Our last public school experience was at a 10/10 on Great Schools. While we had high hopes for that school, they were only able to meet the needs of one type of learner. Here at Academy, they pride themselves on meeting many different learning styles exactly where they are...we are forever grateful.

I'm a proud parent of an Academy star. I have 100% confidence in Andy Paciulli and his entire staff. I've been in a position to observe things at least once a day for over 6 years and I'm very impressed with the entire Academy team. I've watched my child get challenged academically, disciplined appropriately, supported often, well taken care of by Nurse Amy and Judy Palmeri and held accountable and helped along by the office crew. The school is kept sparkling clean by Ricky and Brian. To this day my child and I still share great memories of the most fabulous kindergarten experience any parent and child could ask for, due to the wonderful * ELLEN NAM *. I will continue to recommend Academy School to any parent. It's easy to brag about my school because there is so much good. I also can say I'm proud of how the school deals with difficult issues as well. I'm not naive to the many difficult and sad family issues affecting so many. I'm confident these exist in every school. I have seen first hand the schools ability to jump on serious matters the moment they come to light and I am proud of the way they have dealt with them over the years. One day, I observed a child walk in having some type of emotional breakdown. I was very proud of what I saw take place. The situation was immediately addressed and handled with compassion. The child was given immediate support and this was all done without affecting the happy children walking by seconds later. I watched a very professional staff deal with the matter and within seconds a friendly face was once again greeting the kids as they entered the school. To me this said alot about the school and there ability to handle a situation.
