Our son didn't like the public school after being home schooled for 3 years but he kinda started trying to control what what he got to do so we decided to try Discovery & he's actually really enjoying it. The smaller class size is a better fit for him. He likes their Thursday after school activities.

My son is relatively new to Discovery and I can't say enough about the transition for him. The small classroom size and the one-on-one attention from the teachers is such a great blessing for my son's learning style. This is one of the best decisions we've made for your child.

My son was having a hard time with school and really didn't like going. We enrolled him at discovery and before this year he actually was looking forward to the year starting. The small class sizes are ideal for kids to get help when they need it, add to that the really exceptional people they employ as teachers and staff and Discovery has a winning team. My whole heart'd endorsement goes out to this school. Thank you Discovery public school!

Discovery Public School is amazing! My child was struggling in the public school system, and falling farther behind. His self confidence was down. We tried online school, and that didn't work so well. That requires a huge commitment from us parents, and as a two working parents, it was just to hard. So we decided to go with Discovery and things could not be better!!! We have our son back!!! He makes the honor roll, and realized how much he loves to read books!!! The whole teaching staff is the best, and you can really tell how much they care about the kids!!

I have worked at Discovery Public School of Faribault from 2006 to the present as a Social Studies teacher. The teacher to student ratio is much lower than most schools. This allows for more individual attention for each student enrolled. At Discovery we believe that fairness is giving each student what he or she needs. The staff has stayed much the same over the past few years, and I believe that the teachers, paraprofessionals, and office staff really care and believe in what we are trying to accomplish. If your child is struggling at a large school, or just getting lost in the shuffle, Discovery offers a smaller setting where your child can get the help they need. I could not be happier with my experience teaching at Discovery, and feel that the school has been a part of many success stories.
