Austin Discovery School

"Lot's of play, very little actual learning, zero diversity. Kids are sheltered and a little weird. Poor academics. Kids are behind when they start middle school after ADS. The whole philosophy look great on paper, but it is NOT delivered."

"Austin Discovery School changed our lives. Our daughter has grown up in private schools, but the last private school she was at had severe bullying problems. This year has been amazing. From the teachers to the community and everything in between. She has grown more confident. She is never bullied. She is encouraged to be herself. She studies eco wellness (and loves it) and she loves the Wednesday hikes. Our daughter is the 98 on her Star test and is overall very bright, and this school has given her reasons to be excited about excelling further. She is not board like she was in other schools. I am impressed with ADS and look forward to having our son attend this coming year in Kinder. I hope you’ll consider ADS, the school focused more on your child then any other school we’ve been to."

"My grandson's have gone there for 3 years. They love it and seem to learn the same as my friends kids. They have gardens and hikes and learn more than just sitting in a classroom."

"We came back to this school after trying the shorter commute to our neighborhood school. It's not perfect but for us a far better alternative than the public school assembly line. I want my kids to actually care about this planet and the people that live on it, not just learn how to read and do math."

"ADS was a huge disappointment for our family. Our child has special needs and we were made big promises about their social skills program. The staff was ill equipped to actually handle their population of special needs students. Add that to the complete lack of diversity and I would never recommend this school."
