If your child is bright but not being taught in a way that constitutes his/her success, then consider making the change to this fantastic school! With an impressive nuturing staff, the middle school spends quality time assessing the specific needs and learning style of every child and in turn customizes individualized "game plans" within a small classroom setting. They foster a safe, intimate learning environment and their caring shows in the way they interact with the children as well as the parents. Our child was given the constructs & tools that helped her become an impressive self-motoivated, happy, & well-rounded successful student.

My son is in his second year at Renaissance and couldn't be a happier, more relaxed, positive or stress-free kid, getting GOOD grades!!! This school prides itself on being "that" environment for the child with learning differences and this could not be more true. The teachers and staff are amazing!!! They truly take the time to understand who your child is and what they really need to succeed and be prepared for college and life after. And as a family, we have our quality of life back! I highly recommend visiting this school or attending an Open House!

This school is everything it claims to be and more! Is it worth the tuition? Your child's education and self-esteem are priceless.

Renaissance is a wonderful school which provides a safe and happy learning environment for students. My son hated his old school where he was bullied by other and regular ignored by teachers. He was sad and depressed. Renaissance changes all that. He looks forward to going to school starting week one. Going to school is like going to a play date. Renaissance provides a safe and fun learning environment that he tries to go to school on days he doesn't feel 100%. The head of school, directors, and teachers are on the same page. It is responsive to students and parents. The school informs parents about what students are learning for the year; it also gives parents a preview of what students will learn next year. I often find the school to be one step ahead of the parents. Switching to Renaissance has been the best decision we've made for our child. The school tuition is very expensive, but Renaissance has earned it.

Disregard review on 5/27. The review from 5/27 was accidentally posted to the wrong school. I have called Great Schools many times to correct this and they never return my calls or email. I have called this school and have only gotten a recording and nobody has returned my call yet. This site needs to have a way to correct mistakes.

This school has changed my son's life. He struggled in the public school and was made to feel like a failure. The Reniassance school helped him to find out what learning strategies worked for him. They helped him to succeed. He went from an 7th grader in the public school system who was failing and absolutely hated school to a now current 12 th grade student, who after 5 years at Reniassance is succeeding. He is not only getting good grades but has been accepted to 2 of the 3 colleges he has applied to. The staff at this school really knows what they are doing and how to help students to succeed.

This school teaches the whole child. Academically,creatively,and socially.The teachers are wonderful as well as all of the support staff,There are many opportunities for my child to grow and be challenged at Renaissance,which is why we are there. We started in 6th grade and now in 9th.
