I have attended New Garden Friends School since I was in second grade. I am now in twelfth grade. My experience at my school has gotten progressively worse over time. My school has gone from being resourceful and innovative to being very behind on academics and getting rid of many extracurricular activities. The best parts of my experience however has been the small environment. As someone with social anxiety I enjoy going to a school where I can be friends with everyone. Everyone knows each other by name and has classes or activities with each other throughout the year. It is easy to have a relationship with each teacher because they know each of their students well due to the small student to teacher ratio. The worst parts of my experience has been the low standard for our academics. My school adjusts its curriculum so that everyone can pass even if they simply don't understand the work. Instead of helping strengthen our learning skills teachers adjust to allow us to stay confused.

The preschool is awful! Admin said i can stay with my kid on his first day & then did not let me, said parents are not allowed to go in the class or playground. Teachers dont wash or wipe down toys & surfaces, but only use a disinfectant spray. The classroom is grimey! They said my kid had trouble opening his lunch and spilled it on the floor. Theres no extra, so he didnt eat lunch that day, was STARVING when I got him! He had an injury, i asked the teacher what happened, she just said "I don't know". Kids spend all day outside where they play by themselves and teachers talk to each other. Took my 3yr old on a bus a mile away from the school & did not tell me! Went to admin with my concerns, they made excuses & offered no resolution. I told them I was pulling my kid out (without my $12,100 refund) & i said why, no reply. Do NOT put your child here! Ive been a pre-k teacher for 18 yrs, this place is not good for anyone. Ask questions & pay attention, you will easily see for yourself!

The preschool program is terrible & the admin does not care! These things happened in just 8 days of my child being there. I was told by 3 different staff members that would be able to stay with my 3 year old on his first day & get him acclimated because he has some attachment & sensory issues. On t...

July 2020 - I imagine for many parents it’s a very stressful time thinking about school for their kids. But honestly, when I think about our kids going back to NGFS (whenever that may be) the stress is minimized. I know that they will be safe and cared for - the same priorities that have always been...

It would be difficult to overstate the magnitude of the positive experience our family has had with this school. The teachers are highly experienced and do a stellar job in developing a thorough knowledge of each child allowing for an individualized approach to learning and development. In addition...

I am so grateful that I found NGFS! I truly love how this school focuses on the whole child rather than just test results. They have a social curriculum unlike any other. They recognize and celebrate each child's unique gifts. The teachers regularly communicate to me and are always available if I ha...
