They are so disorganized that the whole school experience has been filled with disappointments. Make your self a favor and choose another school.

This school is such a disappointment. Extremely bad communication and lack of organization. Teachers are not even skilled to teach proper English.

Unfortunately LPA has been a very disappointing experience. They lack in organization and clear communication. If you want to speak with the principal, just forget bc she is never available and rarely at the school.

I was so happy to find a school like La Piazza. My child has excelled academically, but most importantly loves going to school each day. She really enjoys participating in atelier and music classes, as well as the Mandarin class. The staff are all caring, dedicated and passionate about what they do. The school itself is beautiful, and clean. If you want a high quality, non-traditional experience for your child's education, this is definitely the school for you.

La Piazza Academy has been a perfect fit for our family. Their progressive approach to education aligns with our values, promoting our children's stability and growth. The dedicated faculty provides personalized attention, while innovative teaching methods and a holistic approach ensure a well-rounded education. We are grateful for the positive impact La Piazza Academy has had on our children's lives. It's surprising to see reviews about the communication, since from day one teachers and administration have been clear with their communication, give updates appropriately and are extremely helpful.

Our oldest is finishing his final year at La Piazza, having spent the last years in elementary was an amazing experience he is now prepared for middle school and beyond. His teachers bring such passion and energy and creativity to the class, each day my son is thrilled to go to school. Project-based learning, a hallmark of La Piazza education, we enjoyed so much all the projects our son was involved. We are very thankful to the school for the positive impact it had in our family.

Our family feels very safe and welcomed at this school. The teachers appear content and valued. The small classes, with two teachers, provide extra attention for personalized learning.From a young age, my child has been encouraged to speak and advocate for herself. Through daily reflection meetings called 'circle times,' children become comfortable with public speaking, general communication, and collaboration.

This is an excellent school that fosters young minds so that they feel confident and love learning! We are three years in, and both my kids love going to school, feel engaged and valued, and I have seen their confidence grow year by year. This has also set them up for academic success, with both kids performing above grade level for reading and math.

La Piazza Academy has not been a good experience. My child is in first grade and they do combo class putting together 1st and 2nd grades. My son cries every day to go to school because of bullying issues. Looking forward for the school year to finish to give a fresh start.

Working at La Piazza has been a growth opportunity for me. Since my arrival at the school 8 years ago, I have held different positions, and I have made the best of each experience. I am proof that if you constantly prepare yourself as a professional and give your best, the school helps you grow. I started as a co-teacher for the 3-year-old class and then became the Lead teacher for 2, 3, and 4-year-olds, I was then promoted to be the Preschool Curriculum Coordinator and today I am the Associate Head of School of La Piazza Academy and in charge of the Preschool program. Teaching is my passion, and La Piazza has the approach that fits perfectly with my beliefs of what a quality education should be, that sees the child as a critical thinker, a being who deserves respect and has infinite potential. The work environment is very pleasant and supportive, I really enjoy what I do and love working at La Piazza Academy.

We love La Piazza. We couldn’t be more pleased with the love, care and attention my child receives from the amazing staff. It feels more like a good family. The school itself is also extremely clean and welcoming. I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.

Working at La Piazza I can say that I have found the perfect match. I’ve been working as a teacher for over 16 years and I have never experienced such a level of quality education, positive school culture, and environment like La Piazza. I am blessed, happy and grateful to be able to be part of this school family, who values, embraces, and respect the families and their differences.

My daughter has attended La Piazza for the past 3 years, since she was in Kindergarten, and it has been more than I could have ever asked for. She is excited about school and loves to share the details of her projects and classroom activities with us. She is also proud to have started playing violin and piano. Her teachers have all been lovely and have each made a connection with her. Being at La Piazza has been a wonderful experience, and I whole-heartedly recommend this school!

I recently started working at La Piazza Academy and I can't stop recommending this school to everyone I know who has kids ages 18 months to 5th grade. The philosophy of the school is like no other. It combines 3 different educational approaches which makes it a very unique school. Not only do kids learn respect to themselves, others and their community, but they learn to be curious and highly inquisitive. I wish this school had been around when my son went to school. I truly believe this school send out little changemakers to make a difference in the world.

Everything about LPA is amazing! The school provides an ideal enviromental for its students. Not only teachers, all the staff go above and beyond for the kids. The parental involvement is top notch. The food is delicious and healthy. Right now due to this difficult time we are going through, LPA is doing everything to keep the children safe and stress-free. THANK YOU!!!

Both my son and daughter attend this school. The administrations focus on the socio-emotional development of the students is the reason I chose this school. As a bonus, the progressive approach to education has been very effective with both my kids. The school also focus on the training of their teachers, which is the best investment they can make. There's also a great availability of after school activities, which makes it easy for us. All in all a great experience us as parents and our children.

We have had a wonderful experience with La Piazza for both our children and I would strongly recommend this school for the early stages of childhood education. The staff is very caring and the main teachers have been great with the children. The pre-school facilities are nice given the school size, with spacious classrooms and plenty of natural light. We are big fans of progressive education and the Montessori & Regional’s Emilia approach has worked well for our family. After the successful summer camp experience with demanding COVID protocols, we’re happy to be starting our 3rd school year at LPA.

Terrible ! In the beginning they are super friendly but as soon as you have a issue or need some answers they act like your the one in the wrong. And they cut the communication. The education isn’t even good. The teachers don’t even speak good English. My child was coming home speaking broken English. It was terrible
