strengths and learning styles. There is no sports/physical education program, but they offer ways for students to join other local schools to satisfy those interested in athletics. I am grateful for the opportunity to have my children in an environment that is truly committed to their motto, "Creating a culture of kindness," while also providing the tools to think for themselves and contribute to their community. Thank you to all at Sparhawk who have helped me raise my children. It takes a village to raise a child and Sparhawk is a strong part of my family's village.
