I am writing this review because we are just a few weeks into summer and my son cannot wait to go back in the fall. I think that is the biggest compliment a school can get lol. Before Juniper, my son didn't dislike school--just didn't care. He didn't have any real friends and wasn't interested in going to everyday. He is gifted and his previous school just had so many other students I think he just got lost. The teachers cared, but there were just so many other students he was lost.

I couldn't be happier with our experience at the Juniper School! The teachers are truly exceptional—dedicated, compassionate, and highly skilled at fostering a love of learning in every student. They go above and beyond to ensure that each child feels supported and challenged, tailoring their approach to meet diverse needs and learning styles.The learning environment is equally impressive. The classrooms are vibrant and well-equipped, creating a stimulating atmosphere that encourages curiosity and creativity. The school emphasizes not just academic excellence, but also the social and emotional development of the students, nurturing well-rounded individuals.The community at Juniper School is warm and welcoming, making both students and parents feel like part of a big family. Our child has thrived here, both academically and personally, and we are incredibly grateful for the positive impact this school has had on our lives. I highly recommend the Juniper School to any parent looking for a top-notch education for their child!

The best school in Durango. This is the first school my child has not been bullied at and has friends and because he no longer hates going to school he is thriving academically. Ms Joanne and Ms Leslie are superstars!
