I had my girl in this school for 3 months recently. I am glad that I took her out and would not recommend this place. Couple of things:The teacher/student ratio is variable on day-to-day basis. Some days I saw more students in a class. Also my girl would be with different teachers and friends on a regular basis. While this may seem a minor issue, I personally prefer having the same teachers and peers in her class and this is important for her to feel comfortable and learn from her peers.Many days I've noticed teachers on mobile phones during school hours. This is very annoying. As a parent, I'd want my kid to stay safe under an adult supervision and this was a big minus here. More specifically, in the classroom where my girl was, the teacher was juggling between the class and office, so there were times where these kids are unsupervised. This really freaked me out.Overall, I did not find my girl learning substantially in these 3 months while I saved few hundred bucks in tuition.

The Prep School Academy provides a wonderful, individualized circulum for students. My daughter has an IEP and has flourished in the smaller classroom setting and with having the same teacher for the past 2 years. The Prep School is a project based school and offers many learning opportunities, since it is nestled in downtown Bloomington. The students take many walking field trips to the government buildings, police/fire stations, library, IU campus, local Ivy Tech Arts center, and the local arts theater.
