[quote=Anonymous]Quick summation from a current parent:

The school is committed to keeping its students grounded and happy.  I've witnessed this from the youngest level at the village campus to the way that all teachers truly know and respect the students at Postoak (middle/upper school campus).

The school is growing at an exponential rate.  They've been around for a little more than 35 years.  They're still refining their mission, and it can get a bit choppy, but I have been comforted as a parent to witness the school's true effort to be the most welcoming and helpful establishment for its students.  The new student center is great.

The CTTL (the Learning Center, as some other posts have referred to it) has grown equally quickly.  They seem to be focused on St. Andrew's students at their core but definitely seem to be reaching out to other schools/non-profits for extra exposure.  If they can manage to organize their vision, I think they'll accomplish great things for this school in the next half decade and perhaps beyond.

The MS head is a leading voice in topics of diversity and has been a tremendous win for the school.

Whenever I visit, the kids do seem happy.  Take that with a grain of salt, if you need to; I realize that parents are not privy to all aspects of the school day.  Still, what I have taken away from every experience at that school is gratitude for a place that is growing, and trying, every day alongside of their students.

OP, I am so sorry that you have not had this experience.  I hope that you can find the best fit for your child's happiness.
