FernLeaf

"We love this school! Don't be fooled by the numbers--FernLeaf operates according to global best practices in education, which prioritize building the foundations for learning how to learn in early childhood. Thus, school performance outcomes are expected to be lower at the elementary level (kids are not taught to pass state tests. They are taught how to learn). Higher educational results are to be expected by the time students reach the upper secondary school levels, and parents need to be aware of these goals and adjust expectations accordingly. In the interim, our children are thriving in an environment where they feel safe, respected, encouraged, loved, deeply cared for, and free to take partnership in their educational experience together with their teachers. They love going to school, they love learning in groups, and they love being a part of a community that feels so much like family. FernLeaf has been a godsend, and I would highly recommend it to anyone!"

"This isn't exactly accurate because the charter school doesn't even serve lunch I don't know how kids can be free or reduced on it when its not even offered. Parents pack lunches and snacks. My daughter has been going here for three years and we love it"

"FernLeaf takes great pride in meeting students where they are at academically while also placing great emphasis on social and emotional development, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. FernLeaf students demonstrate their growth and accomplishments in these areas in numerous ways through project work, meaningful academic assessments, and their ability to be strong contributors to their communities."

"We had to withdraw our child from the school because of the lack of learning that was happening and the cult-like culture of this school. My child is an exceptional reader and somehow managed to fail the reading part of his final. My child was doing math at a second grade level. We moved to a different school and my child is doing so much better. I do not recommend this school to anyone who wants their kid to actually learn anything. It seems like all they care about is being "woke" and running around in the mud on cold, rainy days."
