Logan has been amazing for our family. It’s not just a school; it’s a community where kids thrive and families feel welcome. The hands-on, project-based learning is perfect for curious, creative kids. My favorite part is the units. Kids get to pick topics they’re genuinely interested in—whether it’s wormholes, cats, or the history of WWII aviation — and dive deep. They get to explore, experiment, and create something meaningful. The expos, where they present their work, are such a great motivator and a confidence booster.The community is just as special. Parents are encouraged to be part of the experience, whether it’s helping with a unit, sharing their expertise, or just showing up for events. Everyone feels included, and the whole vibe is so welcoming. Logan also does a great job of teaching kids independence and responsibility while still making sure they feel supported.If you’re looking for a school that’s creative, inclusive, and all about hands-on learning, Logan is it. It’s been such a great fit for both of my kids, and I can’t recommend it enough.

This is our 7th year at the school. We moved one child after attending another elementary school and not being happy and the younger kiddo started in kindergarten. We have two very different children with different learning styles, interests, and social-emotional needs and both love it there. The school has individualized curricula that allow the kids to study what they are most interested in, at the same time weaving all the things they should be learning at their grade level without them even noticing it (to a degree, of course!). They are doing a great job keeping the kids engaged and always learning at the edge of their potential (not getting bored) - I am always amazed at how much my children know. I highly recommend this school if you have a gifted learning that's bored in their current environment!

We have joined the Logan after attending a Montessori school and finding out that even with that more individualized approach, our kids were bored, disengaged and not being met with their emotional needs. After the first month at Logan, I can now already see the positive change in my kids - they are happy to go to school, excited about what they are learning and absolutely love their teachers. Most of all, their curiosity and emotional needs are being met wonderfully. If you have a gifted child and are just considering the option, don't hesitate. We are so happy we made the move!

We came here after leaving a different gifted school and now wish we hadn't left. Our girls were challenged more at the previous school.

An exceptional school! Logan fosters an infectious enthusiasm for learning and discovery, inspired encouragement for expression, creativity and out-of-the-box thinking, exemplary support for furthering sensitive and thoughtful dealings with others, all along cultivating a sense of personal responsibility in the students. Logan offers a challenging and individualized approach to education with dynamic field trips and hands-on learning. The teachers and staff are highly qualified, dedicated and caring. They effectively uphold the school s values: empowering children; opening doors; fostering responsibility and independence; fostering care and concern for others. The teachers work with each child according to personality, learning style, interests and strengths and weaknesses. Our daughter has been challenged and supported in just the right balance according to her nature, interests and developmental capacity. The teachers have helped her build on her natural gifts while thoughtfully guiding her to take responsibility for some of her weaker areas. The community of families is dynamic and welcoming. The Logan environment is stimulating and sustaining. We are grateful to be here.

Logan provides a phenomenal education for gifted, self-directed learners. The environment is one of independence, safety, responsibility and respect. Children learn how to take charge and be accountable for their work and their behavior. Expectations are rigorous. Perhaps the most significant takeaways for us after seven years at the school are the critical thinking skills our child has learned, the confidence our child has in her abilities, the self-evaluation skills she has gained, and the resilience she has attained, learning that even when she does not succeed, she can persist, improve, and soar higher next time. Also great opportunities for the performing arts in upper grades, decent language instruction, and increasing physical education opportunities. The student environment is challenging and supportive of each other, with very little bullying (that is never tolerated when it occurs).

I went here for 6 years and it was a wonderful school for me. The teachers are great and i got a challenging education.

There are a lot of great things about the school but also some really troubling things like lack of basic math facts education and lack of basic Englsih grammar and vocabulary learning. No tests sounds great but teachers and students aren't held accountable and kids have a hard time transiitoning to other schools. I found that the same hands on experiental trips can be gained at free charter schools and the cost for the same trip is about half of what The Logan School charges.
