My child has now been going to this school for 3 years. Could not be happier. Parental support is overwhelming. Parents are welcomed in the classroom. Volunteerism is expected although not demanded.

We are so happy that we chose Aquarian for our child’s elementary education. Our child is now in first grade and it has been such a positive experience. Aquarian really is a family, and I feel fortunate knowing that my child has an entire team of teachers and administrators who go above and beyond to make school a warm, welcoming and engaging place for her to go every day. We feel so lucky to have found such a nurturing and stimulating environment for her develop a love of learning.

I love that Aquarian is an ability led school. They cater to all levels of students based on their individual needs starting in Kindergarten. The teachers are all fantastic and most of the students are very friendly. For the students who aren't friendly, they seem to be addressed quickly and they have zero tolerance for bullying. The after school activities are fantastic, and the exploration days are the highlight of the quarter for the students.

My son attended Aquarian for kindergarten and 1st grade. I have absolutely loved this school. The teachers are great and love what they do. My son has excelled academically and socially. They provide great after school activities, awesome exploration days and many different things to stimulate kids learning. You will never walk into Aquarian and not see parents there volunteering. It's a really nice thing to see. The staff and the families get along so well. I would recommend Aquarian to everyone that I know. We are moving out of state and I am honestly sad to leave Aquarian.

Aquarian Charter school is a perfect balance of arts and sciences. It is a kid focused school with a lot of parent involvement. The inquiry-based delivery of the curriculum provides students with lots of problem solving opportunities which build important skills for later in life. Thanks Aquarian!!

The school is so warm and inviting! The teachers and staff work with students closely, create interesting and exciting learning experiences, and students who become self motivated learners because of their efforts. We love Aquarian and would recommend the school to anyone that wants a strong academic program, extra classes like Spanish and Technology, and a small caring learning community!

Aquarian Charter School is a wonderful place for my children to learn. They take the time to understand the needs of the kids. Not only the faculty and administration, but the parent volunteers as well.

A great fit for my child. If you want to be part of your child's education this is a welcoming place. Children are tested to determine their placement level in core subjects and are moved along accordingly. Parents here are expected to participate and volunteer in many capacities for the good of the whole school. It has to be good or I wouldn't commit to driving across town twice a day for the foreseeable future just so my daughter can go there!

Excellent! Spanish, art twice a week, explorations... what's not to love? The staff and teachers really have the best interest of the students in mind. It is excellent that more is required of the parents than chauffeuring children to and from school by requiring volunteer hours.

Amazing, magical place. Children love to go to school- and skip down the hallways to classes.

Aquarian teaches a differentiated curriculum, so students don't have to wait for the rest of the class to 'catch up' for them to learn new concepts and information.

Aquarian does a great job of integrating science into fun activities. It is a school that has a goal of the basic R's, yet appreciates the arts.

Aquarian is an amazing school that offers opportunities to children in our city that are not found in the normal public schools. They take the time to assure that each child is being taught at their learning level and don't hold back children who are ready to move forward. They are encouraging in every way. The teachers, staff and parents are who make this school happen, and the children are the awesome product of what is acheived daily.

We love Aquarian because it is a community that lifts up and supports the children in their learning and creativity.
