We moved our daughter from private school to Wolflin, and haven’t looked back! She loves her class, teacher, and friends. The staff is caring and supportive, and there are always opportunities for parents to engage and volunteer.

Our children have attended this school since 2022, and our experience has been nothing short of wonderful! Contrary to some reviews, the school truly values celebrating students—our kids have enjoyed holiday parties for Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day every year. The Paideia seminars have been transformative, nurturing empathy and critical thinking in ways we’ve seen firsthand. They absolutely love Wolflin’s STEM and art programs, which spark their creativity and curiosity. This small, welcoming school has provided such a warm, inclusive environment for our family, and we highly recommend it to friends looking for a supportive community.

Wow This school is nothing but a joke! Most schools do activities for the kids however this school asked if the PARENTS could come watch the kids while the teachers get to have a fun day! Wolfin had an event they invited the Parents to come watch their kids in the auditorium, just to find out that all our children were to just sit criss cross apple sauce watching the teachers get on stage and play games while the kids and parents watched! They do not do holiday parties for the kids just the teachers. all while the teachers don’t even put in their best effort to help the children learn. if your kid is not a fast learner (or even is) this school isn’t for you, they claim to have to many kids and that’s why they aren’t able to help your child any further.Ive brought up certain things to the principles attention. This lady was on a power trip, and will not hear you out. Very judgmental & rude! I all around just don’t recommend this school.

This school is terrible. If your kid is involved in any altercation or disciplinary actions they will not tell you or call you. I watched 2 boys get in a fight and nothing was done. Just told the aggressor to “ sit here for 30 Mins”. No parents get alerted of anything. I’ve had a teacher tell me to my face that “there are too many kids in the classes, so they can’t help everyone” they don’t care about kids with slower learning or any disabilities. I highly recommend staying away from this school and the insane character of a principal that is on a power trip. No matter your situation I promise they will make it the most difficult.

If your child is a straight A student who never struggles with adaptability, flexibility, transitions, self-regulation, or impulsivity, Wolflin still isn’t a great choice, but your child will probably skate along just fine. On the other hand, if your child has ADHD, is on the autism spectrum, has sensory processing disorder, or otherwise struggles with the skills listed above—MOVE, get a transfer, work three full-time jobs to afford private school, homeschool—seriously, whatever you need to do. In my family’s experience, the principal and a majority of the teaching faculty at Wolflin have very limited interest in helping children with invisible disabilities succeed, and will view them solely as a problem that deserves punishment. And honestly, I’ve received this same report from other parents who have been in our shoes at Wolflin as well. If you mention sensory interventions, they’ll look at you like you’re from outer space. If you feel like the administration and teachers look down on you as an adult, imagine how your kids feel. This school is much more focused on quick fixes for behavior than trying to discern WHY the behavior is happening in the first place and the what is in the best interest of the student long-term. I begged to hear positive things about my kid for years. Unless I directly reached out to a teacher and said, “what has my child done right lately?” I never heard anything positive. I could not be more thankful to be done with Wolflin.
