FROM OUR STUDENTS

FROM OUR PARENTS

“When our children were in fourth and seventh grade, it became clear to us that our children’s needs were not being met in their school. We were so fortunate to find Thaddeus Stevens School as an option. Their classes were small, and their teachers were dedicated, attentive, and very much a part of the fabric of the school. Now in high school, we find that they’ve been prepared exceptionally well for the challenges of accelerated and advanced placement coursework. The logistics – driving, tuition, and so on – were not always easy for us, but what our family got in return from Thaddeus Stevens School was truly priceless.”

—Jen Castle

“My children are in kindergarten and in preschool. I fell in love with the school and its approach to learning. I want my children to be challenged and to love learning, as well as know how to learn. The hands-on learning here is critical, especially at young ages. My son was a little shy and I didn’t want him to get lost. The culture here is super-inclusive, super-welcoming. He’s very comfortable with his teachers, his classmates, and also with the older students, who are very kind to the younger ones.” —Caroline Porter

“The unique environment of the school and its academic approach have made him a more confident person, a more passionate learner, and a more responsible citizen. We could not be happier with our decision to enroll him here.” 

–Carla Ciardelli

“Thaddeus Stevens School has had a huge impact on our lives. My son is thriving here. The school recognizes each individual, and actively searches for just the right way to get through and connect with the students. The school creates a safe space for community and respectful connection. The life lessons my child is learning will benefit not just his personal life, but also the changing world at large. When I am lucky enough to stay for morning meeting, sometimes I leave with tears of inspiration and gratitude that theses students are learning how to be informed, to take care of each other, and create a better world. We are so lucky to be part of this amazing school community.”
